I'd be surprised if a team exec would fly a guy in, have dinner with him, work him out and have him sit down with coaches without telling said player where he's thinking of taking him. Doesn't mean that the GM is telling the truth. Could be (and likely is) that the GM who told McCarron he'd be going top-20 is hoping that McCarron spreads that info around and gets some sap of a GM to take him higher or trade up for him, pushing someone else down the board.
