I don't think there is any first round protection. The ruling as I understand it, is any deficit comes off the future year in the same round the bid was made.
Eg. If a bid was made in the 3rd round and there was a deficit, then neither the 1st or 2nd rounders are touched, and any deficit comes off the 3rd and 4th (if required).
If both Ashcroft and Fletcher are bid on in the first round, then there is no protection whatsoever to any of Brisbanes future picks.
The future first protection is only when the bid falls outside the first round.
