And Gladney is scum. I don't think Spielman has ever traded up in the first round. He has traded back into it. I'd prefer an OT if they trade up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was optimistic he could have competed as a boundary CB, just wanted to see the best three take the top 3 spots and not be so penciled into a role. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd prefer an OT if they trade up With my limited knowledge, I would suggest that they can trade down and still get a good OL. The Vikings also have 2 thirds and 4 fourths, so they should have some mobility if they decide they want a player in the second. I'm thinking get an extra 4th by moving down to about 20, then trade a third and 2 4ths for a second. I don't know the draft chart values, so don't kill me on that. The Vikings have 10 picks, as the roster stands right now, do you think they need 10 new players? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I agree, the Vikes should explode trade down options and package some picks to move back into the top 50. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't be against trading down either but if 1 of the top lineman are within range I'd like to move up. Moving down is more likely though. Just off the top of my head, they could use 3 OL, 1DE, 2 safeties, 1 CB, 1TE, 1WR, And 1LB to get to 10 players. Some positions they could double up on to have competition in camp and to fill out the practice squad. With Spielman, I wouldn't be surprised if they draft more than 10 players Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With Spielman, I wouldn't be surprised if they draft more than 10 players I probably should have worded that a little better. Do you guys think that 10 draft picks would make the roster? The Packers also have 10 picks, I don't see all 10 making the roster, if we select 10 players. We also need an OT. And I have looked, with my admittedly amateurs' lens, and I really like our odds of getting one that can play in the first or second. Perhaps I am gauging the draft incorrectly, but I think the Vikings can still get a premium OT by trading down a little. I also think they could have a pretty good shot at a good OL if they get back into the second round ahead of the Packers and Chiefs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He likes to throw as many darts as he can. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they trade up, it better be for Sewell. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's a problem in the NFL and with professional football players, in general, and it's really pathetic. People need to start talking about it more.

It happens way more in the NFL. Probably just down to the fact that hockey is a much more expensive sport to play and isn't something that most schools even offer. You get a much higher chance of getting a scumbag into the NFL than the NHL. Is what it is. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
