Heimdallr Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 6'2" and 4.37..... I've never seen him play but it sounds like he can run and hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikesfan89 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Looked like the viking fans had no idea who he is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wundy Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I don't get it, analytics GM who is supposed to understand positional value trades down massively and skips over an assumed generational safety, the best wr, best dt, and best QB in this draft to draft a safety and only accumulates a 3rd for next year? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 100% fine with this pick (assuming Willis is still on the board at 34), but yeah the trade down was rough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3rd this year. Either way, this spot is exactly where this position should be valued. Harrison Smith was taken at #29. While it may not be a "sexy" pick, I like what I've seen and read about him thus far. And those "best"s you speak of wouldn't be bests in any of the other drafts in the last 3 years. I am hoping that this Georgia safety turns out better than the last one the VIkings drafted, who I had high hopes for...Greg Blue (I even had a sig of him in the old version of the Forum). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrplChilPill Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I am not excited. Mostly because the trade was terrible, not necessarily the pick ... . I admit,I have no idea if this player will be good... Also, several drinks in saying goodbye to my neighbor who is moving.... So, hope to be wrong about this trade! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP_allday2869 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Trying to be positive, but he has a ton of speed and isn't afraid to lower his shoulder and lay a hit. We definitely could use some speed on our defense, and Smith won't be here for ever. Cine is the heir to Smith. One of Booth or Gordon will be there for us tomorrow, and I would be fine with either of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
