The NFL network guys seemed confused and thought it might actually be Savage. That would have been a cool trick if Macho pulled it off. “Macho Lazarus.......oh yeah”.
Everyone is saying the Bills took the full time but on draft night there was a clip of a celebration in the war room with 4:45 left to go. It was on NFL network. So either there was a slight delay in announcing the pick or maybe the paperwork was being filed. At 4:45 they had made their choice though.
Only flame I would have is that Carolina better demand a hell of a lot more than that from NE for that trade up. There are a number of premium players that will go between 8 and 15, but NE gets there so easy in this scenario.
Because all other teams phones are broken or because the 9ers won’t listen to other offers due to the Pats being such nice guys? The law of supply and demand says plan B’s price goes up once plan A falls apart.
What point is there for the Pats to smokescreen the 9ers? Using this rumor as a smokescrren for other teams? Maybe. But the 9ers pick third. Why do the Pats need to deceive them?
