I couldn't agree less.  Sounds to me like Red is ackowledging that this was 
his pick; he says he liked Forte and pushed for him.  No one knew about 
Parker, so the consensus was to go with Red's pick.  The only way I see this 
as Red "covering his ass" is if the claim is being made by someone that the 
BDT turned to Red and said, "Red, we have the 21 pick coming up.  Obie and 
Wallace and Leo and ThanksDad are going to go get a burger, so you decide who 
we'll get; no need to discuss it with anyone else."
