ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper was not impressed by former UCLA linebacker Akeem Ayers’ NFL combine performance, and not only dropped him off his Big Board, but listed him as one of his Combine “losers”, after Ayers ran unofficial times of 4.80 and 4.83 in the 40-yard dash.

However, both Kiper and Todd McShay have Ayers still at No. 21 to the Kansas City Chiefs, which would be a pretty good spot for Ayers.

Ultimately, I think Ayers does stay in the first round, as his production and potential is just too much to ignore.
