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.

The personnel guys around the league are often wrong as well. Picking these players is a 'best guess' type situation. I think Kiper does a pretty good job. Additioanlly, don't underestimate scheme and situation, which Kiper has really no control over. I think many players that either flopped or were mediocre, could have had considerably better careers had they come into a better scheme for their skillset or a better organization for their personality.
I don't have the time or desire to spend time looking at film/etc of every college player. I like being able to understand the quick pros/cons about players, especially 2nd, 3rd, 4th round guys.
