Sorry, Smash, but I must have missed where Payton has lobbied on potential draft compensation. When and where was that? He mentioned what Loomis had already shared with others about compensation (one mid to late round 1st plus) but I haven't seen anything else.

The Davis trade was completely different in that the player had to go where traded. He didn't have the choice. In the case of Payton, he makes the decision where he wants to go.
