There are always players who get first round publicity and still fall farther than some expect.
In Arizona, they have a bunch of them:
Anquan Boldin - slow 40 time dropped him from a 1st rounder to the 54th pick
Early Doucet - was projected to be a late first rounder and ended up getting picked in the 3rd
Calais Campbell - Was a 6'8" freak coming out of Miami but had a poor combine and pro day and slipped to #50
Karlos Dansby - Was projected to go in the late 1st but slipped to the #33 pick
Darnell Dockett - Also projected as a 1st rounder before going at pick #64
There's always players that fall below where they were projected or rated: Vince Wilfork, Big Ben...Maclin fell last year thanks to Oakland's screw up, Maualuga was considered a steal in the 2nd by more than a few thanks to a bad combine, Everette Brown dropped last year, Connor Barwin was considered a fringe 1st by a lot, Michael Johnson dropped to the third.
