I dunno, but I think we (Smith that is) were part lucky and part cute. The thing is, Smith finessed it a bit when he moved back to get the extra picks and he was also lucky it wasn't the 'Bolts jumping ahead of us to grab Brown instead of the Cowboys doing so to grab the CB.

I think most teams had us going CB in the first due to their idea of need. Might be the reason the bolts stayed put.
