vikingsrule Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I'd say top needs are: 1. DT - Stephen and Johnson are FAs 2. OG - Berger probably retires, I'd like to see Easton and Isidora compete at LG and a new RG added 3. CB - Waynes future is uncertain, could add another potential starter to the rotation 4. S - Sendejo is solid, should be able to start for another year or two. Depth should be improved, I don't think Harris or Kearse have starting potential 5. RB - Cook's recovery is a question mark, Murray is ineffective, McKinnon is decent at best and a FA I think CB and DT are both priority draft needs. Could use youth over veteran experience. Though if Suh is available, that is tempting, the front seven would be insane. if MN has FA money to spend, I'd like to find a solid OG. Maybe Justin Pugh of NY. im assuming Teddy or Bradford are starting In 2018 and Keenum returns as the backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpMc Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Looks like we could potentially have two more late round picks to play around with this spring https://twitter.com/nickkorte/status/930091143122972672 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrynoid Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 My draft priorities would be BPA at the following positions: DT, G, S. What would our defense be like with a dominant 3-tech sandwiched between Linval and Everson? Likewise with S, especially since we lack depth there. Our playing better than expected o-line could also use a stud at G, or T if one is available but since LT's in particular are over-valued, we might be getting a better player at G since the tackles will be picked over by the time we pick in the first round. After our first 3 picks, depth/future starters at CB top the list since we often use 3 on obvious passing downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Are people confident enough in the depth of this team to make an aggressive move in the draft, this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalMind Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I think I really want to add another top offensive lineman in round 1. We've seen what God OL play can do to QB comfort and aggressiveness. Ideally a LT who can play RT, and kick Remmers into RG, to replace Berger due to retirement. I can wait for a round 2 DT who will be rotated in\out in a Zimmer defense. CB is a position that is useful, Newman might be done and we need to replenish, Waynes future is uncertain. That's a 3rd need. *Assuming no significant QB needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Remmers has earned being the starting RT going forward but I wouldn't be opposed to moving him if there is great value at Tackle in rd 1. Id like to see Isidora and Easton compete at LG with a set new starter at RG. DT can probably be had later. I'd bring Stephen back as a base UT and backup NT, until Jaleel is ready. I'd like to find a younger version of Tom Johnson in the draft. A nickel pass rusher who might be able to develop into a starter. After that I see a lot of depth needs.

I’m not confident that the 1st round offers the best value regarding o-lineman. Personal opinion, but I’d rarely draft an offensive lineman in the first round. The 2nd/3rd round seems to get you the best value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of QB and OG, I don't see any glaring needs so I'm fine with a late first round OL. I'd prefer a 2nd or 3rd round DT given Zimmers track record at the position. I hope Teddy, Keenum and Sloter are back in 2018 and QB isn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalMind Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 If I remember the most impactful positions are the best for round 1 dvd include QB, DL, OL, Rush OLB, DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
