He was so irrelevant he was replaced ...

With the opening of free agency, the NFL offseason is in high gear and draft boards have been shifted as a result of this week's player movement (not to mention the completion of the Scouting Combine). For example, does the Lions signing of DE Kyle Vanden Bosch and trade for DT Corey Williams mean they are thinking offensive tackle with the number two pick?
