Just once I'd like to see an anal history.

There might not be any difference depending on who we're talking about.

So what we've learned and been reminded of this week: we were one pick away from getting Big Ben and two picks away from Cam. Also that we traded up to take TJ graham over DangerRuss. Ugh

[NoSaint]

So they say.

 

It's real easy to say that now....

I 100% believe both cam and Big Ben

 

Buddy and chan would've been racing to make the pick

[Beef Jerky]

"Peterson: I’d had one conversation with the Cardinals. Didn’t even have an official visit. Nothing. I guess they didn’t want anyone to know [their plan]. When the phone rang, I didn’t know that area code—but then coach [Ken] Whisenhunt and [GM] Rod Graves came on the line and congratulated me on being a Cardinal."

 

Good quote, some teams don't even acknowledge the player they really want.
