I feel that the mock draft histories from DX that you've graciously made me aware of seem to undermine your earlier point:

Noel and Shabazz have been the top 2 since Noel reclassified; Noel started the season #1 but has now dropped to #2 behind Shabazz - in contrast, Davis was the #1 coming into the season and was never close to letting it go, whereas DX never had Rivers higher than 8th and he was already hovering around 15 by this time last year, where he would spend most of the season.
