The Gnat Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Alright, draft day is upon us, let's see those final guesses for the Vikings draft, you can do overall or you can do just in round one, or as many picks as you want. But let's really see who we got the Vikings taking in round one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 My draft predictions: 1. Chris Lindstrom I think Bradbury goes before us by a few picks, and Lindstrom ends up being the choice. 2. Charles Omenihu 3. Trayvon Mullen 4. Bobby Evans 6. Ben Burr-Kirven 6. Ryan Finley 7. Tyler Jones 7. KeeSean Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 As indicated by mock, Bradbury is the guy for me. I don't think there's any way that you can take Lindstrom at #18. He's not the Ragnow of this draft, who was drafted only about 10-12 spots early. Taking Lindstrom at #18 would be taking him about 25 picks early. He's not a first round player. If every high-level OL target is gone and their OL options left are Lindstrom and Risner, they'd be better off taking one of the high-level DTs than taking either one of them. As far as my guesses for the other rounds, Round 2 will go the way of defense, if Bradbury is taken in Rd 1, as I expect. I'd like it to be Dexter Lawrence, but the other option I like Charles Omenihu, just as Gnat does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I hate going with the crowd, but Bradbury just makes too much sense for this football team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Plissken Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I think the team like Dillard as he plays, LT, Williams as he can play almost any position, and Bradbury as an interior scheme fit. I'd guess Dillard and Williams are gone and Bradbury is the pick. The only likely players/positions I could see of them passing on OL for would be Wilkens and Hockenson. Anybody else (like Gary or Fant), I lock up OL (our obvious biggest need) and can take more BPAs rounds 2-7. Not taking an OL in round 1 means the team is chasing that position later in the draft. Maybe it would work in round 2 or 3, or maybe not and the team is reaching or trading up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 i think the Vikings beat the run on offensive lineman and move up for Jonah Williams. i think in very atypical Spielman style, he deals a lot of picks and ends up drafting very few players. highly unlikely actually, but i was discussing this with Spiel's wife the other night, and she agrees.

swede700 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 So, you're saying this is a repeat of 2008/2009, when they only had 5 picks each year? If that's the case, I'd hope it'd be more 2009 (Harvin and Loadholt) than 2008 (Tyrell Johnson and JD Booty...and John Sullivan) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDakViking Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Will be Bradbury or Risner after William's and Dillard are gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I have a gut feeling we see a minor trade down in round 1. With that being said I do agree with the consensus I think Bradbury makes too much sense scheme and value wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I'm betting 3-4 really good OL are on the board and we trade down 5-10 spots. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I'm guessing the first pick will be in the trenches. I wouldn't completely rule out a pass rusher, but odds are they go OL. Bradbury, Lindstrom or Risner are probably most likely. I think they stay put at 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kparty15 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I’m really hoping we can get either Jonah Williams or Andre Dillard in the draft, but my sleeper pick is Rashan Gary. Gary has top 5 talent, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him drop for a number of reasons. If he’s there at 18 then I think he could be the surprise defensive player picked in the first round.
