Do you honestly believe that had Scott Pioli been in Oakland's position - where a guy he had rated as a very late round prospect was supposedly in danger of being taken in the 2nd round - that he would have completely ignored not only his draft board, but the value that goes with a 2nd round pick, all because Chicago might take him 4-5 rounds early?
No.
Way.
In.
Hell.

Who says Oakland ignored their draft board? It is possible that NFL teams actually disagree with Mayock and Kiper (and thus 99% of all the other internet gurus who copy them). It is possible that 2 NFL teams had him rated as a 2nd round talent.
