"Had they been able to get ahead of Cincinnati, Dalton very well could have been the pick. They were unable to do so, and, according to league sources, at that point felt like they had to leapfrog Washington to be certain they could get Kaepernick."

Learn to read between the lines. "Dalton very well could have been the pick."
Not Dalton WOULD have been the pick. but could have, which you can say for ANY player. That's when a guy starts to ad-lib and La Canfora is notorious for that, why anyone still takes him seriously after the whole Harbaugh hiring debacle is beyond me.
