a dumb ass like yourself judging my opinion to be bad is a definite compliment.

so thanks
It is just as likely that Carl was entertaining offers from other teams as it is that he was making offers in a desperate attempt to avoid drafting DJ. But you said you remembered "it" in the same way that B_Ambuehl did which is that Carl was making the offers. (Whether "it" was an unjustified rumor or actual knowledge worth posting.)

It is a leap of logic to jump to the conclusion that taking the full 15 means the latter rather than the former. And regardless of which direction the offers were flowing, it is not reasonable to assume that Carl was undervaluing DJ at all since no one has stepped up to the plate with the offer they think Carl was making for us to make a comparision. OTOH, I've offered an example of a trade that would have made sense for the Chiefs which justifies Carl's decision to entertain offers before pulling the trigger. He lost nothing by waiting, but the upside for waiting was unlimited even if it was unlikely.
