No need, man. Bill's an artist. Love that guy. In fact, rep for the reference.

He's so good, he can get me to read about the NBA.

Not really sure how people can say Kiper doesn't know his draft. I am not found of the guy, but damn you have to respect how much he knows

Oh yeah and he is definitely a car salesman

Kiper has been doing this for ESPN for over 20 years. Even if he didn't know what he was doing when he started, you can't convince me that 20 years on the job has taught him nothing.

Some people just have screwed up expectation of what these guys can do. Think about it. NFL teams get it wrong a lot. How much better do you expect Kiper to be?

Plus he drives GM products.

Kiper is armchair wannabe infact any one of us could do his job if we got paid to watch college football games 24/7 to evaluate talent for ESPN

If anyone could do it, and Kiper is so bad at it, why exactly has he been able to keep his job for over 20 years?

My guess is, Kiper knows a hell of a lot more about it than you or I or anyone else on this BB ever will. He's probably established quite a rolodex over the years too.

Is he the best? Maybe not. But he's good enough to make a career out of it.
