Asked Marty Hurney if he was tempted to trade up to grab Derwin James during his slide. He was. He talked with at least one team about getting up there, but didn’t happen.

I mean lots of conversations happen that never come to any deals. No harm in gauging interest if it’s a good deal

[Rick Grimes]

Wonder what it would’ve cost...

Assures that we do trade up in the 2nd tomm

This... I bet we are getting Reid in 2nd.

Damn, would be loved that pick...  I think James has Ed Reed, Sean Taylor, Polamalu-type ability.  He is going to be special.

I'm guessing it would've cost next years first, which he said he didn't want to move...  I bet the teams there in the teens were gouging once James slipped there too.  Would've loved it, likely regardless of the cost as he was my favorite player in the entire draft, but I'm still excited for our pick and the fact we didn't lose any assets.

I'm not surprised. He almost go within draft trade value range of #24 + one of our 3rds. That would've been #18/19. If we were making offers, I hope that it was dangling one of those picks. Considering James went #17, we would've gotten good value per the chart had we swung that deal. This also gives me hope that we're serious about addressing the safety position. Would not be at all surprised to see both a safety and a CB taken tomorrow. S, CB, TE would be my guess.

I'm sure teams tried to get Marty to give up too much. Old Marty would have done it. Glad he didn't. We got a great player and still have all of our picks

Wouldn't be mad. We have to get a top safety or CB

You actually have to go for a nice ransom remember he was ranked what 30 outta 32 poo he's been known to do dumb moves.

I’m glad he tried and I’m just as glad he didn’t let himself get swindled.
