They each had 15 draft picks. At the time of the draft, one of them chose to spend their top 2 picks on 2 keepers. The other chose to spend their top 8 picks on 8 keepers. -- (edited)

Each pick was used, to keep the respective player. No draft picks were created or eliminated. They were just used, silently. Roger Goodell never stepped to the podium.
Since each team had 15 picks prior to lock, they can trade those 15 picks with a 1:1 pick balance as we've done in the past.
Then when rosters lock for Keepers in August, trades stop for a day or so, and each team has 15 picks to make their Keepers with. The only rule is you lose the Top X # of picks you keep.
In this case, since Crash gave up 3-8 for Kelce and 15-2, he keeps 6 and uses his first 6 picks to keep them. 1-8, 2-8, 4-8, 5-8, 6-8, 7-8. He then starts drafting from the player pool with 8-8.
Me, my team is shit, so I keep 1 player ... I give up 1-2 to keep him. I then use 2-2, 3-2, 3-8 to draft as normal.
Every other person who kept silently uses their 1-1(15) 2-1(15) on their keepers...etc until they are drafting from the pool.
I draft from the pool early since I didn't have depth. You had depth so you draft from the pool later because you used your first 9 picks on your keepers.
But at no point does any person have more than 15 picks/players in play at the time of the draft.
