ESPN says we tried to trade down at 15 instead of taking DJ...

He absolutely did say that in the press conference. The message was that they didn't trade down because they knew one of the teams wanted DJ. Of course you'd trade down if you were sure you could get the player you want - DJ - and get another pick.

If that's the case, then good. ESPN has been known to be FOS.

Of course, we all know Carl lies. He was just covering his ass for not being able to trade down and avoid drafting a guy he absolutely didn't want.

Choose between believing ESPN or Carl? I for one believe neither.

Wouldn't that be great if they had a laptop with a net connection open to Chiefsplanet?

Carl: OK, Dick, we're gonna trade down since Davis is gone.

Vermeil: Ok, let's do it.

Arrowhead lackey: Uh, Mr. Peterson, sir, Chiefsplanet is imploding. They are going nuts over Derrick Johnson.

Carl: Let's draft Derrick Johnson.

Vermeil: But I want a wide receiv-

Carl: SIT THE **** DOWN AND SHUT THE **** UP, DICK.

Gunther: I knew I could count on my internet peeps.

Carl is always looking to wheel and deal. I'm suprised he hasn't traded up into the second round, and I still think it's possible he will.

I wouldn't bet on it.

I've got half a drunken beer and some peanuts that says he will.

If CP didn't TRY to trade down 6-8 spots to add a second round pick....he would have not been doing his job.

I'm glad we got Johnson, but if I we'd have had a shot at at Burnett AND Miller or Browner....I'd have had to think about it, for a bit.

I'd still have stayed at 15 though, more than likely.
