Quote: 

A "veteran NFL scout" emailed top pro gossip site Pro Football Talk Wednesday to a) Praise ESPN draftnik Mel Kiper, who is "not a true scout" but "works at it," and b) Confirm that Kiper's colleague, Todd McShay, is considered "a joke" in the league: "McShay does not have any good connections. Higher-ups in the league think he is an arrogant [expletive]. A know-it-all. And he really knows nothing. Whatever he says about a quarterback, take it to the bank, it will be the opposite." Exhibit A is former Kentucky quarterback Andre Woodson, a McShay favorite who went in the sixth round in 2008 and is now out of the league. This year's Woodson, according to PFT's scout: Ole Miss quarterback Jevan Snead, who — despite a good evaluation from "pretty boy Todd" — most observers without daily access to a national television audience thought needed another year in college after leading the nation in interceptions as a junior.
