Paul Allen just said he was told at the combine if Vikings don't go oline at 23 that Josh Doctson and Michael Thomas are best fits at WR.

Fuller reminds me too much of Wallace. Speed but questionable hands

Fuller is much faster and seems to
Have a better burst than Doctson.

Fuller highlights look a little cleaner
to me. Some people are comparing
Fuller to Desean Jackson. In speed
yes but I think is more complete player

Instead of Doctson I would pick up Duarte
WR/TE from UCLA probably third round
the experts are comparing him to Reed TE from
Redskins

i think the guy we didn't see at the combine (coleman) may be the best of the bunch. his only negative is his height.

I really hate when guys don't compete in the combine. Mike Mayock said this class of wideout's is not a deep talented
one like last year. He says he only thinks one or two deserve a first round. Given our history with drafting wideouts I
hope we adress the OL in the first two days the most.

wont make any difference if we dont have an O Line.......we would need to draft guys who specialize in meaningless 2 yrd passes.

Mayock said this is the slowest group of WR's he's seen in a long time! Everyone was running like 4.5-4.7's, he also said "they better be great route runners!" hahah.

Definitely not a year to waste a 1st round pick on a WR

I would hope that there is never a good year to waste a first round pick on any position!

Fuller's hands are extremely questionable though. He's fast but what else?? He doesnt have the strength to go up and battle for balls and has soft hands. Teddy did great with Davante Parker who was a Doctson/Treadwell type WR. Big body jump ball WR that Teddy had chemistry with. Parker was by no means a burner deep threat.

We need a big physical WR that can win contested catches and run good routes. Not some guy that looks good just because he's fast but has hands that are soft as baby crap. We already have one of those and it did nothing to improve our passing game
