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

The impression I got from listening to them is that one reason they were so high on Davis for 15 is because they were convinced that there was no way Johnson would still be on the board. I know they made some convoluded comments about what they'd do if they were both on the board but I really didn't take anything from it.

I don't know if anybody caught it or not, but being OCD as I am, I had the draft playing on TV, 810 playing on my second stereo and 610 playing on my walkman, and about the time that Carolina went on the clock, Soren Petro said that he saw a couple of chiefs coaches make a comment along the vein of "wow, maybe johnson really will fall to us".

I really think we got someone we coveted, and if we were trying to trade down, it's because we're obsessed with pick quantity over pick quality, and we were looking for some kind of blockbuster trade. Which wasn't likely to happen...
