RpMc Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Anyone else thoroughly entertained at the notion that Jerry Jones is by himself during the draft, and have it be a much simpler process to ignore the thoughts of his front office. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I guess expect him to take a WR in the first round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I worked for him and he was essentially begging another GM to do his job for him, I'd never be able to respect him lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 38 minutes ago, RpMc said: Vikings First Round PicksSince Spielman took over full GM duties in 2012 2012 - Matt Kalil (early entrant) - Harrison Smith2013 - Sharrif Floyd, Xavier Rhodes, Cordarrelle Patterson (all early entrants)2014 - Anthony Barr - Teddy Bridgewater (early entrant)2015 - Trae Waynes (early entrant)2016 - Laquon Treadwell (early entrant)2017 - no pick2018 - Mike Hughes (early entrant)2019 - Garrett Bradbury ------ I bring this up because the Vikings first round picks in the past have skewed toward underclassmen (all three corners have been), and Jeff Gladney, who I'd be perfectly happy with, is quite a bit older than the other corners who are rumored to be in consideration for the first round. He'll be 24 before his rookie season ends WOW. As I look at this, I would think that Spielman's best 1st rounds were 2012 and 2014. He does a much better job of getting quality in rounds 2,3 and 4. Maybe someone else should make the 1st round choices for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this be the hold-up in the potential trade for TW? The Viking's FO might want to see if they can draft one of the top 4 OT prospects and, if failing to do so, would then be willing to trade for TW?

Imagine if Floyd and Bridgewater didn't have freak accidents. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's generally done well with the 1st round, outside of the glaring Treadwell pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Kiper potentially has Ruggs available at 22, do you take him? It's the kind of speed we don't have, and would likely fit well in with the play-action shot game that Cousins has excelled in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If hes there at 22 I definitely can see someone trying to jump in front of the Patriots to take him. Possibly the Colts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would fill the D-Jax roll really well, and would allow Theilen to do his thing inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
