No I'm not. I will explain this one more time in one place so that it is not spread out in hopes that you understand but I doubt it since you seem very close minded.

I brought up Tim Tebow as an example a player that was taken way before most mock drafts had him going. He was picked 25th in the 1st round by the Broncos when most mocks had him going in the 3rd round. There are more examples of reaching for players but Tebow is one the more recent & most talked players that was reached for in the draft.

I brought up mock drafts because most mocks have Benjamin going late in the 1st or early in the 2nd & that seems to be what everyone is assuming. What if a team has him higher on their board then these mocks do? This type of stuff happens every year. What's so hard to believe that one team could have a 6'5 240 lbs receiver in their top 10-15 or possibly in their in top 10 when other teams may not? One team could possibly have Benjamin rated higher then Evans at receiver.

If said team was currently outside of picking in those areas but was looking to trade up, wouldn't that team want to do whatever possible to keep Benjamin on the board so that they could make their move? That's where the sabotage theory comes into play. There was just an article just a few weeks back about how Ryan Leaf & his agent sabotaged a workout with Jim Mora & the Colts. No one can say these things don't happen.

I never said it was a definite but anyone with logic would agree it could be a possibility. To say his agent would be stupid to agree to something like this is shortsighted. If that team looking to move up is passing team where Benjamin could put up big numbers before heading into his second contract then yes it would be in his best interest to listen, hypothetically speaking, of course.
