I've seen him projected as high as #6, but it's pick 26 and he's still out there and no word of why he's falling. Did something come out about him recently that I missed?

KC should have taken him.

Questionable motor and work ethic.

He slipped way before this week. He slipped after his pro day where he looked out of shape and lazy.

I was just googling to see if I missed his pick when he was on Kipers list. I hope he slides to the lions at 34.

I agree, Branch will be a better defensive lineman than Brady Quinn.
I don't buy it. How can someone drop from a sure fire Top 10 pick to not even be mentioned in the first 1 1/2 rounds.
Here's an article written on March 19, 2007 .link. Are you telling me in a little over a month, he dropped from a Top 10 pick to at least mid 2nd round, maybe even further! And all 32 teams have a consensus opinion? And Kiper has a hand hold in all of this?!?
Someone please explain...

He didn't show much "fire" at his pro day and I read that he was out of shape. Put that together and it says bust and beware. So he falls. Maybe this will be a wakeup call.
I read something that he's rumored to have leg problems. Some teams think its shin splints and others think its stress fractures. Either way, that could be a big reason why a guy that size falls in the draft. Leg problems tend to linger when you're a mammoth.
Googled and found a few hits. Here's one:

ETA: ATC1 beat me to it.

good move. he wasn't getting past detroit. That's why detroit traded down (buff polusjahjhjhjkhaghjghjny)
Here's a disconnect.
During Branch's commentary, Kiper says, "...he had been sliding. To the point where you think maybe late first round. Now here he is the first pick of the second round."
But as documented in the previous post, he didn't make it to Kiper's top 1 1/2 round projections.

Arizona must like Michigan defensive lineman with questionable work ethics.
