Any stories about so-and-so climbing up are either planted by teams who want to see them taken earlier so their guy falls, or by members of the media who are just now figuring out that they were rated that highly all along.

I think you could argue that this year the climbs are more real than normal. It's been reported that wiithout the typical smorgasbord of pro days to travel to and parade of official visits rolling through front offices are watching A LOT more tape this pre draft. Guys moving up is based on actual on field play instead of what someone did in their underwear or how smooth they talk in an interview.
