Vikings picks bolded, this isn't who you think will be drafted where, but best to worse players in the top 25. Feel free to copy my numbers and save yourself some typing.

Are we ranking it from a Vikings perspective, OR just our top 25 players.

Yes, because that would clearly vary the rankings, because the Vikings have absolutely no shot at Chase Young, Tua or Burrow...or several others.

Someone has an awfully high opinion of Cleveland and Austin Jackson.  

[CriminalMind]

Big Board, meaning based on talent, or based on where you think they will ultimately get drafted?
I'm guessing you mean based on talent (in a bubble)

Yes indeed.  If we are running this move-Oline scheme I'd think they'll keep going athletic.

As for Ezra Cleveland, if you look at his profile it sounds awfully similar to Brian O'Neil.  Super fast 40 time and perceived issue with strength (although both put up high reps at 225) But if this is what knocks him down for other teams surely the Vikings won't care.  Also, Cleveland just sounds like he has flat-line character.  Comparisons to David Bahkatari in terms of pass protection.  I'm in.

Jackson just has really nice upside being so young and playing the start of the year with two holes in his hips.  Could play guard for a year or two if needed.  Both guys left tackles though.

I'm fine with Ezra, although I certainly wouldn't put him that high.  As far as Jackson, if you had been here over the past few weeks, I'm not all high on him.  I personally wouldn't put him in the top 50, let alone top 25.
