Also, the NCAA allowed players an additional year of eligibility which also thinned the pool of players opting for that draft.

Fair points, however as it relates to Meinerz, Rick had the same platform as the rest of the league to view him the week of the Senior Bowl. Taking Davis was a big whiff

True, but keep in mind Meinerz went to DIII UW-Whitewater, whatever the hell that is, where he faced off against stalwart defensive linemen from the likes of John Carroll U, whatever the hell that is.

He did prove he could play at the Senior Bowl, but Davis was a 5-star recruit who went to Ohio State, where he was a unanimous All American, and whose grandfather is in the NFL Hall of Fame. No clue why he didn't work out. But sometimes it just doesn't make sense.

I remember watching Davis specifically during some Ohio State games and he just looked small to me and didnt dominate like the hype led you to believe. Pretty amazing how badly Davis, Surratt, and Mond fizzled out.
