Question Mel Kiper or Todd McShay at Bodog

bodog has -120 on both for the one who will get more first round picks correct in their mock draft

Who do you like?

Don't like Mel's hair, so I'll go with Todd.

I believe Kiper beat McShay 7-2 in first round selections (just looked at it quick)

I say that because there isn't a player in the draft he couldn't tell you about. I really didn't know he graded the Bears the highest. Just listening to him talk is ridiculous.

really? amazing? if my only job was to evaluate about 200-250 college kids every year i'd say it's a pretty easy gig. obviously he does a good job (he has to if he wants to keep the cushy job), but what kiper does truly is not that hard to do.

when a lot of what you do and a lot of your evaluating is based on opinion and people put your opinions and evaluations on a higher pedestal than most, i'd say he does a great job. to be able to ramble off football/combine stats for almost 300 kids on the spot is not as easy as most people would assume it to be. guy has to know everything about everyone. not just stats, but situational stats, specific game stats, etc etc. and not just for the 1st rounders, he's on the ball with 6th rounders no one has ever heard of. give him a little credit.

Cant believe people still watch ESPN during the draft. NFL network so much better coverage. They actually talk about the picks and there analysis is way better. Guy was predicting several picks and 90 of his top 100 on his board were gone at pick 100.

May have been NFC only. Bears got a number of players on day 2 that need mending and would have been 1st or second rounders if not for injuries in college. But he stated he really liked the free agent QB Bears signed out of Colorado State..thought he could be starter in 2 years
