Well, if anything I could see a problem with Agents using Kiper to convince Prospects to not act in their best interests by say..coming out as a junior..but big picture I don't believe Kiper is that influential in NFL front offices. Though Ireland did mention that once all of their inhouse work is finished each member of the Scouting/Talent acquisition team runs a mock draft based off of Kiper's rankings, but specific players being taken simply because Kiper has them highly rated? Not seeing it.
