Ozzy Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 People really need to stop pretending that Dalton Risner will be available for the Vikings in the freaking late 2nd round of the draft. I mean come on! The guy will be gone in the 1st round and would be never available 2nd round what so ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 As Steve has said, “anything can happen” its also a mock draft simulator using a very specific board/predictive board... I don’t think any of us reasonably expect him to be there at 50. But, if doing these mocks, he’s staring us in the face... why wouldn’t we take him?

EVERY year we hear people say so & so has absolutely no chance of falling yet miraculously EVERY year there's that one talent that falls. You have absolutely no idea of whats going to happen. I have seen from multiple sources that I trust that Risner is going anywhere from 15- 40. Sorry if I'll take their word over yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I'll take their word over yours You can believe what you want to believe, but for Risner to fall to the 50th pick in the 2nd round... Yeah will see about that one, I will remember this little comment come draft time. What exactly makes Risner an offensive line prospect that is not worth a 1st round pick to early 2nd round pick? And since when do NFL teams not need offensive linemen? Last time I checked almost every team in the NFL need OL help in some degree or another.

You tell me where pick 15 - 40 falls then get back to me Edit: Im going to save us one back & forth. You said he doesn't fall out of the 1st, thats crap, it could happen but since that initial statement you seem to have back tracked on saying theres no way he falls out of the first which I don't think you can predict when he's not a top 30 prospect & although teams have Offensive line issues they also have other issues, my point is there is no way you can say for sure this player wont fall just like Floyd was a top 5 pick and there was absolutely no way he falls to us. Now do I think he'll last to pick 50? Absolutely not but it wont surprise me at all if he went 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to think of this. With the overall talent at the TE position we could see a lot of people hang out and wait I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer they don't propose or offer trades like First Pick It finally appears to have been fixed. I imagine at some point they will add in the trade function. I do like the first draft I was able to pull off... Rd 1: iOL Chris Lindstrom (Boston College) Rd 2: LB Devin Bush, Jr (Michigan) Rd 3: OT Michael Deiter (Wisconsin) Rd 4: TE Dax Raymond (Utah St) Rd 6: WR Parris Campbell (Ohio St) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the overall talent at the TE position we could see a lot of people hang out and wait I guess. NFL teams just have not put a high level of value on the TE position when it comes to the draft. In the last 10 years, only one tight end (Eric Ebron) has been drafted before the 19th pick. And only eight have been drafted in the 1st round all together. Expand that out over the last 15 years, and of the 15 TEs drafted in the 1st round, an additional two TEs (Kellen Winslow and Vernon Davis) have been drafted in the top half of the 1st round. So, unless Hockenson showcases some elite level athleticism at the combine, I just don’t think he’s the explosive playmaker at the position to get him drafted in the top 20.

Spending this much time around middle schoolers has basically turned me back into one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cearbhall Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Iirc, arm length is more important in a zone blocking scheme and angle blocking scheme than a power man because the guy that gets his arms on the other guy first is more likely to win the battle as the linemen move in their zone. Under 34 inches should be a ding the Vikings scouts note assuming they are targeting zone blockers. That said, half an inch shouldn't knock the guy off their board as a tackle prospect by any means.
