Jeff Ireland says Dolphins drafting defense?

Miami Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland may (or may not) have tipped the team's hand yesterday.

Ireland, while speaking with reporters, said "Of course I want guys that have great upside... This is the first pick in the draft. This guy is going to be—you hope that he’s a pillar of your defense for a long time."

When a reported pointed out what he said, his face reportedly turned red and he said, "Pillar of your defense, or offense, or team... That’s a Freudian slip." He also later hinted that the slip may not have been a slip at all, but rather an intentional smokescreen.

So, do you think he messed up, or is he just playing us?

Looks like it meant nothing afterall.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear some teams hire private detectives to tail some team officials around this time of year.

Yep, definite subterfuge. You've got to wonder why, though. I mean, if they knew they wanted Long, and a deal was that close, why play games?
