nobody is expecting mel kiper to tell you anything you dont already know when it comes to the first 10-20 picks. the average fan certainly recognizes and knows something about the early 1st round picks.
the guy is very good at what he does in the middle rounds though. the guy makes his money when it comes to evaluating talent long after most turn their tvs off after their home team makes their 1st round pick. i like the fact that he is strong enough to stand by his evaluations even if the national media, and even some teams, hold a different opinion.
