May be purely coincidence, but it does seem teams jumped us for players we were considering.

#11 - Considering Mahomes, Chiefs trade to 10 and select him.
#32 - Considering Foster, 49ers trade to 31 and select him.
#42 - Considering Cook (rumor?), Vikings trade to 41 and select him.
#76 - Considering Riley, Falcons trade down to 75 and select him.

I hope it was intentionally leaked to keep Sean from drafting this dude at 11.

I think KC's move was more to get ahead of Cleveland (12) and Arizona (13) than New Orleans. KC probably knew the Saints MAY have been interested, but Cle and AZ definitely were. You have to remember, it takes to parties two trade. Maybe the price to get anywhere above #10 was just too high for KC. Maybe they tried to trade with the Saints at 11.

#32 is a bit different. Once a top LB fell I think every team had to believe someone wasn't going to let him get too far and the Saints seemed like a good candidate to be that team. The bigger evidence of a potential "leak" to me is Cleveland trading up 4 spots to take the TE out of Miami. Maybe they were worried Pittsburgh would take him, but the consensus was Pitt was going defense and I doubt anyone thought the Seahawks would be taking a TE. So that leaves only one team left to beat out, the Saints. Otherwise, Cleveland could have just stayed at #33 and taken him.

Yes, but I think it worked out in our favor....
The only disappointment was missing on Duke Riley...
