Hurney on WFNZ @ 8:15 am today

[vorbis]

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.

[CarolinaVeins]

It seems like Hurney a couple of times mentions QB without really being asked

[CatMan72]

He also seemed to get a little defensive of Cam when responding to the criticisms in the Nawrocki scouting report.

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!!!!

[teeray]

Bills aren't trading. They aren't even convinced they are going QB and if theu are they really like bot guys.

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.

Moving up 2 spots isnt worth giving away the #3 second round pick anyway.

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.
