He may already have died - that's an autobot up there talking, ala Hall of Presidents at Disneyworld. The guy looks more cadaverous than Larry King!

Mel was created by the Disney Corp.

ESPN asked Disney to create a draft expert for the ages and that's what they attempted to do. Today you see Disney's creation with only slight modifications.

The original Disney creation for ESPN...

Though he's the antithesis of a football purist, and I often disagree with him, I've nothing but respect for a guy who builds a market for his abilities and maximizes it to the fullest...

Kiper is president of Kiper Enterprises, which he founded in 1981 while in college. It is responsible for all aspects of a series of annual publications including the NFL Draft Report and Draft Preview.[1] Kiper Enterprises continues to operate, offering information about future NFL draft prospects.
With the emergence of ESPN2 and ESPN.com, Kiper's visibility increased. Kiper has said that Ernie Accorsi, the general manager of the then-Baltimore Colts, encouraged him to become a draft analyst. He says that Accorsi told him that there was a market for draft information and that Kiper should convert his expertise into a business.

Here is how you deal with the guy. You only listen to him twice a year... one right at the end of the season. All the BS between then and the day before the draft is just that BS.
