Twitter: Broaddus Tweet on trade up call to 6

It doesn't name sense. If Detroit, Carolina or Denver takes Parsons than one of the corners would be there or even Sewell. Only 9 players can be drafted in the first 9 picks

Yeah, it sounds like they did really like Parsons, but that trade up would've been to get ahead of Detroit for Sewell.

I don't believe that they tried to trade to 6 for Sewell. Can't convince me unless you have evidence

Well if it doesnt make sense it would be even more believable. Just think about our FO.

I didn't say they did.
But people are saying they looked i to it—which teams should always do, serious or not.
And Im saying IF they did it would've been for Sewell before Parsons.

No ****

Fisher asked the question about moving up to get one of the CBs in the post-draft presser last night and was met with an immediate hard "No" from Stephen Jones.

Stephen explained they got a 3rd from Philly to move down 2 spots, so you could imagine what it would cost to move up to #6.

Too prohibitive.

The cost to move from 10 to 6 is a late 2nd round pick according to the draft value charts. That would have been a costly move. Given all the needs this team has on defense, it would have been a tragic mistake too. Dropping 2 spots and picking up a 3rd rounder makes much more sense.

I think they draft pretty good for the most part

I don't think it was for Sewell. I'm not saying they didn't call and see what it would cost to move up to 6 cause that I believe. The part I don't believe is you're saying it was for Sewell. It is more believable for Parsons, Surtain or Horn

Broaddus said 2 weeks ago Parsons was not a direction they were going. Makes me rethink listening to the draft show.

It’s McCarthy forte. He did it in Green Bay would barely interview or speak with possible first rounders. I have a friend that was a scout for Green Bay and that was his thing. And he’s done it here now 2 years in a row. Did a small talk or quick interview just once.
