Kiper has always been kind to them.  I always suspected that they were
employing him as a consultant because their evaluations seem to match so
well with his sometimes.

FWIW, in looking the grades over, Kiper wasn't too low or too high on
anyone.  I don't think there were any Ds in the whole thing (I may have
missed them.
