that is a cost. you have zero justification in your logic to ignore the original cost of any player drafted.
Davenport costs us this year's 1st and 5th and next year's 1st. No way do you ignore this year's first out of the equation.
You don't do that cause take the Saints Kamara trade:
Kamara costs us that year's 7th and next year's 2nd round. In you two idiots' logic, that would assume that we gave away a 3rd round pick automatically in which we did not.

No one ever says draft picks "cost" anything when they aren't traded for. They're "used".
Honestly, people see right through your attempt to make the pick out to be worse than it was by saying Davenport "cost" the Saints a first round pick in 2018 rather than using the common terminology of the Saints "used" a first round pick in 2018.
Getting butthurt because you're being called on your bullshite just makes you seem that much more ridiculous.

It did not COST us this years pick. You are trying to apply economics to a football draft. You're being too literal old man.
We gave up 1 pick. Period. This is our only negative in the whole equation when it comes to first round picks. Its that simple.

Exactly. The only thing we lost first round wise is our pick next year. 1 pick. Not 2. But 1.
Arguing with the dude is like arguing with my wife.

that statement is 100% wrong. how you are defending this as truth is ignorant. We gave Green Bay the pick 27 as well as next year's first. That is by definition a cost. If it did not cost us that pick, we would have had our 1st round pick such as what we did when we drafted Kamara in the 3rd round.

We didn't "give" Green Bay the 27th pick. We traded it to them to acquire 14th pick.
Once again, you're using inaccurate terminology to try and frame this trade to be worse than it is.

I'm sorry for seeing though your bullshite, again. There's a reason you've got 1-7 upvote/downvote ratio man. It's because people don't buy your nonsense.

you haven't seen through shite. The other moron already said that literally i am correct. Hilarious he still wants to argue.
We gave, we sent, we traded, and it costed us our first round pick 27 and next year's 1st round pick for the ability to move up and end up drafting Marcus Davenport with the 14th pick of the draft. Quite literally there is nothing for you to argue. Your only argument is depending on what "extra" the saints had to give up in addition to the pick 27. I have nothing else to do but continue to argue this with you for the next 48 hours.

No, its actually because factually 90% of people are idiots.

Kinda sad honestly.

I'm not trying to insult anyone, least of all Chad.
But I just don't get why people get so riled up and aggressive over these topics.
You can make a point without insulting someone, and your point carries more weight if you're calm.
I'm starting to wonder if there's a discussion board out there that actually promotes Football/Saints-related conversations without constant trolling and insulting.
That shite was funny when I was like 22.
It's not anymore.
Am I the only one feels this way?

The guy using inaccurate, but technically not incorrect, phrases to frame a pick as worse than it was is saying other people are using semantics.
Gold.

you are giving when you are trading. we can pick up that fight again. let's go. when you are giving up picks, that in turn is what it is costing you.

You can keep spouting off this spin and fighting tooth and nail with all of the people that disagree with you. You seem to enjoy it.
Just understand that most of us realize you are only doing it because you don't like the pick much and saying "It cost the Saint's two 1st round picks" sounds worse than expressing it properly by saying "It cost the Saints a 1st and they USED a 1st".

i need you to further elaborate the difference between costing the saints 2 first round picks and the Saints using 2 first round picks to acquire Marcus Davenport.
