I will say this for Kiper. He takes alot of flak from would-be draft gurus who see him as King of the Mountain and what to displace him. But he was the only person I'm aware of who predicted Maroney to the Pats at #21. It was in the ESPN pre-draft issue from last year. He's from Baltimore and I believe he is friendly with the Ravens staff and Ozzie N. As we know, the Baltimore FO and the Pats are as close as possible in a competitive environment. They talk to eachother, trade with one another. Ozzie credits the structure of his scouting system and player guidelines to those BB established in Cleveland. I believe if anyone can sniff out the Pats tendencies, and it is a long shot, it may be Kiper. As for McShay, I believe he is from the Boston area, and worked for BB at one time, possibly in Cleveland in the scouting department, and credits BB for his scouting education (although that may be a resume filler). I don;t take this Don Banks mock seriosuly at all. He doesn't follow college football, so the only way he can put together an accurate mock is on insider info. But we are so early in the process there is no insider info, so his mock is pure nonsense.
