Actually, it’s just the opposite. The first statement is more accurate and less misleading. It more clearly states what actually happened. The second statement is more ambiguous.
The Saints lost multiple picks and received one in return. Stop trying to hide that and make it sound better.
Do you understand Economics? The opportunity cost of the Saints drafting McCoy is the multiple players that could have been drafted if the picks had not been traded away.
Absolutely right, they didn't give up one pick, they gave up two. We gave up the pick that was used on Andy Isabella, and it also took away whatever player will be used in next years draft
Andy Isabella + 2020 Second Round Draft Pick= 2 picks total

Am I missing something? Is the league's own NFL.com website erroneous in listing the particulars of this trade? We give 62, 202, and next year's second for 48 and 116?
The "cost" was next year's second round pick. The "gain" was moving one pick up 14 spots and a second pick up 86 spots in this year's draft. Whether you think moving the two picks up this number of spots was or wasn't worth next year's second can certainly be argued...but that's the actual "value" each team gave in the trade. Saints gave up next year's two; Dolphins gave up a total of 100 draft order spots over two picks.
