I think your correct, if you were paying attention. Some of us were and others, who don't post regularly or read the posts regularly, probably had no idea.
As far as Petrie keeping everything close to the vest. He does! Or at least he tries. Much easier for him to do with a trade though than it is with a draft pick. There are a lot more people involved in the draft process than in a trade. In a trade Petrie doesn't need to talk to anyone but the Maloof's, and possibly Westphal. Thats a pretty small group and it would be easy to figure out who leaked.
But with the draft its a lot more difficult. Reynolds, and the entire scouting dept are involved. All it would take is for a scout to tell his wife who tells a friend and wa la you have a leak. I might add that leaks at this time of the year are fairly useless anyway. There's so much BS being spread around, there's no way to tell the truth from the fairy tales.
