Ten minute limit plays no part. I promise you, BB and Pioli have already discussed and agreed on terms for a trade up to #11, contingent on the right player being there. What's more, I'm pretty sure BB feels good about the terms, or he would never have bothered to invite Melvin Ingram to Foxboro.
I'm pretty sure a deal for 27 + 63 + Hoyer (or a variation) is on ready-hold, just waiting for a final thumbs up from both parties. With the rigth pre-work, that conversation could easily be consummated in 10 minutes.
"My guy is still there. You still good on that deal?"
"Hold one sec, taking another call... Okay, deal is good. Confirm 11 for 27, 63 and Hoyer"
"Confirmed"
"We'll send the card up right now"
Agree with you on the deal being set up before the draft. The problem with including Hoyer in that trade is that you are effectively giving him a late-second round grade and I don't think teams will value him anywhere near that high:
11 = 1250 pts
27 = 680 pts
62 = 284 pts
difference = 286 pts.
