I remember when Daniel Jeremiah (sp?) had his blog up that year and about a month before the draft removed Clausen from the first round and the drafturbators went into a "that's why he's an ex-scout" mode. He said teams and real scouts didn't view him as a 1st round pick.
Remember, the draft is for entertainment now. Multiple nights of primetime tv, etc. The networks want controversy, they want debate, they love it when a prospect falls and the player sits in Radio City for hours.
If the Rams didn't have Bradford the networks would be beside themselves because the #1 and #2 spots would be set in stone and they'd have to find something else to hype up over the next month. Maybe build up Tannehill or Osweiler. Just because the analysts are saying something doesn't mean they believe it or know it to be true - ratings.
