Reid ranked 50th on the NFL.com board. Seems like an odd pick to me. But he wasn't a guy we were going to pick, and I didn't want him. So yay!

It's almost as if they were trying to throw a pick away.

Re-reading reports on Floyd. Pretty polarizing. Greg Cosell likened him to J.J. Watt though. Is his "Favorite" player in the draft.

Yes. Reid over Cyprien and Elam. Does anyone really know which of these guys will be the better NFL player? Of course not. So why not sit back and take the one who drops to you at #31?

I think the Vikes are going to make out like Bandits with the first 2 picks!

If they do, maybe we can get Rudolph to cover him.
