Ozzy Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Or it could be like this... and nothing ever happens and we lose out on guys  2021 Micah Parsons the 12th pick and Rashawn Slater the 13th pick. Either one of those two guys would have been ideal of course and Vikings just missed out of Slater. If the Chargers did not take him the Vikings could have easily and think how different things could have been.  But it is a decent spot, there will be some super star elite level talent that falls and the Vikings will be just sitting there if they do.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take a QB or 2 going ahead but I think it could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we want edge, Ojabo would be the one we'd have a shot at. 12 seems to be the sweet spot for CBs Gardner and Booth though. Hamilton from ND is my pipe dream, doubt that happens.

Karlaftis I have as late 1st or early 2nd, not sure he is athletic enough or has enough upside to be drafted 12th overall. Depends on how he works out, doubt he will blow up or anything athletically. Ojabo is most likely gone though along with the other top two edge rushers so Leal or Travon Walker might be the only two around at that point.   12 minutes ago, battle2heaven said: I don't think he does.

Not sure Ojabo falls that far with the Giants needing a edge guy and the Falcons and Denver do as well. Gardner for sure I would take but Booth, I feel it might be a little high for him unless he shows some great athletic ability and runs some great 40 time which I doubt.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric dunn Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Im on the Matt Corral hype train. Anyone else high on Corral? IF we select a QB in round 1. BUT waiting till the end of round 1 or the top of round 2 could be the ticket this year. To me, a few guys will slip to that range that probably have as much potential as the top guy. Right now for me its: 1. Matt Corral 2. Carson Strong 3. Kenny Pickett (small hands?) 4. Sam Howell 5. Malik Willis (highest potential?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopherwrestler Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 What position do you think the Vikings should absolutely not draft in the first round this year? What is the #1 position of need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to find it since last night, but when was the last player that tore his ACL in the previous at a skill position to still be drafted in the 1st round? Free football for anybody that can answer that.

Didn't Jeffery Simmons tear an ACL or something his last year in college?  I know he's not a skill position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Â I could see a team taking him late Day 1, but Day 2 seems more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I know he's not a skill position. If I could give you a half a football I would. But yes, he did... I believe between that and his off the field issues were the reason he wasn't a top 10 pick and up there with Ed Oliver. Honestly there was plenty of people on this site that still had him higher ranked than Oliver and almost everyone was high on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back the last 20 or so years and I don't recall any skill position with a season-ending injury being taken in the first round when you knew they were going to be out for the year. Â Usually, it's only QBs that teams are willing to punt the rookie years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
