Mel Kipper is seriously a waste of time. The guy has been wrong so much it is unreal. IF he was such a great talent evaluator some team would have paid him big bucks to come on board.
The guy is nothing more then a talking head. Back in the day when fans were not as educated he came off as a good source now that the average fan has so much access to evaluational of talent it obvious the guy is just pulling at straws.
Mel Kiper has actually had quite a few big offers from teams

Looking back it was a very solid draft overall.
Griffin and Morris were the home runs, obviously. A+ for both picks.
Cousins proved to be a shrewd pick, one that was blasted at the time but Shanahan got the last laugh on that one.
Crawford showed some flashes as a nickel and as a returner. Robinson was coming along before his injury. LeRibeus filled in and did a nice job at the end of the season. Wouldn't be surprised if he pushes hard for a starting job in camp. Compton could be in the mix too for the RT job.
Agreed. Alfred Morris IMO was the steal of the entire draft.

He had to be, 1600 yards and 13 tds is all pro stats for a rb in today's NFL

Not to be biased but I would give this draft no lower than an A. You get a franchise RB and QB in the same draft?!? That deserves an A right there. Add in that we got a great backup QB and OLineman. I'd give us an A+.
and by A, he means C+.

Hey Kiper, the Redskins made the playoffs largely on the backs of two NFL history making rookies, RGIII (highest rookie QB rating in NFL history) and Morris (2nd leading rusher in the NFL in 2012).
I remember seeing a factoid/stat on the TV screen during one of our games stating not since the 1930's or 40's has an NFL team drafted a starting QB and RB together with such on field success in their rookie years. How did you miss that mophead?.
Add to that we did not have a killer defense to compliment them.
Add rookie Crawford who took over for suspended C. Griff and impressed by taking over all kick return duties from a terribly slumping Brandon Banks. This was another one of the key rookies that made our playoff run possible.
Then add to that, the other three NFC east teams did not even make the playoffs.
Sorry Kiper we deserve at least an A-.
In your path to being a so called draft expert Mel Kiper you lost the real reason why we play the game: to make the playoffs and win Championships. Not to collect the most draft picks and be the offseason champs. Who gives a crap about not having the most draft picks if we are winning playopff team again. Don't agree with you Kiper. FU
If the Giants owner and the NFL had not incorrectly stripped us of a ton of salary cap money we would be in the big game next week.

Knowing what we all know now, would you rather have Russell Wilson and our first rounders back, so we could have also gotten janoris Jenkins. Or RG3 and no firsts for a few years.
