I get where you going with that, but I always thought he was a grownup Eddie Munster with that hairdo. Lmao

They can find guys at tiny schools and big schools, guys that underperformed but are athletic, etc etc.

It has made the game a lot better in a lot of ways.


So NFL teams rarely found guys at tiny schools or sleepers before Mel Kiper ? Off the charts insane the amount credit this guy is given.

If it had stayed in the hands of the Dr Z types, it would have been decades before the draft became a thing. Between Mel's Jet comments and the Tobin incident, he rocketed the draft to it's standing today.

Ironically, as much as I respect Kiper, I haven't seen him in a long time. I ditched ESPN a long time ago for the NFLN.

The pro Kiper arguments in this thread are laughable.

How do people not know this was one of the most famous moments in NFL Draft history?

I just noticed the downvotes on my posts and thought do they think those are my words?

I'm fine with him getting in.

On a side note, he did only get one pick in the first round correct in his mock draft.

Why not? Commissioners and owners do.

Personally I’d find it hilarious for Mel Kiper to be in and not Bill Tobin.

(In no way am I arguing that either are deserving).
