Nate Taylor: some draft tidbits

Sounds like crap to me, too.

The simplest explanation is usually the best. Teams were trying to jump the Chiefs for a tackle, they stayed in touch with the 49ers to ensure that wouldn't happen, and outbid whomever tried to jump them to get their guys.

I listened to someone on NFL Radio (Kirwin or Polian, I don't remember) insist that teams don't "peddle" a pick like that.

That the Jets, for instance, would never call up Minnesota and say "Hey, we've got a team looking to jump to 10 and snag a guy in front of you, wanna make sure that doesn't happen?"

I mean if the Vikings moving up 1 spot to take a QB when the Jets have Rodgers or the Chiefs moving up 1 spot to grab Kingsley doesn't disprove the hell out of that notion, I just don't know what could.

Of COURSE they do that. Why in the world would they not? If you're not doing that, you're GMing wrong, IMO.
