That was my point of view. Nothing Foster, Payton, nor Loomis said makes real sense
quote:So either they decided to vet Foster at the last minute (a potential top 10 pick) /or/ they were trolling the team to pick #31 just cuz...
they started to consider Foster as a possible pick last minute because the value was extreme but then wanted to see if they could find a reason not to take him.
or
They never wanted Foster and created a perceived want possibly knowing SF would have taken him extremely high.
You can't be serious.

According to everyone they were vetting him at the last minute, but no one knows what they were vetting.
And that's exactly why I don't believe that's what happened.
Now answer my questions you keep avoiding.
Edit:
And the narratives weren't really competing at all. Foster said he was on the phone with the Saints when SF called. Now we know they were talking to his girlfriend on the other line.
Payton said he ended the conversation and said they'd be in touch if they were picking him.
All of that screams smokescreen (not just the last few lines but everything as a whole). And if you don't think shite like this goes down constantly at the draft then you are very naive and have never read any real draft stories.
There is seriously crazy and dirty shite going down, from a team spreading rumors to a paper about a player's drug problems (which were completely fabricated) to teams getting players arrested to teams leaking stories just before the draft (those Mixon stories came from some team digging and leaking them after they had chance to vet first for instance) to teams leaking false medical info to all kinds of other crazy shite.
Yet you have a hard time believing a team would try to create panic to cause a team to trade up? Naive as frick.
And I'm not saying 100% that's what happened. I'm saying to think that stuff doesn't happen is having the wool pulled over your eyes.
