vikesfan89 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 It seems like they weren't set on drafting an o-lineman round 1 but I'm glad it worked out this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticNorseman Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I like this pick. Darrisaw's played well against pretty good competition, so I hope he can keep it up against the big boys. Relegating the Smith Brothers and Mack to non-impacting stat lines would be a refreshing change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) No team in the NFL has invested more 1st and 2nd rd picks in offensive linemen over the last 4 years. Edited April 30, 2021 by swede700 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, were finally getting close, right? They missed on Elflein . . . Hit on O'Neill and Cleveland, and Bradbury will come around. If they pick two OGs this year with Darrisaw, considering Hill and Udoh, the percentages play out, don't they? Ultimately, the 2021 O-Line needs to continue its effective run blocking, but improve on pass pro to be top-10. That, to me, becomes a unit we need performing at a level expected of championship caliber teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadyToThump Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Great pick for the Vikings. Probably couldn't have had a more fitting player fall into your lap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc_vikingfan Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Great pick. As much as I believe Ezra is a LT, Darrisaw is simply a better player. Also he add size which is something I wanted to add to the OL. Rick had me nervous with the trade back. AVT while good never felt like he was worth #14.

SemperFeist Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 The reports about the Vikings trying to trade up for Slater, and then eventually drafting Darrisaw seem like solid evidence that the Vikings have always seen Ezra Cleveland as a guard.

skywindO2 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 8 hours ago, SemperFeist said: According to the aggregate big board, Christian Darrisaw was the #1 player available when the Vikings were on the clock. At 14. It was a ballsy move to trade down, but it looks great! I certainly would have been happy to take him at 14 so the trade down is great. With those extra 3rd, I'm expecting a move up into the 2nd now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshpit23 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I think we move up into the second, too. But what position/player will we target, OG, S, WR, DE? If I had to be pressed to guess, I’d go with DE. ...Dang, I wish I could see the Viking’s big board! regardless, outta be an exciting night.
