That 4th pick you speak of was Robert Griffin.

We spent 4 count them 4 picks to get robert griffin. 3 first rounders and 1 second rounder. It's that simple.

The fact we used those picks, to get the ram's pick, that we used to get robert griffin does not change the cost.

Our 4 picks = the ram's pick we wanted = rg3. Our cost was 4 picks.

Period.

How was our cost 4 picks, if one of the picks was RG3? RG3 wasn't on the Rams when we made that trade. We gave away four and got back one. 4-1=3. Simple math man. Simple math, period.

Ermagerd not the trade argument again. Whether you say that the trade was 4 picks or 3, you are correct, depending on perspective.

We sent 4 picks to the Rams. So the cost was 4 picks GROSS.
We got 1 pick to use on Gryphon. So the cost was 4-1=3 picks NET.

Both 4 and 3 are correct, depending on how one wishes to view the situation.

And what about the mortgage?

We traded 4 picks to get 1 pick from the Rams... 4-1=3... Then we used that pick we got from the Rams to draft RG3 3+1=4... Still simple math, You just need to make sure you add up all the steps and not leave one out. How do you explain us drafting RG3 using a 12' first, 12' second, 13' first, and 14' first (and that is, was, and always will be what we paid to get RG3) and count those 4 draft picks and claim it adds up to 3 draft picks while throwing out statements like... Simple math. 1+1+1+1=3 uh... I dont think so.

You talked about 1 pick being RG3... Exactly, the pick that was used to get him counts as a pick used to get him, seems self explanatory to me. Every player that has ever been drafted has cost at least one draft pick, regardless of the round used to get them. You dont draft a player in the 5th round and then claim you used 0 draft picks to draft him. You used 1 pick, a 5th rounder.

If using the 12' first we got from the Rams doesnt count as being used, then we still have a 12' first rounder (#2 overall) available to use. Because by your logic, we never used it to draft RG3.

Because we swapped first rounders, there is no loss of pick there.

No, our cost was 3 picks because we will not reap the benifits of those picks. If I give you 4 dollars but you give me one back did it really cost me 4 dollars ? In your world yes, but in my world I only spent 3.

We only gave up 3 becuase we just swapped picks...I guess this is where you would have added PERIOD ?
