There is one from Idaho that is supposed to be pretty good. On one of those draft sites I took him in the 7th round twice and got an A+ both times.

Elijah Lee left KState early to get drafted in the 7th round. Wonder if he would like to take a mulligan.
Ben Leber on Elijah Lee: "Lee is a stud. Has a nose for the ball and runs with his hair on fire." Hope Leber is right but he played at KState so I suppose there is at least some bias there.
Ifeadi Obendigbo (#220) looks very similar to Stephen Weatherly who we took at #227 last year.

I bet the QB from VT regrets coming out early too. I don't even know if he was drafted.
Best move: Few expected Dalvin Cook to still be available with the 41st overall pick, and the Vikings' decision to move up in the second round could add an impressive playmaker to an offense that badly needs one. Cook can contribute as a running back and a receiver, and he'll fit well with Pat Shurmur's West Coast offense, provided he can leave behind the people that caused him to get in some trouble at Florida State.
Riskiest move: We'll use this space to focus more on a move the Vikings didn't make: While the tackle position was thin in this draft, it's still worth noting the Vikings didn't take one in the first six rounds, using a fourth-round pick on Michigan linebacker Ben Gedeon instead of a tackle such as Bucknell's Julien Davenport or USC's Zach Banner. The Vikings improved the tackle position in free agency with Riley Reiff and Mike Remmers, but they're an injury away from using a player such as T.J. Clemmings again in 2017. -- Ben Goessling
Looking back on the Bradford deal I don't think it's that bad because they would have had to use that pick on a QB anyways. Teddy isn't ever playing again and I'd rather have Bradford than any of the QBs in this year's draft. Watson might be good but who knows if he would have been there

a situation or state of confused movement or violent turmoil.
We didn't draft a single tackle. Pretty typical, I don't know why I am even surprised. Not a single safety? Who gives a #### about depth there I guess. No quarterback - which is the typical ignorance and arrogance I have come to expect from this organization.
We traded back and STILL failed to draft Brad Kaaya and Zane Gonzalez - both players who we were targeting heavily.
Best Picks: Jaleel Johnson, Bucky Hodges, Elijah Lee
Worst Picks: Ben Gedeon, Rodney Adams, Stacy Coley
