Part of the problem I read in an article over the off season, is that the people deciding who to draft and whatnot are very much influenced by popular opinion. They don't want to risk too much by going against what everyone is saying. So if everyone is saying this guy should go first or second, they generally do, because if a team does something different and it comes back to bite them, some one has to pay.
Just look at Oakland's pick with wide receiver. I think most people were surprised with who they picked over Crabtree and everyone is using it as proof that Al Davis is a kook. They will point out every drop that kid has this year. In fact you already hear about drops in PRACTICE that he has had.
