It's not?

Its two first rounders, a second, and a swap of 1st rounders this year. St Louis is not gaining 3 first rounders and we are not losing 3 first rounders. Thats the way I see it.

You are correct that it is two first rounders and a second rounder NET.

But most literally, we are giving them 3 first rounders and a second, they are giving us a first. Paperwork filed with the league will show us giving up 3 firsts.

If i had a nickel for every time someone "explains" the deal for the number 2 pick, I think Id have more than the 540 million dollar jackpot. We gave them THREE, count em 3!! first round picks for the rights to the number two pick in this years draft (with RG3, this numero dos picko is like a number one pick any other year other than this year......).

Its just semantics..........who cares how people report on it. Everyone has an agenda, everyone wants to get their points across. So for one journalist, on Monday of next week, he is saying its 2 first rounders, but on thursday the next week, to help him prove whatever point he is trying to make, it behooves him to report the deal as 3 first rounders. All I know is that RG3 is gonna be a redskin, and i have never been as excited as this as a redskins fan for one prospect!!!!!!!
