I kind of find it funny they want you to pay $ to see Mel's latest Mock draft. I know it's not an exact science, but after I saw his 2010 mock, he didn't get one first round prediction right. Not one. 0-32

Even in the top 10. :eek:

I can do that myself.

Kiper already got called out for *pumping up* prospects that are represented by agents he has a *close* relationship with. Obviously his mock drafts are based on $$$ he gets from agents he knows.

They reason he is wrong? Because the NFL scouts don't listen to his paid drivel.
 
Yeah, he was horrible last year. He was pumping Clausen, for example, and had him going in the top 10...jeesh.

Mel or no Mel, I mostly avoid ESPN on line because they try to get you sign up for that stupid pay service to get not much at all extra value vs other non-pay sites.
Can't stand it when they put out a teaser story and you can't read it unless you sign up for ESPN Insider.

He didn't get Bradford right?

:laugh2: He said they would take Suh.

That too would have been a nice pick, but he missed it nevertheless.

I have Insider because I got a subscription to ESPN The Magazine for cheap. Insider is stupid...you don't get anything that's "inside" They're all just rumors and guessing that you can find almost on any website.

I'm an insider and I enjoy it. I like reading the blogs, particularly Buster Olney's and Keith Law's. I feel the content is enough to justify the price, as I think they do a good job of putting everything neatly in one place. I don't read many of their NFL articles, mostly baseball and stuff on the NBA draft. I think there's enough value there. I don't even really like the magazine, more of a Sporting News fan.
