Btw I’ve also seen it said that Booker’s 21 reps on the bench were pretty embarrassing for a guy who talks about making people quit.

According to Kiper, Dallas' "stick and pick" at No. 12, rather than trade back, was viewed as a questionable move.

The Cowboys tried to trade down. They couldn't get the value of the pick so they stayed pat.

"The value is just really iffy and he plays a non-premium position on the interior offensive line."

Zack Martin must have been a horrible pick at 16 also!!!

For three consecutive mock drafts, he had Dallas drafting North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton at 12. He was eventually drafted 22nd overall

I guess every team from 12 to 21 didn't value Hampton the same as Kiper so they were all wrong to pass on him too.

Wasn't kiper pissed that Sanders didn't go in the first? He's trying to stay relevant

Maybe he doesn't want to work for a team?

He's afraid they'd give him a wedgie about 5 times a day. He always asking for people to share their thoughts. Very annoying!

He had a complete breakdown. Said the NFL didn't know what they were doing.

Travis Frederick did 21 bench reps at the combine.
- He has 33" arms.
- He had dominant power in the NFL...

Tyler Booker did 21 bench reps at the combine.
- He has 34-1/2" arms.

I couldn't watch anymore, the whining they did over Sanders ruined it for the time for other players...

Excellent point.
Short arms typically help with bench press...especially big chested linemen

I remember him having a breakdown with Jimmy Clausen. Said he would retire if he wasn't a successful QB lmao.

I think he and Riddick got into an argument over it after Sanders was picked in the 5th rd.

Mel is slowly losing it, much to the disappointment of Risen Star.

For starters, just saying they should have traded down and dinging a team for that is silly when we have heard reports that the offers to move up were not good. Miami apparently tried to trade down too and had trouble finding value in doing that.

Secondly, Kiper's credibility is in the tank after his embarrassing performance for two nights whining about poor Shadeur Sanders and how the entire NFL is wrong and they don't know how to scout QBs, which is rich coming from the guy who pimped guys like Ryan Leaf, Jimmy Clausen, etc.

So if Mel says we screwed up, I gotta admit, I might feel even slightly better about how we drafted.

 

[KingCorcoran]

Kiper’s is just one of many opinions.

Zack Martin was great.

It's just that guards matter very little. Zack Martin's career is proof of that.

Post of the day here^^^

For decades we have been subjected to that loud mouth Monday morning draft QB. Last I checked Kiper never built any team. Another ESPN clown. Screw that guy.
