Wish that worked in the real world. 

He's kept his job because people still tune in to hear what he has to say. And in fairness, while he is rarely right on the order drafted, he does provide valuable analysis of each player.

Mel Kiper is atrocious as his job. I feel very comfortable certain we aren't going for Willis if that's what Kiper reckons.

I think Kiper only has a job at this point because of his hair and he talks fast.

I think Bill Tobin actually helped his career.

Passing on both Neal and Cross?

I know, that would be questionable. Shore up the offensive line & roll with Darnold or bring in vet.

If we draft a QB, aren't we essentially giving Matt Rhule more time at the helm?  You can't draft a rookie QB and expect quicker results than an established QB, a la the Teddy and Sam experiments.  That said, the thought of Rhule getting his hands on a raw QB only to be fired shortly thereafter gives me bad vibes for the kid's development.  fug it all. 

 

tldr - pick a tackle for fugs sake

That was my thought exactly.  My second thought was:

any casual fan could do his job, he's just a weird looking dude who is easy to make fun of at this point

How often does Mel Kiper get it right?

 

Hardly the case. A little internet research turns up this gem from coldhardfootballfacts.com; over the course of the last four drafts (2005-2008) our boy Mel has compiled an abysmal record of 32 correct picks out of 127 in the first round or about 25.2 percent correct.

 

Who is the most accurate mock draft person?

 

With so many opinions, not everyone can be right. However, one particular writer from Sharp Football Analysis is statistically proven to be the most accurate mock drafter over the last five years. According to The Reports,  Brendan Donahue is that writer. He has a 44.8 average over the last five years.

He talked about the mock on his podcast and doesn’t do trades.  These are picks he thinks will happen with a dash of his big board in mind.

If this happens I hope I’m drunk by the time we pick. 
 

Passing on Neal will hurt my feelings.
