Whiffing the Draft has finally shown up

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."

No, it's not like that. People see that we received one in return and want to do 2-1 equals 1 so apparently only 1 pick was used which is wrong. We used a one that current year and the next year's 1, 2 of them total, and traded them to GB for their one. We used 2 1's in order to get the higher 1. That doesn't then turn into only 1 was used.
