Anyone who watchs ESPN.. knows who this is.. This is ESPN's very own Mel Kiper Jr.. Self proclaimed college draft expert.. Riiiight!!! We will get to that in a second.. The reason I am bringing this post to light today is because a buddy of mine sent me a question Mel was asked on his webpage.. Anthony (NYC): Mel with the Senior Bowl and the combines coming up does that give Troy Smith a chance raise his stock up again after his performance on Monday.
Mel Kiper: (1:26 PM ET ) It does, and the game did not fall solely on Troy Smith, their O line must take a lot of blame. i think that effected Smith a lot, and that lack of ideal height showed up. And his longer delivery showed up when the heat was put on by the Florida D. So now I think he may drop to the 3rd or 4th round. Remember he did not have a super high grade going into this game. So yes he needs to reestablish himself before the draft.
Wow Mel.. thats kinda vague dont you think?? But of course with your vague draft board.. you can still save face in the eyes of your ESPN coworkers.. Wouldnt want anyone to figure out your full of crap.. I think my biggest problem with Kiper.. is that he blasts on teams who dont take his scouting on a player.. My buddy that brought this to my attention, also brought up this intresting point..
-All you need to know about mel kiper is 2 years ago when he yelled for 2 straight months about how mike williams was the best player in the draft, and after every pick (until #10) he said how teams were stupid for passing on him. 2 years later he is on the verge of being cut (BY DETROIT!!!) and has 2 career touchdowns.... great talent evaluation mel...
We in Dallas know where to go when we want the truth about the draft.. Rick "Goose" Gosselin...
Here are someother links for your reading pleasure.. to support this theory.. that Mel Kiper is full of it.. :)
