Sorry, I had to step out for a minute and I missed it.

Yes because we all know BB is terrible at gaining picks when he needs to

One of the reasons you stockpile draft picks is so you can move them for veterans. Chances of a 5th rounder being as good as Alex Smith (for example) are very slim. In this case, Smith didn't work out obviously, but it's still a good risk to take

In the official morning Globe, the same quote was reported. However, Reiss reported it as a professional statement. In this version, he comments on Walter's emotions:

He chose not to comment on that in the Globe. That's a shame.

Check the author of the blog post.

Reiss has it as confirmed by his agent.

Also interesting that this was done prior to completing a trade, should that be in the plans. You'd sort of think the addition would precede the subtraction.
