Vikings Message Board.Com

just realized Barkley is still on the board - been doing spring cleanup for like the last hour...

So.... Any sleepers in the 4th the vikes can grab? I don't know too many of the players left.

Vikings 3rd round pick coming up.....I mean....d'oh!!!

Would have been interesting to see if they would have taken Barkley here!

I think our draft has been great. whats the difference of getting 3 first rounders or just waiting around for maybe getting what we want. we got three solid and high potential guys that could be great. we have the later round picks for depth. maybe Swope or Bailey, and then we can get maybe AJ klein/kevin reddick/vince williams. thats fine

We don't even need another WR, although it would be nice.

We need to pick multiple LB's, and maybe a safety or DL.

A value RB would be nice, since Gerhart could be on his way out.

I personally wouldn't mind Barkley or Nassib if either fall to the 4th.

I see us using CP to give AD a break once in a while (he lined up as tail a few times) however call me stupid but I'm a Gerhart fan! It would be sad to see him go because all I ever see that guy give is impressive effort.

Oh, and speaking of giving up picks to draft a WR:

Tennessee Titans: Acquire pick No. 34 in 2013.
-- At No. 34, Tennessee selects Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee.

San Francisco 49ers: Acquire picks No. 40 and No. 216 in 2013, and a third-round pick in 2014.
-- At No. 40, San Francisco selects Cornellius Carradine, DE, Florida State.

It's the price you pay when you have a WR you want to secure. In this case for only moving up 6 spots the Titans had to give up a 3rd rounder next year.

Let's hope Patterson has a better career than Hunter. They will be compared against each other for a good long while, coming from the same school.

Other LB's that should be available are Nico Johnson, Jelani Jenkins, and Michael Mauti (injury concerns and all).

They would all be welcome, we need at least two more linebackers to push for starting spots.

Karlos Dansby would be a great 1 year rental if he would want to join on the cheap.

Rams teaming up Austin and Bailey again!

3 rounds in the books and a grand total of TWO QB's taking in the entire draft

Ravens having themselves another great draft.

Looking to the 4th, I don't really see anyone at MLB. The herd basically got cleaned out in the second round. My BPAs: Jordan Poyer (CB), Quinton Patton (WR), Cobi Hamilton (WR), Alex Okafor (DE), or Barrett Jones (OG).

Patton's still there? Holy crap if we took him I would #### a brick. Not because we do or don't need him, just because I would be that shocked.

Yup he made it through the day. I would be very surprised if he lasts to the Vikings pick, they would most likely need to trade up to grab him. But with Floyd falling, who knows with this draft.

AJ Klein MLB from Iowa State. Averages 110 tackles per year. Not wild about his ability to cover in space, but a fantastic tackler.
