Reaching for Polk would indicate there is some truth to this/

On a side note, it's going to be ironic if down the road Legette becomes the real stud of the class and the trade with Carolina ends up being worse than the one with KC.

It is a possibility. The only real knock on Legette is he only performed at a high level for 1 year. But he could just be a late bloomer.

I think Dan Morgan knows Beane well enough to know that if he was willing to trade back from 28 to 32 then he didn't have any 1st round grades left, and would more than likely be willing to trade out of 32 again. So in order to not get jumped and secure Legette, Morgan made an easy offer to Beane that allowed both of them to still be in control of who they want. I'm sure Beane told Morgan he needed to know first who his guy was and in that scenario Carolina has nothing to lose by sharing the player.

It's similar to last year when Beane traded up with Jax for Kincaid. The Jags GM wanted whatever O-lineman they ended up with so the Jags GM told Beane "you need to tell me if you're going big or small." Beane said "Medium" and the Jags GM said "you're taking a TE aren't you?" and Beane said "yeah". So the Jags made the trade because they felt good about still getting their guy, but they weren't going to budge unless Beane shared that info.

1 year wonder .... not worth the 1st round gamble for most GM's.
