- Sonny trades three first-round draft picks (in addition to that year's #7 pick) for the #1 pick of the draft. So to swap the #7 for #1 he gives up three future first-round picks. Sonny then trades three second-round picks for the #6 pick of the draft. Then he swaps #6 for his original #7, the future first-round picks he traded away, plus a special teams player. With the picks, he gets the LB he originally wanted at #1 and a RB at #6.
