The sham I was refering to wasn't your post. I fully believe it was authentic

I knew, but had forgotten that the pack had those three 7th rounders that year. In that case, it was definitely a stupid move. As I said, I can see a GM giving up next year's 6th rounder to prevent having to bid for a player in this year's UFA market. But that would be if you were out of picks, and were surprised to see someone still on the board. If you've still got picks, but someone else decides to burn one on him *shrug*

If he really, really had a bee in his bonnet that someone was going to grab him, and he thought he was a gamer, I would think Philly would've been more than happy with #256 and 257 for #245.
