I think the vast majority of folks had backed off that a bit by the end of the combine, etc...
Remember, the Geno bandwagon was picking up steam in like November of that season. It probably peaked in January and then fell off. The duration of the Geno love-affair makes many forget that there were very few strong Geno supporters when draft season finally got here.
I was on board with the Fisher move by the time the draft got here. The one guy I absolutely did NOT want was Luke Joeckel. He got mocked to us so many times and I absolutely hated that idea. He was just so limited.
