[JustInTime]

No truth to the rumors that Mel is the new mascot to Moorhead State.

I don't see it.

Saints are gonna tank for Arch manning

Sanders is gonna be humbled , wherever he goes.

This is the time each year I remember how all over the place the Draft 'experts' are. I don't love Cam Ward, but he's going to go #1. Sanders I'm sure is going to be higher on some boards than others. He's got better intangibles than physical traits. I don't think his demeanor plays into any of the scouting on him, its a non issue. He's very competitive which is a plus.

I can see the Drew Brees comp. Smaller. Subpar arm. Definitely needs to be in a dome with a play caller who can maximize his ability to throw with timing. I still wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole.

Gotta love these stories:

I heard someone say that if last year's 7th QB, Spencer Rattler, were in this draft he'd be a 1st rounder. I think that tells you all you need to know about this class.

Let's face it, Mel Kiper knows very little about draft prospects in terms of their future potential.  He's far from a scout.  What he did do is beat everyone else to the punch in doing a ton of information compilation on the draft which was a great service to all of us.  I appreciate Mel and give him a draft lifetime achievement award.  I do not put any credibility in his ability to identify talent any better than the average Joe.

IMO, if Sanders was not Deion Sanders son he would never be a first day pick.

I can't believe...no, actually I do believe it, I just think it's asinine...that they're retiring Sanders' number despite no bowl game wins, terrible conference record early on, and...

...oh, wait, he's about 50% hype; his Dad's shadow props his "legend" much more than his accomplishments.
