VikeManDan Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I want nothing to do with Harris. He had an awful Senior Bowl week and seems to have gotten pushed around way to much for my liking. We need guards with a stronger anchor without sacrificing a ton of mobility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hennessy in particular is one of the best movers on the interior in the draft. I was going to respond but you beat me to it. Robert Hunt also played RT and has enough movement skills to excel at guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's better than TDN but having the free trades option is fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's free, including trades and gives you a grade in typical PFF fashion. Am I missing something? It goes zooming right past my pick.

Nelson Agholor Jonathan Baldwin Odell Beckham Jr Kelvin Benjamin Justin Blackmon Marquise Brown Dez Bryant Corey Coleman Brandin Cooks Amari Cooper Mike Evans Will Fuller AJ Green N'Keal Harry DeAndre Hopkins Julio Jones DJ Moore Breshad Perriman John Ross III Demaryius Thomas Laquon Treadwell Sammy Watkins Mike Williams Seems the hit rate is still better on juniors as opposed to seniors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWinfield26 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 The more I think about the current state of our oline the more I want the Vikings to spend both 1st rounders on OL. I hope the Vikings will be able to trade back with someone for Ruiz but if we have to take him at 25 its not too much of a reach. This team will not get anywhere close to the Super Bowl unless we first fix this problem that we have ignored for years. It was hard to watch the games vs the Bears, Packers and 49ers were the OL got manhandled. To me OL is top priority for us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was hard to watch the games vs the Bears, Packers and 49ers were the OL got manhandled. To me OL is top priority for us. They aren't going to spend two first round picks on offensive lineman. The argument that they've ignored the offensive line for years is one that comes up a lot, and is not based in reality. They've spent a first, second, or third round pick on the line the last three years (three picks on the line last year), shelled out contracts for players like Riley Reiff, Mike Remmers, Alex Boone, and Josh Klein while being in on players like Kelechi Osemele and Rick Wagner before they signed elsewhere. The problem hasn't been asset allocation, it's been the players they've spent the assets on and the changing of offensive line coaches, priorities, and schemes that rely on different types of line players.

NorthCountryEvo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Thoughts on Javon Leake-RB Maryland as a late round pick? I could see him pushing Abdullah off the roster. He's not much of an interior runner despite his listed size, but he has some big time playmaker ability and he was a returner for Maryland with 3 TD's in his career. Think we should dip back 5th round or later to see if if the Terps have another diamond in the rough for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a problem area for many years. I wouldn't want to force the issue so much that I wouldn't consider other things in the first round but if they were able to use those first two picks to address the offensive line it would be great. Any offensive linemen that I considered a top two round talent I would consider at picks 22 and 25. I would only hope to get them via trading back if I was confident another team would not take them in the interim. All that said, they can't ignore an elite talent at other important positions for a guy they consider a top 50 pick. Odds are, there will not be any elite talents at important positions by pick 22.

Uncle Buck Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) I'm not sure if this link is going to work. I got it off of Facebook and it is a video of Denzel Mims saying that he is a Vikings fan. Makes me want us to draft him all the more! https://www.facebook.com/Skolnation1985/videos/2700367463424718 Edited April 9, 2020 by Uncle Buck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalMind Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 100% OL is the top priority for me. I'm not saying both 1st need to be OL, but at least one 1st for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
