I forgot who we traded with but it doesn't matter, when the trade was announced, what was said? I'll help you, other team gets two 1s from us and we receive a 1 from them. That's trading two 1s for the 1 we received. The "swap" doesn't negate us trading it away.
This is like the Laurel vs Yanny thing from a few years ago. Some people heard Laurel, some heard Yanny. It's fascinating to me how people can look at the same trade details and see two different things.
greatshow25 brings up a good point about how you never hear that a team traded two 3rd round picks to move up in the 3rd round. It's always announced like, "The Saints have swapped picks with the Patriots. The Patriots pick up a 4th and 6th in exchange" instead of, "The Saints have traded two 3rd rounders, a 4th, and a 6th to the Patriots and they are now on the clock."
