2009 NFL Draft Chat/Discussion

Several sources reported that he did including ESPN, so what source do you have that he didn't? (not saying you are wrong, just would like to see if it all actually was a ploy.)

actually all the reports including ESPN, said sources close to the situation, or something more vague, the only interview I saw with JC was one where he said it hurt, but nothing about requesting a trade. We will see, but at this point you have to think that whatever hurt may have occurred is overcomeable(lol) if JC plays lights out, and DS pays lights out. Both of which I think will happen

YES! My dream draft pick came thru. He's telling PrimeTime that was the team he wanted to come to..
well a lot of guys say that but I think he'll play just like we were

Wow, Cleveland's looking pretty damn smart so far. haven't said that in a while.
fresh FO

What are the chances that we move up and get either , Britten , Beatty or Duke Robinson ?

Cerrato, if he can be believed, said they called every team ahead us to get orakpo.
Then why didn't someone trade back? I mean did everyone want their guy that badly?

Go ahead and check every single article on the subject. There is never a quote from JC or his agent. There is never any proof given. Every article simply recycled a bogus report from NFL Network (good job Steve Wyche:()

Well, I would think that the Campbell camp would be up in arms about articles like this then: Washington Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell has made it clear to the franchise: if they continue to pursue a successor or a replacement for him, then he's going to request a trade.

Maybe you are right, but I would think he actually did say it since he's not pissed off about it.

Please find me an exact quote from Jason or his agent, not an attribution of words that he may or may not have said.

And you are forgetting that VC could have said to Steve Wyche, "Guess what Jason told me this morning..." even though JC said nothing.

Oh yeah, don't forget that JC may have been in on the whole thing, so he would not have been pissed by anything (including possibly bogus Cutler trade talks, by the way).

Then why didn't someone trade back? I mean did everyone want their guy that badly?

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.

Then why didn't someone trade back? I mean did everyone want their guy that badly?

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