Quote:Think it through.  The only reason his guy wouldn't be there at # 3 is because one of his "chums" had already taken him at 1 or 2.  Yet he believes he can simply trade up without giving away the farm?  Trust me; dinner isn't going to change the price. Don't lose sight of the fact that these other GM's are his competitors!

 

PS  Since you asked, No, that's not the definition of "chummy" and it's not uninformed, it's just naive.

NYC had a mistype as Caldwell had dinner with Snead and Dimitroff. That's the Rams and Falcons GM. Caldwell said the #1 pick is probably off the table, which is common sense anyways. Caldwell said the price to move up from #3 to #2 would probably be a 3rd or 4th round pick, "depending on demand". Which he is speaking the absolute truth in my opinion. It cost us a 4th to move up and grab Blackmon? If there isn't another team or two who really wants to move up above us (that is if we even want to trade up 1 spot), there's no reason why a 3rd or 4th round pick wouldn't swap ours and the Rams pick.
