Let's talk April 2016 NFL draft

Post by VikingPaul73 »

I was VERY excited and optimistic entering week 1. As a Vikings fan I usually start looking forward to the draft in October. This year, it will be week 2 with another showing like Monday's.

So that said, who are the top 5 picks for next year? Anyone we should be focusing on? Is there an Andrew Luck or an AD coming out next year????

PS I put $$$ on the Gophers to win the NC at 500-1 odds!!!! In the weak B10 west, they have a shot!!!

About the same odds for the Vikings to win the Super Bowl :rofl:

Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.

1 more loss and Demi is going to start asking when we will start tanking games. So Rick can work his magic with first round picks..

God I would hope not. I'll post in here later regarding some guys I have my eye on.

so what do you think Rick will get when he trades down with the Seahawks? Maybe Wagner and their 1st and 2nd in 2017?
:D
