Quote:I know you were, but my point is you have nothing of substance to imply that Caldwell may not have what it takes to move down in the 1st round if need be..  "the inability to find a trade partner" was primarily because there was no RG3 at #2 last year.  Im sure he had calls about trading up, but noone was willing to give anything substantial for us to move down.  THAT was the reason we didn't trade down, and everyone knows it.  You, of course, like to casually imply it's because Caldwell runs his mouth too much.

 

Not saying its definitely because Caldwell is too transparent.....however, I'm also not discounting that possibility either. I've seen 1st round deals go down in the past that were nice trade downs that weren't of the benefit of having the "RG3" being there at the pick. I'm guessing it was more the benefit of whatever team that was there at the pick being good poker players and keeping the rest of the league guessing as to what their intentions were.
