Vikings Message Board.Com

Danny Shelton - Reminds me a lot of a mix of two people, former Viking Chris Hovan and one of Mike Zimmer's old Bengals Domata Peko. Chris Hovan for having tree trunk size arms covered in tattoos, but also relentless effort to make plays despite being slower than most. Domata Peko for quick burst o...

Charles Johnson - Really no limit on what he can do. has good height and insane quickness. Mike wallace will take the top off the Defense and CJ will tear it up in the middle of the field. His game should grow as Teddy matures.

Trae Waynes - Very athletic corner with 6'1 height. Needs some coaching on his tendency to bump or grab recievers. Zimmer will be able to bring the best out of him and before long we'll have a No Fly Zone of our own in Minnesota.

Taylor Mays - Could be the starter next to Harrison Smith. Has elite hit power, but has struggled in coverage so far in his career. I see a battle between him and Exum for the starting spot. Exum has better coverage skills so im not sure how this one plays out.

sorry about the small image file, it was all I could find on Babs.

Babatunde "Babs" Aiyegbusi - Absolutely massive (6'9" 350 lbs) OL the Vikings just signed. Has a history playing basketball so his footwork is better than most 350 lb lineman. Still Very raw and will need a lot of technique work to be a polished product, but he has every single physic...

Eric Rowe - Some people see him as a CB some see him as a S, but everyone sees him as a sleeper. I see him at Safety and he put up top 5 in every drill at the combine for Safetys. He's tall and lanky and has excellent coverage skills. Zimmer likes his safetys to be able to cover so he can blitz his...

Cody Fajardo - Another guy who could potentially be a developmental QB for the Vikings. Fajardo is a more realistic value pick for the Vikings than Petty. Cody Fajardo and Colin Kaepernick are the only players FBS history to throw for 9,000 yards and run for 3,000. He is extremely raw and needs wor...

Bryce Petty - My favorite option for the Vikings to try and grab for Backup QB. Shaun Hill is great in the mentor roll but if he actually has to play we're screwed, thats where somebody like Bryce Petty would be great. Likely gone before the Vikings start thinking about backup QB but if he does fal...

Ifo Ekpre-Olomu - Another mid round option at corner who may be better than a lot of players that go ahead of him. He suffered a bad knee injury last season which may mean a lot of teams passing on him. He's only 5'9 which is the only major flaw i see with him. He has great technique and allways fi...

Todd Gurley - Would make for one of the best duo's in the league with McKinnon if Peterson is traded. Has all the Power to take over the goal line role from Asiata. The difference between Asiata and Gurley though is the speed, Gurley has taken kick returns to the house before (can't imagine Asiata ...

Like this guy for depth on the O-line and possible steal if he can reach his potential. I've been wanting Vikings to go after giant mauler type lineman and it seems like they're finally leaning that way.

Jay Ajayi - Round 3-4 RB that could instantly make a deadly combo with McKinnon if we move on from Peterson. He weighs 230 and has quick feet for that big of a guy. Not quite as tough of a runner as Marshawn Lynch but there is a slight resemblance of the aggressiveness that Lynch has. Can do what A...

PJ Williams - Round 2-3 option at CB that could sit under Newman and shore up his technique for a year before stepping in full time. Played with Xavier Rhodes at FSU. Hard hitter for
a cornerback and has the size to mach up well against most recievers.

I think Zimmer coached him in Dallas and Cincinnati. He'll likely play for one year starting across from Xavier while we bring up a young guy.
