Can the picks be traded immediately now that an order is set? Or is there a date scheduled for this to begin?

They can be traded now, but it is generally stupid to deal one of the picks before draft day, when you know who is available at that pick, unless you are getting something in return where you don't care who is available in that slot.  Most picks dealt after this point are going to involve a team who desires a specific player and only want the pick if that player is still available in that spot.
