Wow...panic mode by the Saints, dang.

Low key big blow to the team's plans imo

I believe that’s why they were looking into Kline.

of course they want to keep their own with Easton, they know just as well as anyone about his rehab, but that putting way to much in a guy that hasn’t played that much at all.

Yeah I am glad the Vikings didn't touch that. 

Nice comp pick coming back too 

Until he gets released before Week 10...kidding.  But in reality, it's probably somewhere on that 5th/6th round fringe range.  Probably closer to what @gopherwrestler said in that it's protection for the Sheldon Richardson pick.

It's weird how every year, the IOL are too expensive, or not BPA..... Every year.

It is weird. It's almost like there is a league wide shortage of good OL causing OL to consistently be signed to bad contracts and be overdrafted.

Are you wanting the Vikings to sign a guy who has had back to back season ending injuries, one being a serious neck injury, to a 4 year 24 million dollar deal? Who was likely going to be competing for a starting job anyway.

There is a shortage. How many good OLs are there really? It fluctuates so much year to year.

Rick Spielman started working with the Vikings in 2006. The Vikings have had 14 first round picks in his tenure. There have been 7 offensive picks and 7 defensive.

Offense:

AP- Great Pick

Percy Harvin- Had a few good years

Christian Ponder- Bust

Matt Kalil- Bust

Cordarrelle Patterson- Bust

Teddy Bridgewater- Can't grade due to injury

Laquon- Bust

 

Defense:

Greenway- great pick

Harrison Smith- great pick

Sharrif Floyd- can't grade due to injury

Xavier Rhodes- great pick

Anthony Barr- good pick

Trae Waynes- good pick

Hughes- too early to tell

 

Throughout Spielmans tenure, we have "hit" on 5/6 if you count Floyd as a bust (and not counting Hughes yet). On offense we have hit on 2/7.
