Mel Kiper Jr and the Rams

Mel Kiper, Jr is scrambling. The St. Louis Rams are going to trade their number two pick. I guess I would be scrambling too. The top three are pretty much the only picks that he accurately predicts. As bad as it reads, I bet MKJ is relieved that Al Davis is no longer around to make a wacky head-scratcher of a pick. Single-handedly, Al Davis made Mel Kiper, Jr significantly less credible. But Al Davis’ omnipresence is no longer looming behind the gargantuan hair and false sense of self-worth maintained by Kiper.

I bet Kiper is also fuming toward the general direction of Peyton Manning. Although it is a lock that the Colts draft Andrew Luck number one, you never know which Super Bowl or QB hungry team will snatch him up and looking for a player that is completely different than what Mel Kiper has been projecting for the last several months.  I imagine Mel Kiper scuttles around his office in over-caffeinated antipathy whenever Peyton and Jim Irsay have either a highly publicized spat or leaked love note. They are just so impossible to read – they show sentiment and passion! Poor Mel.

I started this post out with the aim of bullet pointing the Rams and noting how well they will do in the draft because they will get a significant lump sum for that number two pick. RG3 impressed the masses in Indy last weekend and he has become the hot bachelor of the football world. The scenario is a little daunting, actually. Although the Rams performed feebly last season (the second pick in the draft proves it) – they may be climbing back up the hill and into contention. If the Rams draft, trade, or pick up first-rate players and maintain their health, they could be a strong force that gives the 49ers a massive headache and pure hell. Watch out for the Rams, football fans. And more importantly someone needs to go comb Mel Kiper’s hair and stroke his ego. I think he just flipped a table.
