You should try reading his actual commentary...

Analysis: The debate for me here is between Ramsey and Joey Bosa, and with both guys at what I consider need positions, it's a good time to trust the board. Ramsey is going to be special, and I love the addition of him and Byron Jones over a two-year stretch. Regarding Elliott, it's much better to take a running back at No. 34 than at No. 4. I know this isn't a realistic draft scenario, but it's a glimpse at how I'd draft at running back. In Round 3, I get a needed addition to the secondary. White has a chance to compete for a starting role in nickel packages early on.

And it's exactly how I view the RB situation. You don't blow a top 5 pick on a RB. Certainly not with our line.

"While Kiper labeled Elliott falling to No. 34 as 'unrealistic,...'"

Wait, Mel, isn't this your mock?! :huh:

If this happened then God truly is looking out for his favorite team, however this is Mel "Jimmy Clausen is a 1st rd pick" Kiper we're talking about:laugh:

This isn't his projection. It's his "A" grade mock. As he doesn't think RBs are worth first round picks, Elliot would need to go in the 2nd to get an "A."

Totally agree with you on this.

Kiper will play favorites from time to time, and has misses like anyone. But who's notably better? I know he's an easy taget, but I actually like the guy.

Just realized somebody else has a similar thread, my bad. Guess I need to check in on Draft Zone once and awhile.

No, he really doesn't.
He's is describing his best draft for each team and not at all how he thinks the real draft would go.

Incredible. Like literally right there in the analysis....he says this isn't realistic.
