Re: Draft thread
I am surprised Mims fell out of the first round...I think Vikings are going to trade up to get the player they want in 2nd round, I do not think they want to wait until #58 to select a player

Re: Draft thread
If we wake up tomorrow and Trent W is in purple for one of those 4ths, then it will be ++

Re: Draft thread
Ya, I don't think it would have been better to take Gladney at 25 and forfeit a 4th and 5th round pick just because we might lose 30 'points' in draft capital. Pretty sure the 4th and 5th are better than 0.

Re: Draft thread
I dig it. Or if we use that capital to trade up and draft Winfield early day 2.

Re: Draft thread
Vikings drafted 2 needs and added 2 more picks. Looks like a successful first day to me.
Re: Draft thread
I don't really thing we got good value out of our first round picks.
Rick needs to have an excellent draft and I don't think it's a great start.

Re: Draft thread
Given what was available and what went, what did we really lose? Wilson if anyone? We gained a 4th and 5th, I'd still make that trade any day

Re: Draft thread
I don't think either will be spectacular, but both should help day 1, especially Jefferson. The key is what they hit on later. If they can get another starter or 2 and then reliable depth players, it will be a good draft.

Re: Draft thread
How so? Jefferson would've been a top 12 pick if it wasnt for the big 3 in this class. Jefferson was projected to go in front of us and he didnt. Gladney was making his way up as well and we landed him at 31 plus got a 4th and 5th out of it.

Re: Draft thread
I think they got as good of value as could be expected without more trading back.

Re: Draft thread
Exactly. It was a great deal. We had our pick of the litter out of Fulton, Johnson and Gladney and could pick the best on the board. Plus gained a 4th and 5th. I make that trade any day of the week. I was on a zoom chat with a few buddies and kept telling them we should trade back given the corners on the board.fiestavike wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2020 11:19 pmYa, I don't think it would have been better to take Gladney at 25 and forfeit a 4th and 5th round pick just because we might lose 30 'points' in draft capital.

Re: Draft thread
If someone said, the Vikings will get Justin Jefferson, Jeff Gladney, an extra 4th and an extra 5th, I am more than ecstatic with that

I lose the Mims first round bet. Congratulations to whoever I was betting with.

Re: Draft thread
Who is left on the board that folks would like to see the Vikings scoop up tomorrow?

Re: Draft thread
Jefferson was Daniel Jeremiah's 16th overall player in the draft. He also set the LSU school record for most receptions in a season. That is impressive
