“I think he’ll have a Seneca Wallace-type career where you can bring him off the bench and he’ll add a spark.”
Kiper on Russell Wilson.

At the end of the day Kiper has been doing this since way before the internet, out of his house on his own dime. The guy pretty much made a career out of something that we all love. Mel Kiper started this whole draft extravaganza for the most part. Props to Kiper…

You think it was? One example in all of these years . Yea, they’re total idiots. I’m trusting anonymous fans on a forum instead.

They're actors. There for our entertainment. You think because someone is on TV he's an expert? Scouts don't even get it right all the time.

The guy is hardly worth a comment, he will try and come up with anything to try and justify his wisdom, his statement's last year that Micah wasn't a #7 pick is one of many he got wrong, that's why he is on ESP-N

I’m only saying most of them are better experts than most fans on an anonymous forum.

And Mel isn’t an actor. He’s the ultimate draft guru. No one else on TV has researched it as well as him. It doesn’t mean he gets picks or scouted talent right, it means he’s identified who’s all fits needs for teams and players who will probably be selected.

I bet he was closer to the 264 players selected overall in draft than most would be. Most fans could do maybe the first round but not all the way thru.

They're more informed. That's their job. But I really don't take any of these analysts seriously. They just don't have a great track record. Don't get me wrong, I completely suck at it. But I hear them say certain things where I just shake my head, then I end up being right. I think analyst is a better way to describe them. Never use the word expert for these guys.

I agree. They are analyst . And more informed than most fans.

Mel Kiper is an expert . No one knows the draft better than him. That doesn’t mean he knows where they are going or he had correct instinct on their abilities and talent. He’s not a talent scout. He just has researched the players. No one can keep up with him in that regard. He lives and breathes it 365. It’s insane.

So does this mean we're getting closer to figuring out NE's secret?

You wouldn’t be saying that if he loved our draft and gave us high grades. lol One fan referred to Kiper as a tool because he was critical of a couple of our picks. All these draft experts get ripped unless they have glowing reviews of our picks. I’m sure you’re all on board with CBS considering their take on our draft was better. lol
I don't mind his criticism, as long as its authentic. They have become a news outlet, not a true sports company. Whats real and what isnt? Cant trust them/him.

It’s authentic too many fans think everyone is against the Cowboys. He’s given some of our drafts very good grades over the years and when he does he gets great reviews from fans and no one complains. Someone referred to Kiper as a “tool”because they didn’t like the draft grade he gave us. Lol

Mel has an opinion just like everyone else. His opinion doesn’t matter to me. He may be 100% right, but it will be the first time.
