I genuinely might like the Packers draft more than the Vikings so far (and that's saying something).

1st: Trade up for Jordan Love
Piss off Aaron Rodgers
2nd: A.J. Dillon
3rd: Josiah Deguara

Just...phenomenal work. Keep it up!

-Love,

Vikings fans

I do not really think either player is coming
If Kirkpatrick was coming we probably wouldn't have drafted Dantzler.

OG or S are also options here.

OG: Lucas Niang, Biadasz, Netane Muti, Tega

S: Terrell Burgess or K'Von Wallace.

Or could go wildcard with Weaver/Eason
Well there goes Niang!

I dont think we have a true nickel still. Dennard and Kirkpatrick have both played nickel. Amik Robertson is still there but I dont see us taking another corner soon. I love the look of this CB group right now but I think they need a veteran in that room badly. Our "veteran" right now is Mike Hughes.

I wonder if Kline re-signs after the draft.

Niang is too big to play G.

Agree on the need to find a veteran slot corner, surprised we let Alexander get away just as he was getting it.

Rick realizes 15 rookies aren't making the squad right?

Did Vikings traded back? If so what did they get in the trade?

Usually each year, I can find a Vikings pick where I'm like "ehhh not sure about that one". So far I'm very impressed. Two solid corners, Brian O'Neill 2.0 and a stud WR in Jefferson and we still have a ton of picks left.

I called it a few times before that we would have our pick of the litter at guard in the 3rd-5th rounds. I think only 2 have gone. Bummed Jackson went but still plenty of solid guards out there.

DT is getting very thin. Still like Khalil Davis.

If I had to choose this next 3rd rounder, I say Khalil Davis or Ben Bartch who would kick over to guard I think.

Or I would take any of the following guards:

Simpson
Lemieux
Dotson
Muti
Clarke
Bredeson
Stenberg
Adiniji
Runyan
Onwenu
Thockmorton

I know some wouldnt like this but we could very well continue to wait on guard given all the talent still out there.

I'm thinking Davis could be the pick. Hell, as crazy as this sounds, I wouldnt be opposed to Amik Robertson but 3 CBs is pretty crazy

If Vikings draft Robertson then Vikings can figure out who can be the veteran slot corner

I will bet money to anyone, that if the Pats start Hoyer, they make the playoffs.
