Do you get how cheap that is? We don't want to pay the guy we want top 10 money - so we'll let the clock run out and have other teams race to the podium to get their picks in ahead of us... and we'll take our guy several picks later so we can sign him for less.

What? They tried to trade down and ran out of time because they waited too long to secure a trade. It wasn't because they were cheap. Teams trade down in the draft all the time.
