There are so many good looking girls in the world that it probably doesn't matter in the long run. For me after this pick I don't have to worry about a pick for 3 rounds which is good because I am starting a new job. Maybe Steve figures it will be better to have a bunch of picks all lumped together
It's not the same thing at all. I moved done 6 spots and moved up 79 spots later.

That's nowhere near the same as moving down 37 and moving up 37 later. The person moving down has gained absolutely nothing from this transaction and, in fact, has lost the trade because all they've really done is deferred their upcoming pick and got nothing in return. Heck, even if a person moved down 36 and moved up 37 later, they could at least say, "Hey, I moved up a spot in the next round." but 37 and 37 makes no sense.

Edit: I'm really looking to interfere with anything. I just have a fairly healthy respect for logic, and I'm trying to wrap my head around this trade.
