not meant to be a flame; just curious-
you take Chase Thomas' credentials and compare them to Manti Te'o's, and you get what seems to be very similar reviews: not the most physically gifted, but supposedly smart, high motor, leadership type guys, who make up in hustle what they lack in genetics. Both were All Americans at some point in their careers, both were leaders of strong defenses (statistically), both played large roles in their teams' excellent seasons.
One flakes out and it's an upset that he drops into the 2nd round, worthy of continued media investigation.
The other guy just vanishes this weekend, almost as though a computer virus deleted his name from the draft boards, and we hear nary a peep. What gives?
Were they just that worried with the QBs and RBs dropping that everyone missed this?

One went to Notre Dame and got overrated as per the norm with anyone there that shows a smidgen of potential.
