I hate this notion that you can 'get picks back'. When you trade a pick, it's gone. You gave something up. When you acquire a pick, you spend to get it. You don't 're-acquire' the one you gave up. They're two entirely different transactions.
It's like saying if you spend $1,000 on car repairs you can just get it back when you get paid next month. No, you don't get the $1,000 back. You earn more money. And if you hadn't spent that $1,000 on car repairs, you would still have that money and the money you earned on your next paycheque.
Teams are allowed to have more than one pick in a round. At our stage of the talent cycle, it's highly desirable that we do.
