Mel Kiper or Mike Mayock: Of the two, who has more cred in your book?

Mayock had a good draft in 2019 (even though his first pick wasnt his best).

The problem as it appears to me is that he seems to have fallen into the need trap. Drafting by need works against his talents to evaluate. And leads to silly things like taking 3 WRs in your first 4 picks (2020 Draft)

Making draft guides and projecting need is great for the Draft Media business, but its horrible for the GM business. By the time you get a draft grade IRL nobody is going to remember or care what your needs were when you drafted the players.

Thank you. I was listening to a podcast yesterday and they were so focused on drafting for need that I was struggling to finish listening to it.

Loomis has been forced into relying heavily on drafting for need since the Covid cap year and it's killed our drafting as a result. This is the first FA in a while where we've been able to make enough moves to fill most of our immediate needs so I'm hoping we can get back to good drafting.
