solidvikingfan Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 To have a pure hindsight take we probably should have expected a big trade down when the guys we were mostly having for pre draft visits weren't guys who were perceived as 12th overall options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder if the values are kinda skewed also because of the plateau of talent in this particular draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I've rebooted and trying to be positive. Draft is always a crap shoot...remember Treadwell in the 1st round? I mean, we just never know who the players are going to be, no matter when they are selected, rt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we believe what they've been saying we're only a couple pieces away so why not take the best player that plays one of those positions? Man someone make it make sense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We traded out of an area right before the drop off. Makes it even worse. Had a chance at Hamilton or Williams or Davis... now going to end up with a guy who could easily be bunched in with 3rd rounders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, but we REALLY need a CB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once that season starts though its Minnesota vs EVERYBODY 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I've never been that high on Hamilton or Davis...and Williams isn't going to play until midseason. In fact, the guy I projected the Vikings to take at 12 is still on the board.

AP_allday2869 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 The Bears give up a future 1st to trade up 11 spots, and all we get is a 3rd round pick to move back 20 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams at mid season (which is by far worst case scenario) is far more of an immediate impact player this season than whoever we will draft at 32 and 100x the impact going forward. Not only did we not draft him but we let him go to an in conference rival. If Kwesi was going to blatantly blow the draft I wish we would've helped someone in the AFC.
