Vikings Message Board.Com

Spielman after saying "Call it in" gives kind of a shrug. What was that? Looked like a "What the hell" gesture. Who knows, that could've meant several different things. Maybe he was a little surprised that it only took the 4th round pick to move up and that was some modest swagg...

Yet another sign that Haslam is a meddler. Poor Browns.

The Vikings have a new stadium opening up in two years and everything...tickets, concessions, parking probably...will be more expensive than fans are accustomed to. If Peterson is still producing they would be fools to get rid of him. IIRC, if he keeps up his pace he'll be cracking the top 10 in all...

Bridge water is the second concern. his pro day was so bad ?? can he handle pressure ? Yes, his pro day was bad but don't put so much into it. The media coverage has amplified that into a bigger deal than it really is. Are you really going to give that ONE day more importance than three years worth...

ESPN's coverage was abysmal Big time. I watched the first half of round 1 on NFLN before my stream crapped out so I quickly had to find a different one, which unfortunately was ESPN. It was a stark contrast. The NFLN crew gels pretty well, even if Michael Irvin gets annoying at times (he still make...

We wanted the 22nd pick. It doesn't mean we wanted Manziel. This. Somebody caught wind that the Vikings were talking to the Eagles about a trade and then the Browns swooped in to snag it away and took Manziel. So that person reported something true and then added in a little speculation. I find it ...

I'm happy with it. We need some athleticism at LB. Zimmer was made coach to be a hands on molding player kind of guy. This could be great. Definitely. LB has been a big disappointment for many years so they needed to get a playmaker in there. I'm confident that Zimmer will turn him into something s...

Yeah, it's just one spot. Ya, wish it would've been more but really, can't expect much for a move like that. Wow, unexpected pick from the Browns. Gilbert. So that means the Vikings weren't going after him. I wonder if this extra 5th means it's more likely that we trade back into the bottom of the ...

They all have communications degrees, of course!

A little under two hours to the start of the draft and I just want to get this out of the way now: already sick of Deion Sanders. Haven't watched any pre-draft stuff but I'm sure he'll be up there, like every year, sticking a mic in these kid's faces and asking them these weird passive-aggressive qu...

dead_poet wrote:has any team traded back in the first round and then traded back again?

I could be wrong but I think the Patriots did this a few years ago...? Traded down to the bottom of rd 1 and then did it again. They had a boatload of 2nd/3rd round picks. Anyone else remember this? I'm too lazy to research

Please please please don't trade for bradford. Especially don't trade our #1 pick for him, or any picks at all. Draft a QB. Bradford had one decent year. A Very BAD gamble Has he had any decent talent around him in St. Louis? Not much for receivers or RBs and haven't they had problems with their of...

I think his substance issue has been with alcohol, not pot. He's had multiple DUIs

Too bad they didn't get Miami at home at the end of December, always nice to bring those warm weather teams up north late in the year. The cold could be a factor on nov 30 at home against Carolina, but other than that all our home opponents in late season are used to winterball. Do you think the sch...

Patriots - Brady Steelers - Roethlesburger Detroit - Johnson Saints - Brees Some teams it seems like the coach/owner is the face of the franchise: Jets - Rex Ryan Cowboys - Jerry Jones 49ers - Harbaugh Peterson is just the biggest marquis name on the Vikings. It doesn't feel to me like it's "hi...
