Then at 22, no one could convince me he wouldn't be there at 37. Only people who need a starter this year are going to trade up to get him. No one needs a starter. Panic move, they missed out on Kendall Wright who they thought they would get and didn't know what to do. That's the only explanation. Otherwise why do you tell Colt McCoy you aren't going to take a QB? To make him feel better for the 3 hours during the draft?
Why would they tell him that....thats a good question.
Even if it wasn't at 22 it seems fairly obvious to me that their intent was to draft him, just at 37 and not 22. They wanted that information out there I guess.
I think there is a little more to this than Panic buttons being pressed, not that I care all that much.
The truth is that these guys are probably all going to get fired or save their asses based on the success or lack of success of one Mr Brandon Weeden, panic or no.
Its an interesting hand they just went all in on.

"I won’t tell you exactly what it’s about, but this is typical of what might happen,'' he said. "I said, ‘Tom, do you want to do this?’ He said, ‘I don’t think I do. I think it’s too much or too strong or whatever.’ I said, ‘well, we might have to.’ And he goes, ‘well, if we have to, then you’ve got to tell me, because I won’t do it.’ And I said, ‘OK, then I might have to tell you. Fine.'''
