Ok, I have a little more info. Protected draft picks are not a thing in the NFL. They use other methods. For example, if you trade a player for a 3rd round pick and your team wins 10 games it becomes a 2nd round pick. Or if a team wanted to protect a top 10 pick, they could do it by making it a 2nd round pick of they lose an agreed amount of games.

There is no draft range protection in the NFL. But I can't find anything forbidding it either.
