Nobody trades two first round picks for nothing. It's a given that a team gets something in return.

We gave up:

*Our 2018 first round pick
*Our 2019 first round pick
*A 2018 fifth round pick (the higher of two 5th round picks)

In return we got:

*Green Bay's 2018 first round pick

So the net result is that we traded two 1st round picks and a 5th round pick for Marcus Davenport.

Not sure you understand how "net" works.

Our 2018 first round pick(-)
Our 2019 first round pick (-)
A 2018 fifth round pick (the higher of two 5th round picks) (-)

In return we got:

Green Bay's 2018 first round pick (+)

=

- 2018 5th Round Pick
- 2019 1st Round Pick

The "net" result is that the Saints gave up, lost, paid, however you want to describe it, a 2018 5th round pick and a 2019 1st round pick. The Saints had only one 2018 first round pick before the trade. They still had one 2018 first round pick after the trade. The ONLY difference is that as a result of the agreement with GB the Saints made that pick at #14 INSTEAD of #27. Conversely, GB agreed to pick at 27 instead of 14. Neither team got anything "extra" or more than they already had, in the 2018 first round. They still each made one pick. The only difference is the spots in the round where they made those picks.
