Umm, so that's a first round pick in 2009, a third round pick in 2009, a sixth round pick in 2009 and also a seventh-rounder in 2009. If there's not a typo in there, why couldn't they just say:

"The Cowboys will give up a 2009 pick to Detroit in the first, third, sixth and seventh rounds."? Why such tortured wording?

Then the reader comments sound like they gave up a first and a second.

I read that as:
Lions Get: 2009 1st, 2009 3rd and 2009 6th

Cowgirls Get: Roy Williams, 2009 7th
