No, it wouldn't have changed a thing IMO.
As you cans see, no NFL team took that test score seriously.

Interesting point, but no

Let's assume they did leak it, how did the leak change the draft order or his draft stock?

Doesn't all the other NFL teams know the scores anyway? What would the Cowboys gain by doing this if they intended to draft him?

It's another thing for the teams' fans and the media to know the scores and know their teams disregard them. Then if the kid doesn't pan out the owner and GM are pegged as irresponsible for drafting a kid who is (rightly or wrongly) perceived as unintelligent.

Exactly. Any NFL team looking to draft him knew his score. Doesn't matter what you and I know, the teams know a TON more.
Leaking his score did not drop him, if his score did drop him it was simply because of his score, not because the media knew about it.

The QB position is the only time teams really look at the wonderlic....this is straight from the mouth of several scouts

Dumb speculation.

i don't think he dropped at all. The vikings were looking for a trade to get draft picks. they knew other teams wanted him, so they lied to entice.

I don't think the Cowboys could have thought Wonderlic or not that Claiborne would have still been around at #6

Basically you're asking if they leaked something everyone knew, in order to keep anyone else from drafting him.
It would make a lot more sense for a team with a much lower pick to leak it, hoping there would be a public reaction, and maybe he would fall to them.
