Anyone else noticing this trend?

I think it's the JaMarcus effect.
I think teams are starting to put a lot bigger premium on character and how they feel a player will conduct himself and work once he does start earning a NFL pay cheque. I think a few teams have taken notice that the teams drafting top 5 tend to be ending up back there over and over, and often there are bust first round picks making big bucks on those teams.
