it's hard to explain, but before I transcribed it I felt like we were going to take a QB for sure. I don't know why. It was something about the way he spoke.

after I did transcribe most of it though I just wasn't sure anymore.

i think that's when you take into account the questions he's being asked. in a way, when he's asked a question he likes to wallow in the limits of the posed question itself, and not volunteer any perspective beyond what is absolutely necessary to answer the question. he's very diplomatic in that way. i think this pragmatic "60% through the process" thing is a really handy thing that allows Hurney to avoid tipping his hand leading up to the draft.

How did he slip up? I didnt pick up on that

I would have to go back and listen to it to get it exactly right, but when the host asked him if Mallet was being considered at 1, his first comment was "no", then went on to say they had 30 visits and all candidates weren't being looked at for a particular slot.

As the discussion went on, he tried to backtrack a bit.

I had the same impression. I believe he either really has a QB as number 1 on his board, or he is trying his best to sell other teams on that to try to drum up trade interest.

The host kind of led him to that discussion, but he had plenty of opportunities to talk about other candidates and he barely mentioned them.

I felt the exact same way MAV.

I still like our chances of getting a DT especially if we can trade down a few spots. I'm hoping Buffalo will make an offer. I just don't see that many people honestly enamoured with Gabbert. Those who are just seem more gun-shy of Newton. Come on BILLS!!!!

only reason buffalo would trade up with us is if someone worked out a trade with denver before the draft and announced it, which isn't going to happen.

Doesn't actually have to happen. Someone could leak word that it's going to happen, even if it isn't.

There's a fair number of "dirty tricks" like that played on draft day.

      Is McMillan getting ROTY or is Shough / Henderson going to get it?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      If Henderson just got a concussion and will possibly/probably now miss next week as well, gotta think missing 2 games of stats at this point of the year might knock him out as he was only just entering the discussion the last few weeks anyways.  Same goes for Judkins going down today too, and Dart's god awful game likely removes him from the conversation as well. It will be interesting to see how the voters compare T-Mac and Egbuka if they end up with stats that are nearly identical. Egbuka burst onto the scene and put up the bulk of his stats early in the year when Baker was playing like the MVP front runner.  While T-Mac was just more consistent throughout the course of the full season (ex. Egbuka has 8 games of 42 yards or less, T-Mac has 4 of them, while T-Mac still scored 3 TDs in those 4 games, where Egbuka only scored 1 TD in his 8). It would be a shame if they put too much weight on the final game of the season if that ends up being the division decider, as I think T-Mac has had the better SEASON while Egbuka had a better peak output during that first month or so but way cooled off since. Maybe Warren goes off in the last 3 games (they still play tomorrow), but it does seem to be down to T-Mac and Egbuka right now.

      Mitchell Evan’s put a block on someone that he drove them all the way out of bounds and to the bench. He absolutely destroyed the guy. He’s gonna be a beast for us if he keeps that up.
