What does Urban know? I doubt Graves or anyone else in the know let him in on who wanted what in last year's draft. Maybe he heard it from Jurecki.
I have no idea, it was in his story on Qb's and it was actually a couple of weeks ago not last week. I forget the precise wording but he said it was well known that the Cards were going to draft a QB before they hired Green, and word was the guy they liked, was Roethlisberger.
That's nothing new, Graves said more than once last year there were major concerns with Josh. And remember WELL before the draft Rich Eisen came out on NFL network and said "we hear the Cards are very enamored with Ben Roethlisberger", pretty sure that was pre Dennis Green. Jeff Gollin posted that it's still on the azcardinal.com site in the rumors section.
Before we hired Green virtually everyone expected us to take a QB and at that time the thought was Manning goes first, the Raiders take Fitzgerald(at that time he was their guy) and we take Ben.
You have to remember, pre Green the Cards were much more open with the media, not exactly far fetched to believe that someone told Urban they wanted a QB.
