There are tweets saying that jets were trying to go for Rome based off of flight 24. Nothing that was provided backs that at all. People freaking annoy me.
Regardless, I do think we wanted Rome. Editors didn’t provide any of that footage.
The ‘freak, let me call you back’ followed by a grin was definitely a ploy by JD to stall out the person on the line and try to get more (likely the Vikes, Raiders, or Saints).
I don’t know if there truly was a bidding war for 10, so to get the vikings to give up more picks to move up if so was very well done by JD. He says ‘I mean, if Vegas or New Orleans were about it’, meaning they didn’t seem serious about a trade.
He was on the phone with another team at pick 11 and he told them ‘I think we’re good, let me call this pick in, good luck’. Maybe he was trying to trade back again even from 11
