Your reasoning makes it sound as if we lost the #53 pick and got nothing in return. This is not the case.

No, it doesn't. We got Rocky McIntosh in return.
You guys are explaining what it took to move up, I'm explaining what we paid for McIntosh.
If we would have picked a player at #53 we would have paid a 2nd round pick for that player! Nothing in this world is for free.
We owned 3 less draft picks after we selected RM than we did before we selected him. It is that simple.
