Episode 547 of "SI Media With Jimmy Traina" features an interview with longtime ESPN NFL Draft guru, Mel Kiper.


Kiper talks about what the NFL Draft was like when he started with ESPN in 1984, when he knew the Draft was going to become a big deal as a television product and when he realized he had become the name most associated with the NFL Draft.


In addition, Kiper reveals his best analysis of all time, the pick he'd most want to have back and the most shocking Draft moment.


Kiper also discusses what working the Draft is like from a television perspective, what the truth is about his cell phone usage, the famous incident with Bill Tobin, who has contacted him to complain about his analysis, how Tony Kornheiser explained his habit of ripping Kiper and much more.


Following Kiper, Sal Licata from WFAN radio and SNY TV in New York joins Jimmy for their weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week's topics include the trend of ridiculous ballpark food, Spike Lee's Knicks fandom, the 25th anniversary of a landmark "Sopranos" scene and more.
