It's not gospel. But there's enough smoke here to say that teams wanted dee Ford around where we picked. I doubt he would have been available if we traded down too far.

Teams during the draft tend to talk a lot. Potentially anyone who heard that the falcons or eagles wanted Ford could be told this as a smokescreen for another player. However the power of deduction makes me believe that if teams were talking about him at that spot, then they thought he was worthy of being drafted there.
