Imma go with Greenie and Louis Riddick on ESPN... although I'm not sure I can handle Kiper + Booger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsympathetic Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Turning out to be about enough Kiper.. he's basically the backup analyst if this was a live game, greenie the call and booger the lead analyst. Kiper's personality is the uncle who you're scared of what's going to come out of his mouth at Thanksgiving this year. Will he have a weird right-wing slogan? Or does he have a heart? Either way, I respond by eating turkey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I respond by eating turkey. True- they keep Mel around- because he's sort of a fixture...Other serious draft analysts are way more reliable. They mocked him when the Steelers pick came up... The Draft Manning- Rivers- Roethlisberger... Mel "I guarantee you one of them is going to bust." I knew he was full of it way back when he kept on screaming mmmuuuusssstttt draft Hart Lee Dykes.... My pal said who? Never heard of him... Now there's a trivia question- who took him in the first round.... It branched into a discussion of the biggest draft busts of all time. I'll go with the flow on that one, and put Jafattus Russell and Ryan Leaf as 1A and 1B..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go with the flow on that one, and put Jafattus Russell and Ryan Leaf as 1A and 1B..... To be fair....you can look at most every draft in the last 20+ years where there were 3 or more QBs taken, and there are almost always 2-3 busts, or at least disappointments among the first round QBs: 1999 Couch/Smith/McNown disappoint vs. McNabb/Culpepper 2002 Carr/Harrington/Patrick Ramsey vs. No One 2003 Leftwich/Grossman/Boller vs. Carson Palmer 2004 JP Losman vs. Eli/Rivers/BR 2005 Jason Campbell vs. Rodgers/Alex Smith 2006 Vince Young/Leinert vs. Cutler (if you consider his career somewhat of a success) 2007 Jamarcus Russell/Brady Quinn vs. No One 2009 Sanchez/Josh Freeman vs. Matt Stafford 2010 Bradford/Tebow vs. No One 2011 Locker/Gabbert/Ponder vs. Cam Newton 2012 RGIII/Weeden vs. Luck/Tannehill 2014 Bortles/Manziel/Bridgewater vs. No One 2015 Winston/Mariota vs. No One 2016 Paxton Lynch/ Carson Wentz/Jared Goff. Difficult to say yet whether Wentz/Goff are disappointing or not. 2017 Trubisky vs. Mahomes/Watson Too early on anything past this. Highlighted are only years where half or more of the QBs taken can be considered successful I would say So, as you can see, I don't think is it at all a stretch to predict that a couple of QBs in a 4-5 QB first round draft would be busts. History...as you can see from above, for the most part confirms that fact. In fact....I think it very easy to say that at least 2-3 of the following: Lawrence/Wilson/Lance/Fields/Mack are going to busts or disappointments.

Unsympathetic Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Apparently McShay got the first like 9 picks correct on his pre-draft guess.. Is the ESPN coverage w Kiper going to become like Dick Clarke's New Year's Eve except Kiper's stroke just makes him more autistic and less likeable?

Tour2ma Posted April 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Good for Todd... Used to see him on ESPN on Day's 2 and 3 with Trey Wingo and Mel and Riddick. Hope he's on tonite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
