You have the war room with a bunch of scouts (or one if you're the Bengals), a coach or two, the GM and director of player personnel, maybe the owner etc. The general protocol seems to involve throwing out 5-6 names when it's about 10 picks away from yours, and then narrowing that down to like 3 when it's only a couple away. If it was as simple as a team targeting the best available 3-4 OLB at their next pick, I don't think they'd skip him, but if you have a handful of guys at various positions who are all regarded about equally I can easily see him being in that group of 5-6 a bunch of times and teams going with the other guy because they don't want to deal with any extra media work/distraction.
