First of all, I don't what I am doing reading a La Canfora article in the first place, but my goodness. Apparently, this clown was interviewing a 'seasoned scout' asking about how the draft will shake out.

Well, here is what the 'scout' had to say about the Vikings pick:

Pick 23 - Vikings - Will Fuller, WR, Norte Dame: "They need more speed."

I just laughed and then shook my head. So much for being an expert. All he had to do was glance at the roster. All of our receivers have at least 4.4 speed. As a 'seasoned scout' he should have known that.

At least justify the pick in a different way. Saying we need more speed at receiver is not a good justification whatsoever.

:lol: didn't we have a lot of speed with Wallace?? Yeah that worked out. Diggs is a perfect Y WR IMO and then snag Treadwell or Doctson at the X with Wright in the slot. That's already a much improved WR corps

Dream: Kentrell Brothers in 2nd round.

With Brothers, Barr, and Kendricks the Vikings would have one of the best LB core in the NFL, and a very young one.


I'm from Missouri and I'm a big Mizzou fan. When my Los Angles Lakers selected Jordan Clarkson (a Mizzou Tiger) it was the first time one of my favorite teams selected a Mizzou player. Jordan Clarkson has been a beast of the Lakers, so now its the Vikings' turn to select a beastly Mizzou player! We missed out on J-Mac the year we took percy harvin :-(

Ah, here's that post you mentioned elsewhere! Funny, you and I had exactly the same response. Don't you love it when someone puffs themselves up, bragging about how well-prepared and knowledgeable they are, only to proceed to immediately demonstrate the exact opposite? What a tool!

In no particular order.

Laquon Treadwell

Josh Doctson

Reggie Ragland

Darron Lee

Good chance at least one of the above will fall to 23.

Love Lee, Jones, and Cravens. Would have ben awesome to get one of them. I think Jones is going to be a steal.
