But now, most teams have their draft boards set already. Tell me, if Talib was your team's number one rated CB in the entire draft, that is to say, that his football skill graded out higher than every other CB in the draft, wouldn't you still pick him when you were on the clock, even now? Same with Manningham.

You think? I'm not so sure those draft boards are written in stone and I'm not sure why boards are more difficult to change in April than in February or March. It would be one thing if the news broke on the eve of the draft, but teams still have 2 more weeks to evaluate the players and adjust their boards accordingly.
