can you list the rankings?  most people aren't dumb enough to pay for "insider access"

 

His top five: 1)Barkley 2) Chubb 3) Nelson 4) Roquan Smith 5) Josh Allen

 

Dumb? 5 bucks/year for ESPN the Magazine that includes Insider Access.

Fun watching Mel squirm and get all pissy faced when teams dont follow his picks lol

 

I always say with Mel Kiper, if he knew half as much as he pretended to know some team would have given him a lot more money than ESPN a long time ago.  His ability to have immediate recall of almost every player in the draft pool is to be commended, but it's 2018, the networks can pull all of that up with a custom highlight package the moment any name is announced.

 

I switched to NFL Net's coverage several years ago.  Was forced to watch ESPN last year due to circumstances.  They didn't announce a details of our trade at #10 until nearly 20 minutes after twitter and co had put it out.

Yep.  I still get ESPN the magazine, never ever open it up, but it's always one of the options whenever someone's kid has a magazine fundraiser.

mel kiper was supposed to have quit his job if jimmy clausen wasn't a franchise qb. 

 

This is funny:

Also funny, look for full Kiper big boards / mock drafts from past years.  ESPN archives EVERYTHING, except for Kipers old work, you won't find anything on their website beyond just a snipit.

Kiper actually doesnt do much scouting like people think. He is very well liked inside NFL circles, and he gets most of information from scouting friends, and then puts his own spin on things... Unlike McShay who does actually scout and isnt good, and noone likes him.
