"We got a guy up here ... and who in the hell is Mel Kiper, anyway? I mean, here's a guy who criticizes everybody, whoever they take. He's got the answers to who you should take, to who you shouldn't take. He tells us about your team. He tells us about the Rams. Mel Kiper is a tortoise. He tells us about Tampa and everything else. In my knowledge of him, he's never even put on a jockstrap, he's never been a player, he's never been a coach, he's never been a scout, he's never been an administrator, and all of a sudden, he's an expert.
He's in our paper two days ago, telling us who we have to take. We don't have to take anybody that Mel Kiper says we have to take. Mel Kiper has no more credentials to do what he's doing than my neighbor, and my neighbor's a postman and he doesn't even have season tickets to the NFL."
Who can forget this classic rant from then-Colts GM Bill Tobin after Mel Kiper criticized his selection of Trev Alberts in the 1994 Draft. Mel couldn't believe Indianapolis passed on a quarterback (Trent Dilfer) with the No. 5 overall pick.
In the spirit of Mr. Tobin, even though he was proven wrong, you can be that postman right here on FanIQ.
Enter the NFL Mock Draft Challenge and prove to the disgruntled, soon-to-be-fired GMs that anyone can do a better job of predicting the unpredictable.
Here's a hint: slide that guy in the picture up to the No. 1 position before the poll closes on Friday night. You'll thank me later.
