Will be interesting to see if Spielman and Zimmer either see a guy like Moehrig as special enough to justify a move up or the need at safety to be great enough to justify a move up.S197 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 2:14 pm If Moehrig lasts another 10-15 picks, I can see the Vikings trying to trade up to replace Harris. There's a ton of good players still out there but I have a feeling we see them go quickly in the 2nd. The 1st round was odd in that it was heavy on positions we weren't going to take. QB, WR, and CB made up what, 10 of those picks? It's more likely the positions we're coveting start getting taken on day 2.
As it stands, I'm not convinced of either. I like Moehrig and think he will be a solid pro, but I don't see him as a special player. For that matter, I think the safety class this year is extremely flat. Like, flat enough where the different between the top rated safety and, say, the 7th rated safety is negligible. I could see guys like Andre Cisco, Richie Grant or Damar Hamlin having as good or better pro careers.
While the Vikings have an arguable need at safety, I think they also have some flexibility to address that need and I think they can get a good prospect as late as Round 4 this year. If they don't address safety at all I'll be worried, but I won't be worried if they don't gamble to address that position.
