[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 803708, member: 10441"] I get it, i've gotten it since we picked him. I never failed to understand the picks it took to get a player. My point the entire time has been he didn't cost us 3 picks. He cost 2 additional picks. If I have an apple and you have 2, but mine is a Golden Delicious which I don't really mind or want, bu you you do. And you have 2 Cortlands that I think are ok but you don't at all, but you love the Goldens we make a trade. You get my 1 apple and I get your 2. Yes, I realize I have 2 apples in my hands, but I didn't gain 2 apples. I gained 1 additional. It cost you 1 additional to get the 1 you wanted. If I have pick #1 and I trade it and get Picks 2 and 3 in return, but give up #1. I didn't get 2 additional picks. I got 1 additional pick for moving back in line. A draft pick isn't money. It's a spot in line. If you hang on to them they cost you everything though you get nothing in the end. You can't use them again next year. They only have value if you use them. 1 draft pick = 1 player. If I turn 1 draft pick into 2 draft picks, all I did was take a later place in line and pick up an additional player. I know I picked 2, but I already had 1. So I gained 1. I wouldn't say I gained 2. You can list the draft numbers all you'd like. We didn't give up 3 picks to get Spriggs, we gave up 2 draft picks to move up and get him in that round. We traded two later spots in line to move up. [/QUOTE]
