Re: Every team passed on him
To go along with that, there was also an unexpectedly large run on OT (and QB as well) in R1 - there were a number of offensive players that got taken quite a bit earlier than expected (Morgan being one, also a couple of the QBs weren't predicted to go in R1). Then, once the Edges started going, there was kind of a run on those guys as well. So DB's as a whole were kind of the odd man out. Just the way the draft fell. I suspect you'd have made a LOT of money if you had bet that the first CB wouldn't go off the board until pick 24. A pretty big run on DB in round 2 (including DeJean of course) would not surprise me at all.
