Kiper’s old as dirt and the original draft nerd. I didn’t read it as anything other than Kiper being Kiper. He’s way up there on the spectrum, and I don’t believe he can help himself.
I am disappointed it took so much from the other kids being drafted, but a slide this historic just drove him off the deep end. He believed the kid was a first round talent, and the league always elevates the quarterback position above all others, so for Sanders to fall to the 5th just goes against everything Kiper understands.
He might be wrong about Sanders being an NFL starting quarterback, but he’s not wrong that the League has no clue about evaluating the position.
