He never moved anywhere. Dinosaur teams didn't like him because he wasn't PRO STYLE!! and the teams who understood what he was were always going to take him high in the draft. KC mentioned they liked him for years.
All that happened was the industry draft talk guys realized their assessments were too low.

Yeah - guys don't 'move up' boards.
Sometimes a talking head gets a tip about where the player always was. Sometimes it's just a smokescreen.
But these guys set their boards weeks before the draft, months usually. They're 90% done after the medicals and a little extra film review made necessary by some combine results that suggest a player could be a little better or worse than you thought (so you go re-analyze his film).
But his idea that teams are just out there moving guys up and down their draft boards 72 hours prior to the pick is silly, absent an instagram photo of you getting high in a gas mask a week before the draft. There hasn't been anything new to learn in weeks. These boards are set.
"Moving up boards" is the most annoying thing these guys ever say.
