Analyzing the Draft Experts

Every year when draft season comes around, the collective world turns to the "draft experts" for the best insight on who is picking who. With the NFL Draft just hours away, it is time to pick apart the NFL "draft experts" Mel Kiper Jr. And Todd McShay. Who coined these guys draft experts anyway? In last years first round alone, both Kiper and McShay were 5-32, that's 16%. If LeBron shot 5-32 from the field we would be calling for his head, if Albert Pujols went on a streak of 5-32 at the plate, he would be in the worst slump of his career. I understand that it is extremely difficult to project these picks, but they still shouldn't be called experts. All I am asking for is a name change, actors change their names all the time to sound better, even Lew Alcindor changed his name. So, if anyone out there is listening, let's not call them draft experts anymore, let's change their names to Draft Consultants.
