Mel Kiper's assessment on our 3rd round pick not so long ago.

Grayson played in a pro style offense. He can play under center. He can go in a three, five or seven-step drop. He can come in and help you,” Kiper said. “He has enough mobility. Losing bothers him. He is a tremendous competitor. I think Grayson’s a second-rounder.

How did that work out?

Kiper hyped up every Notre Dame QB except the one I finally like

Quinn, Clausen, Kizer all tried but failed miserably. No knock on them but the NFL is hard.

Sounds about right. There wasn't a ton of film on Turner at DE, Werner is a high floor guy, and Adebo opted out last season. I definitely understand the skepticism from draft pundits.

I think it's a C but that doesn't mean I didn't like the draft either. Draft grades are for fan entertainment, kills time, and gets the conversation going. I don't see why it should ruffle feathers. Does anyone really give a crap about his opinion? That it for what it is.

Not really... it's just fun banter to circle back around to his comments and rankings, especially years later. How does this guy still have a job on TeeBee?

I seem to remember in past drafts Mel Kiper going on endless rants. I felt he was relatively quiet this year, anything to it that anyone is aware of?

Perhaps he has finally come to realize he's just lucky to have this job that carries no accountability.
