A Splitting Hairs Draft
ESPN Senior NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. broke down a tight draft class. First, he said this is a “splitting hairs” year, where combine results, interviews, and small details can swing evaluations. Then he backed Fernando Mendoza as a legit quarterback, not just a story, pointing to his consistency and decision making. Finally, he admitted he’s softened on running backs, saying Jeremiah Love is more than a back and could justify going high in the draft.
