Tunsil = Fairley?

OK, I know this is a bit of a stretch, but I couldn't help thinking about Nick Fairley when I watched the draft unfold yesterday. Lineman, dominant in college, projected early in the draft cycle to go first overall, character/health questions pop up late causing a tumble down to the 13th pick. I know many of us wanted Tunsil (myself included), and it's not entirely fair to call Fairley a bust (he was productive when healthy, which is more than you can say for a lot of mid first round picks). But I think framing the fall of Tunsil in this light makes me feel much more comfortable with the fact that he didn't slip to the Lions (or that they didn't trade up to get him). Just a little day-after rationalization to help me rest easier.
