If the WR was better than the OL or DL? Absolutely. 

How many people criticized the Jefferson pick because it wasn’t OL? Would you rather have Jefferson? Or would you rather have Cesar Ruiz, or Isaiah Wilson?

They already have Jefferson on this roster........so, I'll ask again, how do you plan to fix the OL, DL, and other positions? Or is next year a punt year for you?

Step 1: Hope NFL sets cap at $195M.

Step 2: Cut Rudy and Reiff.

Step 3: Lure Scherff/Thuney to MN with lucrative deal.

Step 4: Draft BPA OL at 14.

Step 5: Profit?

Cleveland-Rookie/Scherff/Thuney-Bradbury-Rookie/Scherff/Thuney-O'Neill

You still haven't answered the question.......they have no 2nd. Their best defensive players are all old or missed significant time with injury last year. Significant. How many starting OL has this FO drafted past round 2 that were even serviceable? Picks after round three or four are not likely to be starters at all.

The Vikes are a young team and will obviously be relying on many players from last years class to make a big leap like Dantzler, Wonnum, Lynch, Hand. Will see how it plays out but there’s a decent number of players who could emerge from that class to lessen some of the needs going forward. I think finding immediate contributors in the first and third rounds will be crucial, similar to the 2020 class. This team desperately needs a Jefferson type immediate impact from a rookie on the defensive side of the ball. Throw in a better OL too.

Whatever happened to him? Wasn't he being viewed as a 1st rounder last year? Or am I mistaken?

He is there, just other guys like Mayfield and Carman have over taken him.  But Alaric Jackson is good, had a good season and could be a decent LT or could maybe even switch to guard if asked.  He has ability and should be a 2nd or 3rd round pick at worst.  Will see what he does at the senior bowl, see if he can show out as the 2nd best OT there behind Leatherwood or will Eichenberg, Hudson, Dan Moore Jr or Radunz over take him and out play him.

There doesn't seem to be much hype for Amari Rodgers. Why?

I know before the season started that Justyn Ross was the #1 guy there but Rodgers is very good!

Because there are at least 15 or more receivers better than him in this draft.  Terrace Marshall Jr, Seth Williams, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sage Surratt and Tylan Wallace I would take over Amari Rodgers and none of them are even 1st rounders most likely.  Amari Rodgers is good and has a chance in the league to be a good pro, but is not elite and honestly that WR core on Clemson this year was pretty suspect.  Powell played great as a senior but even he is so so.  Rodgers has good make you miss ability and footwork and could be a steal if put in the right situation.

This team, as of right now, has only 1 pick in the 1st round. You can’t fill all of the holes on the roster with that one pick. And the worst thing you can do with that pick is take a lesser player because he happens to play a position of need. That’s just doing a disservice to your roster. The reality is that, except for running back, there isn’t a position that this team could pass on an upgrade

This team is getting 4 starters back next season on defense. That helps considerably. And, as VR stated, the team will be looking for continued growth and production from 2nd and 3rd year players. On the offense you’re really only looking for one player along the offensive line, and while they haven’t had much success at finding o-line beyond round 2, that doesn’t mean you reach for one in the first two rounds, or stop trying to find one in the mid or late rounds.

True one should not reach but as the board is playing out currently, all the top OL will be long gone before the Vikings pick round 3.  Not sure if they selection one it will be a reach at all, most of those top end OL are all around the mid to late 1st round range or early 2nd round range.  So if they pass on one, the chances of them getting a great player in round 3 on the OL are pretty damn slim.  

 

I have these guys in that mid 3rd round range or early 4th round range.  If they like these guys then it could be fine. There are a few interesting OL prospects here no question and a few that could be great in the system.  But are they better than who they passed on, I doubt it but at least it is a deep group overall.

Landon Dickerson Alabama RS SR C
Cole Van Lanen Wisconsin RS SR OT
Dan Moore Jr Texas A&M SR OT/OG
Deonte Brown Alabama RS JR OG
Thayer Munford Ohio State JR OT
Trey Hill Georgia JR C
Royce Newman Ole Miss RS SR OG
Tommy Kraemer Notre Dame RS SR OG

 

Getting Barmore over a OL I would be fine with.  Getting Gregory Rousseau if he works out well I would be fine with or if any WR or QB drops but doubt they do.  So it is OL or DL and that is it really.  Unless they want to can Anthony Harris so getting Jevon Holland or Richard LeCounte III or Trevon Moehrig makes a ton of sense.  Sadly they should have probably never signed Anthony Harris this last year and drafted Antoine Winfield Jr 1st round based on how he played this season and did not take Gladney.  I like Gladney but Winfield Jr looks like he could be a stud for 10 years or more at safety if he can stay healthy.  Gladney has some toughness though and fights hard so he will be good but Winfield Jr already is a star arguably.  

 

Wyatt Davis looks like the pick at this point though, solid and stable and even though the offense sure on paper was good that pass pro is flat awful and a joke and protecting the QB after he got killed this past year should be a #1 priority.  

