They saw his combine number and started to look at him and saw a guy with A LOT of injuries.
"There are some teams that have pushed him either down their boards or off their boards because of injuries," Mayock said. "He's had surgery on his shoulder, he's had surgery on both knees, and he's got a small frame. So the durability is a big issue with him right now."

This from a team that drafted Ced after he just had major surgery. Not many teams do that repeatedly.
Some teams dropping or even taking him off their boards isn't even a majority. Every team's board is different. Teams also spread misinformation hoping to get guys to fall.
The same guy you're citing also had Ross as his #2 WR right before the draft.
