We were literally number 11 that year. KC moved up to #10. Ended up with Lattimore so it still worked out for us in the end. He said he wasn't making it past 12.
Again, not once did he say he did not want to go to the Saints.
"Making it past 12."
To remind you who held the #10 and #12 picks...
#10: The Bills, rumors were they were considering a QB.
#11: The Saints, who everyone expected to draft defensively after Brees had a 5208 passing yard, 37 touchdown season, but was let down by the defense.
#12: The Texans, who were 100% absolutely positively going to take a QB.