 

 

Mike Remmers had a 92% pass blocking win rate as an OT this year, which was 10th in the NFL.  That is nuts, the guy was awful for us, put him on the Chiefs with an athletic smart QB and a great HC in Andy Reid and the guy looks great.  Did get beat a few times against Myles Garrett that I saw on the weekend but still he is playing great considering what he looked like at guard for the Vikings.  Possibly that stat is deceptive because he did not play nearly as many snaps as the other guys on the list.  Then again he started 10 games and the #1 guy on the list Whitworth started only 9 games.  

 

Interesting stat Brian O'Neill had the best tackle rate for run blocking at 81%.  Great for him.  

Vikings as a team were 3rd to last in pass rushing win rate on defense at only 36%.  They were 18th in the NFL in pass blocking win rate at 56%.  Oddly enough the run blocking win rate was only 70% and that ranked 21st overall which is not great.  

 

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29939464/2020-nfl-pass-rushing-run-stopping-blocking-leaderboard-win-rate-rankings

 

 

According to PFF the Vikings were 28th best pass blocking OL in the NFL, so yeah OL should be the #1 draft need.  Wow.  Interior is bad news, but Cleveland sadly did well for a LT playing guard despite his struggles at times.  

 

"26. MINNESOTA VIKINGS

The offensive line has been an issue for multiple years now in Minnesota, and it remains one following a 2020 season where they graded out as the 28th-best pass-blocking offensive line in the NFL. Once again, it was the interior of the offensive line where most of the issues popped up.

Ezra Cleveland’s 6.9% pressure rate allowed ranked 37th out of 40 qualifying right guards in his first year at guard after starting three seasons as Boise State’s left tackle. In that same vein, Garrett Bradbury’s 5.1% pressure rate allowed ranked 34th out of 36 qualifying centers, and Dakota Dozier’s pressure rate allowed of 8.0% ranked 36th out of 39 qualifying left guards. None of their three starters on the interior cracked the top 32 at their respective position."

I knew the interior was bad but those stats are horrendous.  Are any of those prospects you listed particularly well suited for ZBS?

Those guys I listed are just some who could be around 3rd round but that could also not be the case as well.  Newman, Moore and maybe Hill could be in a zone blocking scheme but all would have to be a guard, Moore played OT at A&M and Hill C.  

 

All these guys could play as a OT in a zone blocking scheme possibly in terms of athletic ability.

Penei Sewell Oregon JR
Rashawn Slater Northwestern
Alex Leatherwood Alabama
Jackson Carman Clemson JR
Jalen Mayfield Michigan RS SOPH
Christian Darrisaw Virginia Tech JR
Dillon Radunz NDSU RS
Alijah Vera-Tucker USC RS JR
Walker Little Stanford
Liam Eichenberg Notre Dame RS
Samuel Cosmi Texas RS JR
Alaric Jackson Iowa RS
James Hudson Cincinnati RS JR
Dan Moore Jr Texas A&M
Devery Hamilton Duke RS

 

 

All these guys could play OG in a zone blocking scheme, many are OTs in college who could convert possibly

Wyatt Davis Ohio State RS JR
Alex Leatherwood Alabama
Alijah Vera-Tucker USC RS JR
Christian Darrisaw Virginia Tech JR
Josh Myers Ohio State RS JR
Alaric Jackson Iowa RS
Landon Dickerson Alabama RS
Royce Newman Ole Miss RS*
Dan Moore Jr Texas A&M*
Conner Olson Minnesota RS*

 

 

These centers could play in one I feel but Hill might be a stretch, Humphrey might be the best suited for it.  Dickerson maybe could as well possibly but Myers is probably not athletic enough.

Landon Dickerson Alabama RS
Creed Humphrey Oklahoma RS JR
Trey Hill Georgia JR

 

It is hard to say though and based on recent Vikings draft they got just based on the athletic potential of the OL prospects.  Bradbury, Cleveland and O'Neill all timed out great in the 40 and some other drills.  But all have their issues, at least O'Neill is dominant in something based on those stats in terms of run blocking, Bradbury is good at moving and blocking down field but is not very good at much else and Cleveland is a LT and not strong enough to play guard really.

 

The most athletic OL in the draft would be Penei Sewell and Rashawn Slater is my guess.  Wyatt Davis not sure he times out great as a OG which could knock him down the Vikings board but will see.  Jalen Mayfield could be impressive in the physical testing and I assume Samuel Cosmi will have a good 40 time.

I like Landon Dickerson as a mid round option. He's not athletic like Bradbury/Ezra but would add some size/power on the interior. Also, he can play both OG/OC. I really want Twyman his quickness is so incredible.  Barmore is another great option but will probably cost a 1st. Interior pressure offensively and defensively are the biggest issues of this team to me.

I notice that none of the interior offensive linemen have any of your commentary next to their names?  Does that mean you think none of them are good for the Vikings, or that you believe the Vikings don't need interior linemen?
