Beam Me Up Outa Here!
Goes on rant that front office executives do not know how to evaluate quarterbacks after he slipped to the 5th round. The last time I remember him doing the same was when the fins had the audacity to pass on Brady Quinn. How did that one work out?
 
It's 2025. Mel Kiper needs to hang it up. If ESPN do buy NFL Network and they combine the draft coverage, ESPN should force Mel to step aside and hand the keys to Daniel Jeremiah.

And no offense to Field Yates he seems like a decent guy but he has no business being one of the main draft analysts. He has no conviction in his assesment on players and is too afraid to disagree with Mel.

You're reminding me of one of the main reasons that I don't take draft prognosticators seriously anymore and don't bother reading what they have to say.

I find them interesting but not convincing. Also, if the GMs obviously disagree with their rankings, some (especially Kiper) are too sensitive about it.

I’d rather take Krabbs over those guys any day
 
I don't need to evoke Bill Tobin, do I? That was 1994, and it applies to Mel Kiper as much today as it did then.


With regards to draftniks themselves, I think we are talking about people that have one of the world's most useless jobs. They make guesses about football players. There is no accountability or responsibility in what they do. When was the last time Mel Kiper aced a draft? Never. And--God help us--he's still here.

to be fair, his job isn't to 'ace the draft', it's to get attention. He's done that.

Yates is a lifetime fantasy guy that they switched to draft guy a few years ago, he’s pretty clueless as are most of the espn guys.

The best thing espn could do is go back to running sports highlights in 30 minute intervals. Fire every other host and analyst and let Pat McAfee run the rest.
