That's what I was thinking, and maybe it is so. I haven't found anything related to character yet, but did find this:
He suffered a scare prior to the start of his senior year of high school, when he was diagnosed with acute kidney failure after a practice and spent two days in an intensive care unit

They must have a lot of faith in Dozier or Samia.

I hope its Dozier AND Samia. I would really rather not watch Elf struggle again next year, but it looks like that will be the case again.

I was so excited when Vikings drafted Samia, he is a beast so I am very excited to watch him play if he gets any playing time

That would be a very pleasant surprise.

Missed out on the guards, Simpson would’ve been a great pick if they didn’t trade out of the 3rd. Missed on Eason and Fromm. 17 picks. All these “solid guys restocking our team” will be cut in 4 months. So tired of watching this guy make the same mistakes for over a decade.

I thought days 1 and 2 were really solid. Got some day 1 starters at positions of need. I haven't been too impressed today but I think there's a chance that Rick is stockpiling all of these players in preparation for having no season this year. If the season is cancelled, we can most likely keep all of these guys on our roster and work/develop them throughout the year and see who understands the playbook after a year and then decide who to cut.

Vikings signed Mannion to a 3 year deal and Browning has 1 year left so I did not think Vikings are going to draft a quarterback and I was right

He doesn't evolve, it seems. His habits are so deeply engrained it's laughable.

I'd be surprised if most of these guys don't make the cut.

Just draft freakin Moss and give me some kind of joy today.
