News: CW: ESPN's Mel Kiper says Cowboys' draft class on the NFL's worst, 'too many unknowns'

[Risen Star]

The players are "unknowns" to Mel because he doesn't watch film anymore. The guy's retired and comes back for the draft and pretends he's still doing it.

Whatever fantasy land you need to live in to feel better about it.

Mel “Hyper” Kiper is vastly overrated. He maybe right, may not. No one- not a soul on this planet knows whether or not this is a great draft or not. Check back in a couple of years.

I believe in giving all these players the chance to prove themselves before criticizing. The front office is another story. After the last 26 years, they have no benefit of the doubt. Especially since none of the guys named Jones ever admit that they are the problem.

^This. Lets see what happens in camp and beyond.

Doug Cosbie played at Santa Clara

My bad. Damn...

Yup...nobody knows anything other than directional analysis based on college production.

Hoping we get 3 starters out of this group

Funny, Ferguson looks slowish, but catches everything and always " open" ...Yet Mel Kiper thinks hes meh... I like this kid. He's an old school in line guy that is well rounded. Do ya'll remember Doug Cosby? He's basically HIM. Go watch his old tape. BTW..Cosby played in the Big Ten as well(Ohio State).

he's a throwback.

Doug Cosbie played at Santa Clara

at any rate. He remind me of him.

The 2nd round pick was a Dan Quinn special. What does he know

DQ is a mad scientist. I trust the guy 2 make these guys maximize their skills.

This means that the cowboys did well. Not sure why anyone listens to anything this goon has to say other than to get trolling links

You are the one in fantasy land if you think your hero is watching film.

Mel sits in a cubicle sniffing his own farts and sniffin glue while his underlings tell him how great he is.

great ?

Why watch ESPN?

Because their draft coverage is ten times better than the crap on NFLN.

That and I'm an adult.

We will know if he is right in about 2 years, but I do agree with him as a first take. IMO, Tyler Smith is 50% of this draft. If he works out as the Cowboys expect, then this draft improves tremendously. If he is a penalty machine like he was in college then he is a bust and so is this draft.

I am not sure why he thinks Sam Williams was a 3rd round pick? Most analyses I have seen of him is that he would have been a first if not for the off field issues he had a couple of years ago. And he was drafted late 2nd so the Cowboys were not that far off in their selection even by Kiper's standards.

Bit in the end, I would give Dallas a C for this draft too just based on the players they took. But as I have been saying, they kind of boxed themselves into their first pick when they did nothing in free agency to fix the LG spot.

 

[WillieBeamen]

OF COURSE you do.

Whats the problem with that, Kenneth?

 

[mrmojo]

Say what you want about Mel but he's made a lucrative career at throwing darts..

 

[Rayman70]

actually espns draft coverage was messaging and hype. nfl network was better, not great. The best coverage was actually on DC.COM and the draft show. I watched that mostly.
