Maybe, just maybe it was all lying season and smokescreens. And they wanted Maye all along unless they got an absolute haul of picks. Its gamesmanship.
the only information they got was that the Giants and Vikings were willing to trade picks for him.

We clearly wanted Maye. JJ was a smokescreen. Not sure how the deal with NE was on and then off again, but once they took Maye, there was no reason to trade up with AZ.
This is consistent with Schoen's history of targeting specific players and not position groups.
