I think it is largely a positional issue. If you're picking in the top ten and you don't get Chris Long, you've still got a shot at Vernon Gholston, right? Then there are Harvey and Merlin, Campbell, Groves, and Jackson all likely to be gone by the first half of the second round. If you want a pass rushing defensive tackle, you've got Dorsey and Ellis, then maybe Sims in the second or Fluellen in the third. Kind of a steep drop-off.

What if the teams are the Falcons, Patriots, and Saints who want a DT. Ellis should be availbe to at least a couple of these teams. If the Falcons move up for Dorsey then they most have Dorsey rate very high or Ellis very low.
