trading two first-round draft picks to acquire Davenport at No. 14 overall"
This is exactly right. We traded 2 first round picks and a 5th round pick for a 1st round pick.

I wanna play too.
We swapped 1st rounders with Green Bay and for that honor we paid them with a 1st and a 5th.

I honestly don’t even understand what the argument is anymore lol.
2 first round picks that the Saints owned were involved in a trade for 14/Marcus Davenport. So yes, we did trade 2 first rounders to move up to 14 to aquire Davenport.
Davenport = 2018 1st rounder + 2019 1st rounder
1. 2018 first rounder
2. 2019 first rounder
TWO.
Forget about the “net”. The point is 2 firsts were used to take Davenport! Haha how is that even disputable?

Traded spots=1 first round pick Then we traded next year’s 1st. 1+1=2
We gave up our 1st next year and moved up a few spots this year. Trading spots does not equal giving up that first round pick. We gave up one first round pick not 2.

Because is misleading and ignores the first rounder we got in return so you can say "WE GAVE UP SOOOOO MUCH TO GET HIM".

If Green Bay had made the selection and then traded Marcus Davenport to us for #27 and the 2019 1st, would that be giving up two firsts for Davenport?
Posted on 6/20/18 at 3:55 pm to Browncoatrebel
Pretty average IMO
Posted on 6/20/18 at 4:15 pm to Mook1e
if they’d drafted Davenport at 27 it would have cost the saints one first to acquire him. add the 2019 pick and that’s...two firsts to acquire him

Ehh depends on how you look at it. You could look at the individual himself or you could look at his selection. Regardless of the person though he was the 14th overall pick in the 2018 draft so it would still be considered swapping first round picks imo

why do yall argue over semantics?
we got a beast pass rusher.

Yes. It took two 1st round picks no matter how you say it.

What we received has no baring on what we gave up.
if that's the case then how about we talk about how we moved up 13 spots in the draft and just not talk about what we gave up to do it?
Because it's ridiculous to talk about just one side of the trade. It all goes hand in hand. The fact of the matter is, we netted -1 1st round pick and gave up a 5th to move up 13 spots. Saying that we gave up two 1st rd picks to get davenport sounds much more negative and it doesn't really tell the whole story. Which is why people on here are annoyed by that kind of wording.

A bunch of idiots in this thread, jeez.
If you completely took back the trade the Saints would gain 1 first round, 1 fifth round, and slide 13 spots back.
They moved up 13 spots and gave up a 1st and a 5th to do it. It’s not hard to figure out.
They didn’t give up that 1st round pick, they enhanced it by giving up a 1st and a 5th to do so.

Everyone here at the time was saying: "HAHAHA ATL gave up 2 firsts for a WR".
It wasn't just two firsts. Granted you guys moved 8 spots higher than we did, but y'all gave up 2 firsts, a second, and 2 fourths for the 6th overall pick.
We gave up two "starters" and a "special teamer" for a "high end starter".
You guys gave up three "starters" and two "role players" for an "elite starter".
So what y'all gave up was considerably more than what we did, for potentially not that much better of an impact player.
We "cost" ourselves one starter, while y'all "cost" yourselves two, plus the extra "role player/special teamer" more than what we gave up.
But we did it for a position that is regarded as the most important and hardest to find on defense, while y'all did it for a receiver.
So to try and compare these two trades is foolish.

Exactly. We switched 1st rounders this year to move up higher and gave them a late first next year.
Grand total = we lost one first round pick in this trade.

The end result is going to be 7-9.
So first rounder here, first rounder there. Guy who plays Tetris here, also a feminist there... 7-9 shall be the outcome. :)
