Mel Kiper, 2.0

*We love the Patriots' selection of Jerod Mayo of Tennessee. He may have been taken a few spots too high (#10), but we know one thing: he is twice the player USC's Keith Rivers (taken by the Bengals one spot ahead). Rivers looks like an All-American. Mayo plays like an All-American.


*Great to see Mel Kiper is a tad fiesty this year. Nothing like in 1994 when his stinging criticism of the Colts selecting Trev Alberts prompted GM Bill Tobin to scream, "Who the hell is Mel Kiper?!?" But Mel is questioning picks left and right -- which is a heckuva lot more interesting than the other Yes Men sitting around him.

*Does Ron Jaworski think any player is any good?!? All we hear is how much film Jaws watches and how many weaknesses every player has. Lighten up, Francis Jaws.
