Yeah, it seems like the football media routinely exaggerates the draft status of two sport guys. Probably not surprising--it's not like there's a well-developed baseball draft complex dominating all media, which gives you room for imagination.

To read the scribes talk about Winston in January, you'd think he was a potential first round MLB pick.  Even a bunch of Stanford fans seemed concerned Gaffney and Hoffpauir would be drafted high and not stay with/join football.  All that looks silly now. 

At least if football doesn't work out for Winston, he'll always have that MLB career to fall back on :)
