scouting also involves projecting things that are impossible to predict, like how hard somebody works once drafted, system fit, etc

definitely. What's more telling in that article is how little respect he has from nfl scouts.

That's true. They need him more than he needs them.

I've also noticed that Kiper talks to pretty much everybody at ESPN like he's not taking any shite.

You ask your question, you STFU and listen, and then you can make your little parting comment. And that's all your're gonna do!

i know people don't like to hear this all the time, but kiper has grown into one of the best CFB analysts on major networks

you get to hear a lot more of this during his radio stuff, not when he's on ESPN tv shows

As another poster said a while back, McShay is 35 years old with 50 years scouting experience. In other words, he's a douche.

He's actually my favorite sports analyst.
As far as his picks, the clausen stance was a glaring miss, but he usually is pretty accurate (as accurate as anyone else has been). Mayock hasnt been close over the long haul.

Wasn't it Kiper that info got leaked he rated certain players higher depending on his access to them?

I can't remember the exact circumstances and so far I'm coming up empty on google.
