Not interested in Jones but would definitely like Jordan or Weber as long as it's not too early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saosin Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 After much consideration, the Vikings should really look at trading back and acquiring more picks. The DT and interior OL class this year is massive enough to be able to afford to do so. Plus there are so many quality players in other positions as well like CB and S that are part of this class that are mid-round starters. Would really love to see Bradbury, Lindstrom and/or McCoy drafted in the first 2-3 rounds for us. then after that go for one of the top 10 DTs. We should be able to get one in the 2nd or 3rd round that is 1st round talent due to other teams needs and how loaded the DT class is. It will really be interesting to see if someone like Devin White for instance drops due to teams need for QB if we went BPA due to talent alone. Him on the opposite side of Barr would be monstrous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the market is going to be as robust as you think it'll be. Last year, the Packers dealt a 3rd round pick to move up from 27 to 18. The Bills gave up a 3rd round pick to move from 22 to 16. Given how quickly OL tend to go off the board, you're running the risk that the OL run happens sooner rather than later. Just at quick glance, Tennessee, Seattle, Baltimore, Houston, and Eagles figure to be in the market for OL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't get cute and try to pick up a mid-rounder and hope our guy falls to us. If this truly is our best "window" at a super bowl, we need to stay put and take the best OL there at 18 unless 6 go before us or something ridiculous like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikestyle Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 How do people feel about Bobby Evans? I've liked the couple games I've watched of his. Wouldn't mind him at all as our mid-round developmental tackle if we go with a pure IOL early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't likely going to be able to trade back in the first and still get the guy they want, considering Seattle and Houston are right behind them. Save the trading back for the 2nd or 3rd round to pick up more mid to late-round picks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say some top guy Falls they really want, and we take him at 18, and the guy you thought you were going to pick slides past them, you can move up.... I mean, that’s how it works with every trade up in the draft. Whether the player is Little, Bradberry, Lindstrom, Risner, there will be plenty of options around that could be available at the end of the 1st/top of the 2nd. The one advantage you get by 1st is still that 5th year option, the very tail end is where I would be maybe looking to “reach” to lock up a 5th year option on a future tackle.

I could get behind that if Little starts to fall, assuming that's who you're talking about. Would you let him RS his rookie year or get him on the field right away by sliding Reiff inside?

VikeManDan Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Do we want to start up the Vikings annual 1st round mock? We're 35 days away from round 1 kicking off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we probably wouldn't have much of a choice; we'd have to move Reiff inside. If we took an IOL at 18 then traded up into the end of the first for Little we'd probably redshirt him.

Then they can target guys with position need in the next 2 rounds and trade back if need be. There will be a future Hall of Fame player available at our pick we just need to make sure we find him and select him.

SemperFeist Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 As much as I like Hockenson, there are so many good options at TE in this draft. No way am I spending a 1st round pick on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
