They could literally say anything they want.
There's no reason for them to use a smokescreen but there's also literally no reason for them to tell the truth. For instance, if they're pursuing Alex Smith or Foles as a backup, telling the world they intend to take a QB #1 potentially undermines that effort and limits their leverage. |

why?
The only possible reason to use a 'smoke screen' would contract negotiations with that pick and that really no longer is an issue because of the Rookie Salary Cap. In fact, playing down the QB's actually reduces any possible trade down leverage.
