Kiper Gives Patriots a C+ for their Draft Day
Draft specialist for ESPN, Mel Kiper gives the Patriots a C+ overall for the 2013 draft. This really isn’t worth too much attention so let me tell you a few quick thoughts on this.
These so-called "draft experts" are wrong more often than a Boston area weather man and yet, for some reason, people will sit idly by and listen to them drone on for hours about their useless mock-drafts. One question, why?
Nothing could be more pointless and useless than Kiper or McShay’s mock-drafts because there is no way to know what teams will make a priority because most teams don’t tell anyone for fear of missing out on their player. So, if the experts don’t know what a team’s priority is, where teams are going to pick (due to the trading of picks) or anything really, why is it worth watching?
Striking resemblance
Secondly, can we just throw it out there that grading a team’s draft picks before the players have stepped foot on a field is equivalent to a teacher handing out a test and grading it before your name is on it. It’s putting the cart before the horse. The real grades should be given out in three to five years when all the players in the draft are either contributing or not.
