I hope so, it would be awesome if Vikings get Trey SmithRhodes Closed wrote: ↑Sat May 01, 2021 12:16 pm I'm going to predict that the Vikings are gonna be the ones to bite on Trey Smith coming up soon. In the 4th round if he's healthy he's a #### steal.
Eh. Vikings can get a kicker in later rounds or in undrafted signings. I'm usually vehemently against drafting kickers in the first five rounds.

He's got the body but his burst and bend are not great according to what I've read. I like the pick though and think he might develop. It is getting to a point though where they might select too many of these types of Dline mid round projects between this and last year.VikingTom wrote: ↑Sat May 01, 2021 12:35 pm
Robinson flashed ability at the college level yet never put together a complete game or elevated his play. He’s a tall, lanky defensive end with growth potential and athleticism, but he must physically mature and, more than anything else, start making plays on the field.
Basically agree. Like many GMs Rick has a tendency to get too cute thinking he is a genius when maybe some of these picks will be there later. In the 4th I still expect to find guys with a bit more early upside. 5 & 6 is more development with STs capability.Maelstrom88 wrote: ↑Sat May 01, 2021 12:41 pmHe's got the body but his burst and bend are not great according to what I've read.

Kene, IMO is slated for KR and STs, which then begs the question why draft him with this pick?VikingLord wrote: ↑Sat May 01, 2021 12:59 pm Interesting Round 4 for the Vikings.
They start with a guy I honestly hadn't heard of in Kene Nwangwu. Not sure what attracted them to Kene, but it must have been something one of their scouts sold them on as I don't see anything special from the limited info out there. He seems like he has good speed and definitely has low mileage, but yeah, this pick seems like it could have been made in UDFA.
The Bynum pick makes sense if they're planning on turning him into a safety, which from everything I'm seeing is the plan. Bynum definitely has good instincts in pass protection and should have a chance to develop for a year without a lot of pressure on him. However, Bynum's production at the college level was pretty flat. I'm going to hope the reason for that was coaching and with the right coaching he'll develop into a more productive player as a pro.
Janarius Robinson is a good value pick where the Vikings took him. Physically, he's what you want in a DE, but his production has been all over the place. In some games he's looked great, while in others he's vanished. Not a good sign because it's tough to coach motivation into someone, but if the light turns on for him he can be very good. On a more general note I'm not sure I would have gone DE with this pick given the Jones pick in Round 3, but it appears the Vikings are ranking prospects on ceiling more than anything else, so Robinson makes sense based on that.
Cam has some nice qualities. Team captain, has ball skills, is aggressive. This gives him the best shot.Rhodes Closed wrote: ↑Sat May 01, 2021 12:33 pm https://twitter.com/ChadGraff/status/13 ... 8030929921
