that is what he said, and look I trust Cerrato's comments as far as I can throw Orakpo, but I believe they called and offered a modest deal to move up, just so they could say they did it. you gotta admit after Jacksonville every team got good guys who dropped because Sanchez went so high and Oakland was Oakland.

Maybe, or maybe we just didn't have enough ammunition that we were willing to give up. We have no 2nd rounder, for example.
