"You do what you can do," Kiper said.

Tell me about the Steelers organization! At the end of the day, you just hope they’re going to listen to something you’re saying.

"This is a speculative business. For over 30 years, Mel Kiper Jr. has offered ESPN’s viewers an inside look at what NFL scouts are thinking before the NFL Draft. The couple seems very happy with one another and there is no sign of divorce.

Not true, based on a survey of former and current NFL executives and coaches.

But even if Buchsbaum was the superior scout, Kiper had a bigger impact. "I, like everybody, thought Mel thought he had all the answers coming in," McShay said. Mel has been very appreciative of the role his wife plays in his life, aside from the romantic part. It took five years before we made a penny on the (draft) books.". Even though I haven’t always agreed with his assessments, I’ve always been a big fan. "Most home games during my years there, you couldn't look up to the top of the stands without seeing him and a few other guys chatting and watching the game," Kyle Levere, a standout wide receiver who graduated from Calvert Hall in 2013, wrote via Facebook.

"If they beat Mel, they’re happy," Esch said.

The Internet is littered with websites devoted to mock drafts. At the time Accorsi reached out, Kiper already had joined ESPN and was focused on selling the annual draft books that also were distributed to all of the NFL teams.

That started in part because Mel’s father, Mel Sr. died in 1988, shortly before the couple started dating. After publishing his first NFL draft book as a high school senior, Kiper enrolled in nearby Essex Community College—in large part so that he could juggle his studies and his fledgling home-based operation that produced the following each year: a draft preview in October; newsletters in November, December and January; a free-agency data sheet in February; his annual draft book with scouting reports in March; a draft update in early April; and a draft review after the event itself. Accorsi, who was assistant general manager of the Baltimore Colts when he met Kiper—then a teenager handing out scouting reports to anyone who would take them—said he considered hiring him as an assistant in the mid-1980s when Accorsi was general manager of the Cleveland Browns.
