Hell, the Broncos didn't even INTERVIEW Jay Cutler, and still took him.

I think the supposed interest is to make teams think long and hard about trading up.

JMO.

If that's the case, I think they did it backwards. They needed to show recent interest if that's the ploy, and it really is a smokescreen.

Go back and listen to Herm Friday:

Q: Coach, what do you think about Matt Ryan? Worthy of the fifth pick?

EDWARDS: “I think he’s a good player. I’m going to say that about every player. There’s your answer. He’s going to play in this league and that’s it. That’s all can I tell you.”

That to me is too low-key, which makes me suspicious. Herm is a very talkative guy. When he shuts up like that is when I think you have to pay attention, this time of year.

I think he would have said that about any player they asked about.

They've done a damn good job so far about keeping everyone guessing about what they're really going to do.

I don't think he'd get too chatty OR too quiet about a player and give anyone a clue this late.

Again, JMO.
