bitonti Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Richard Seymour was a #6 selection he had him going to the Jets at 19? WTF happened? that's a huge whiff. He was right that Kris Jenkins was better than drafted - at least for a couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVM Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 He got 3 out of 31... *Chambers (future HOF lock) *Will Allen (Future SB champ) *Santana Moss ok...aside from the fact that chambers is not a hall of famer, much less a lock....santana moss was drafted by the jets, not the redskins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterNorth09 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 That year I wanted the Jets to get that Chad Johnson guy from Oregon State. Reasons were that he was big, fast and related to two good NFL pros, Keyshawn Johnson and Samari Rolle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderbirdJet Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Kiper is easilly the most clueless of the so called draft pundits. He really is. I also think, contrary to my earlier suppositions, that his hair actually IS a helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xcel2NuFX Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Kiper is easilly the most clueless of the so called draft pundits. He really is. I also think, contrary to my earlier suppositions, that his hair actually IS a helmet. Ok man think about this... He picked Vick to go first and Vick was picked first. He couldn't have told you who was gonna trade their picks! Also he was very close with other picks. #7 Seattle and #8 Bears were just backwards and they both drafted WR's... To me thats pretty good for a clueless draft pundit. His top 5 picks were all drafted in the top 5 just not in that order. He also had the Eagles picking Chad Johnson. If my memory serves me correctly CJ fell into the second round and the Eagles ended up drafting a guy by the name of Freddie Mitchel. Gee I wonder if the Eagles would like to go back and go with Kipers pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone surfing the net can do what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
