Think the rumor was Buffalo.

Guess Tebow's Dad and agent were right before the Draft . . . .

Bad front office?

It was rumored that the Bills were trying to trade up into the 1st round to draft Tebow.

I think Dallas nabbed Bryant before Denver got him. He would have been the perfect replacement for Marshall. Then they decided on Tebow. But over Colt McCoy? Wow.

Denver did and they traded up to do so.

Denver had their pick of WR, didn't they?

They went Thomas.

Dallas snaked the hell out of Baltimore.

Was Bryant really a lock for the Ravens?

That's the rumor.

Schefter said it around the 22nd pick on Twitter. As soon as NE went on the clock McShay was in the middle of slotting Bryant to Baltimore (you can tell he got word through the earpiece) and then added in that Dallas might jump up to get Bryant.

Supposedly someone in the Ravens camp texted Jerry that Dallas took the guy the Ravens were wanting.

On the flipside, I guess Baltimore is saying they would have traded with Denver because that package was too good.

Yep, apparently after the pick was announced someone from the Ravens texted Jerry saying "You got our guy"

It was rumored that the Bills were trying to trade up into the 1st round to draft Tebow.

Shefter actually tweeted last night that the Bills must have been "heartbroken" that Denver moved up to get him. I don't know if they were actively trying to move up or not.

Hoofbite is right.....Belicheat and JJ JOBBED the RAvens and Ozzie....he must not have slept last night: AT ALL. Bryant is exactly what Flacco needed IMHO

Yes there where several teams that had a 1st round grade on Tebow and had him rated over Claussen.

I knew Buffalo was not going to draft Claussen I think they saw JP Losman II all over again

 

[Alexander]

I am still amazed at what they gave up for him.

We talked about it here where Gary Horton says 6 teams including Buffalo believed to have a first round grade on Tebow

I heard possibly Buffalo, Browns and the Patriots.
