Usually I have one person I’m looking at for us to draft so this is the first time I have not...maybe it’s because this draft is so loaded...position of need is somewhat hard to figure this year....I know we need WR, CB,DL and OT if that trade is not done...I’m just stumped this year... like WR we can find those in the the Third round so do we go all D in the first few picks? Help!!!!!

We don't really need OT except to develop for next year. We need a guard to start this year.

I'm starting to think the Vikings will stick with their MO and not address OL until the mid rounds. The Tackles who have a high enough floor are going to be gone by 22. The rest of the OTs are gambles. I'm betting the week one starters are already on the roster, unless the Vikings trade for Trent Williams.

I think we draft at least one OL in the first three rounds. So if round 3 is mid you could be right. I think of the first three rounds as where you find the prime time players and of course there are exceptions. Week one starters might all be on the team already, but by week five I think we have somebody new.
