@eric_j_thompson Gedeon: Talked to Zimmer at the Senior Bowl and combine. Comfortable in playing both outside and inside in the 4-3.
@christomasson Ben Gedeon said he "absolutely" thinks he could play as a rookie. He said he's ready to compete and also to play special teams.

@DWolfsonKSTP Spielman stockpiling late round picks. Keep an eye on ASU kicker Zane Gonzalez.

Vikings got No. 139 in fourth round and No. 230 in the seventh round. They now have 4 7th-round picks. 10 total (Rick's magic number)Texas Vike wrote: The Ricker just LOVES trades... any word on what we got?

Re: 2017 draft thread
With the Vikings final pick I think Slick Rick should draft Brantley. Hell at that point you have nothing to lose.
Vikings fan since Nov. 6, 1966. Annoying Packer fans since Nov. 7, 1966

Re: 2017 draft thread
At this point, Why not just start picking players that are on the top of your board? I mean who cares if the player is projected to be a high 5th, low 4th, or high 6th?

I'd like to see Nathan Peterman here.

Hunter was a Height, Weight, Speed freak with upside though. This guy seems to have very little upside.dead_poet wrote:Danielle Hunter wasn't a popular pick where he was selected, too. Let's give the kid a chance.

This is #### ridiculous. Hey, let's stockpile all late rounders, because they always work out so well. Jesus Christ.
