Heck, you could even draft a receiver from Yugoslavia with one of them. Say... there's an idea...

Anybody watched Brothers? We are getting good grades for picking him: http://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades5.php

Glad we finally got a LB though. Huge need.

I just can't stop laughing the more I look into Moritz... I feel like he's Borat playing a joke on us.
Boehringer played for the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns of the German Football League
The Unicorns sound FORMIDABLE.

They already did a pretty extended piece on him. Apparently they did a segment on Moritz in which he stated that AD's greatness inspired him to start wanting to play FB (2.5 years ago... seriously) and that the team that's shown the most interest in him was the Vikings. Mayock said something to the camera directed to the Vikings. Then Zimmer actually called Mayock about Moritz. They showed the whole development in an edited sequence. It seems to be the most attention the Vikings have gotten in three days of draft coverage.

I hope he has a name that will go along with Moritz, Brothers and Beavers, otherwise I don't want him.

Its seems like its PR for NFL in Europe--similar to the Rams drafting Michael Sam with--probably--no intention on keeping him.

Man...how is he going to read/interpret and process Norv's playbook? Good luck to him.

Texas Vike, now all I can think of are situations where Moritz can quote Borat. For example, when he gets to Minnesota and is introduced to the press:

"I arrived in America's airport with clothings, US dollars, and a jar of gypsy tears to protect me from AIDS."

They say he's smart. If he can pick up what he needs to learn quickly, maybe he has a chance. I know he's fast, but if he's also quick, I can see him being a match up problem. Zimmer just said in the interview they've been looking at him for quite some time now.
