If all teams are offering draft picks it's really hard to assume any team would take a worse offer. Just doesn't make sense and I think this is just more media slant to make Gruden look bad. I'm no Gruden fan but it's hard to imagine he said; "
Team X is clearly offering us better picks but we are going to take deal Y with worse picks".
