It wasn't released to the media. I have a friend who works for the team...during draft season, he is involved in breaking down game tape, setting up the draft room, etc. He won't tell me everything but he will give me bits and pieces from time to time.

My previous post was his understanding of what is going on inside the org from conversations he was involved with today. Take it or leave it...was just passing on what I had heard. No offense to this board, but if it was more popular, I wouldn't have shared it.

That kind of makes sense, especially if it was just talk around the office.

I am sure they have some spots in mind for when certain things become explorable.

The nice thing is that if Bikerack shares it here and it comes true, he has credibility and a time stamp for documentation. If he's wrong, hardly anyone but us sees it.

Still, even within the organization, whisper campaigns may be used to find out who potential "leakers" are for the purpose of getting rid of them. So be careful what you circulate.

Thank you for sharing.

And Bob, just because the team does not complete a trade up does not mean that they did not try to trade up. Remember it takes two teams and both teams have to agree on the price. So Bikerack's credibility should not be tied to a completed trade only. I for one appreciate having his new blood on this site.

I appreciate his comments too and in no way meant to imply that he was not credible if the trade does not develop.

None taken. I do nothing to promote this board or site.

I think the board would be a little better if it was slightly more active (maybe double the tiny number of posters we have). I think it'd be far worse if it was super active. Not because other boards have worse posters, but because more means more problems, more fights, more off topic, more need for moderation, more pointless posturing from internet tough guys, etc... I am sure if it was more guys just like us it'd be terrible.

Basically I'm saying I love this board because it's small and more like talking sports around the water cooler then talking sports on the giant anonymous internet.
