It was Eric the pff guy.  He controlled a lot of our draft this year.  He has stated before you give up picks to trade up for QB specifically, any other positions you do pick swaps.

That's really great to hear and would explain the wonderful construction of the trade itself. We moved back in rounds 3,4,5 and moved up in round 6. Clearly we believed there was depth in talent and going back a few spots would not be a big deal. Not enough is being made about this specific trade. You may see more trades like this one next year.

Think we absolutely nailed our pick. This isn’t the first we’ve seen about teams wanting him, either. 

I also heard TB was zeroing in on him. Perfect replacement for the future HOFer Mike Evans.

Even beyond this place, the entire world was convinced it was Walker.

The day of the draft I was listening to a radio show and they were talking about how unpredictable this draft was going to be, that nobody really knew what was going to happen and that anyone betting on the draft was dumb and throwing their money away.

At the end of the segment the guy said something like, "well, everything we just talked about is true, but if anyone wants some free money tonight, there is one guaranteed surefire pick, go put your bets in right now, Jalon Walker is 100% going 8th to the Panthers."

lesson here (imo) is that anytime someone tells you a bet on the board in Vegas is a 100% lock, run far away. somebody is betting the other side of that and wants your money.
