It seems like all the talk about a group of players having the same grade may have been a charade. They must have had Tyron Smith as the clear #1 player on their board and didn't want to risk trading down and taking a lesser player.
If so, then they stuck to their convinctions and made the right choice.

They wanted desperately to make a trade. Just couldn't get anyone to pay enough.

RoyTheHammer;3927714 said:Yup. Sounds like Ellis just made an assumption based on what he thought he saw in the war room. Didn't seem like they were stressin not getting a deal done at all. They seemed genuinely happy when we selected Smith.
RoyTheHammer;3927750 said:I'd stay put at this point. We will have a quality OL or DL fall to us. If we want to go DB, there will be a quality guy there for us too. Maybe Moore?
realtick;3927764 said:I could see Rahim Moore being there. I have a strong suspecion that they will look at Watkins there if he's available.

RoyTheHammer;3927785 said:Yea, i just don't know about Watkins. I have a feeling he'll be there if we want him in the 2nd, but he'll be 27 soon. He's supposed to be in the prime of his NFL career by that age.
realtick;3927836 said:Cam Jordan must have been caught snortin' coke at the draft table today because I have no idea how he's dropped this far.
Great kid, great football player, great background...
