If it's true that he got calls about trade downs, one has to wonder how far back and if the Chiefs could have moved and still gotten Peters?

Maybe, but I think they might have taken Dupree regardless.

He would have easily fit into BPA and filled a huge need for them.

You should watch the video. Dorsey is as transparent as it gets from a GM and his facial expressions are full of tells.

His face says that he knew all three calls were from teams wanting to take Peters.

Assuming the trade up was inquiring about Parker?

I can't get enough of the Peters/Strong video in the OP. Peters pretty much locks him down on every snap when playing press man coverage on him sans one play near the end of the video when he slips. Strong caught a few on him while playing off (the TD being one of them).

This tells me everything I need to know. Ravens and steelers are the kings of letting the draft undervalue talent and getting a steal. Hell yeah Dorse.

What was the whole thing about the Cowboys and Marcus Peters? Were they trying to trade up or something? Just heard the tail end of it.

Read somewhere that the Cowboys had taken Peters off of their board.

Mentioning Chris Ballard, the guy's expertise supposedly is identifying DB's, so I'm sure he had a lot of pull on this pick:

Quote:

"Chris was a very strong defensive evaluator and he was excellent with defensive backs. And the whole time I was there, Chris cross-checked defensive backs. So he knew number one what we were looking for, number two he knew the personality of the coach, and knew if the coach could work with the kid and knew if the kid could prosper under the coach. There's not a lot of scouts, who can do that who have that skill. That's where he was very very strong."

Quote:

Part of Ballard's edge as an evaluator was that he understood which character issues mattered, which didn't, and which coaches could work with which players. That helped the Bears find some talented players other teams might no touch, or wouldn't touch that early.

"I think the fact that he coached at Texas A&M Kingsville," Gabriel said. "Where at the time when he was there, kids that couldn't get in at a lot of other places ended up at Texas A&M Kingsville. Some of them were bad character kids or I'm going to say borderline character kids, had some issues. So he knew how to deal with these kids.And knowing how to deal with these kids and knowing these kids and being around them, that gave him a better idea of how to judge character."

"And he did a very, very good job in getting the right information. He just had to say the little things to me and I knew he trusted the kid. There might be some issues with the kid, but he knows how to push the kid's button and knows how to get the best out of him and knows that he won't bust, so to speak. [The player] won't be a disappointment. I gotta say that he was right the vast majority of the time!"
