ESPN’s Mel Kiper has his first mock draft of the year (behind ESPN’s insider paywall) and as always, it’s landing with major impact.
Mock drafts always carry an air of disbelief, but Kiper always helps to cut through that given his longevity in the industry. No, the 2018 NFL Draft won’t bow to Kiper, but conventional wisdom always does even for the Los Angeles Rams (NOBODY was talking about Greg Robinson as a top pick in the 2014 NFL Draft before Kiper and of course he ultimately went #2 overall).
