That's correct. Wonder why a guy that was a projected first round pick(even as high as 2) drops to the 3rd round?
There's always some mystery slides every draft. This years is Willis and Dean.

Another example of mocks being jokes. A great tool especially for average fans to get an idea of talent, But it seems many look at these mocks showing what players are going to minn in every around is silly.

Basically they just drafted Surratt's and Davis' replacements tonight. Last years draft after round 1 could be as bad as a draft as Minnesota ever had.

I don’t like the value we got in these trades at all but I do really love adding Cine and Booth to the back end.

Booth was my #3 corner behind sauce and stingley and him and stingley were close for me. That was an excellent trade up. There’s a good chance he could develop into the best corner in this draft.

Haha I said more than once that if we traded down and it was between Mcduffie and Booth, I’d take Booth. Mcduffie goes at 21, we get booth at 42. Excellent value

Watching film of Christian Watson the WR the Packers drafted with the pick they got from us. He 100% reminds me of Moritz Bow Finger. Check him out and tell me if you don't see the similarities.

Vikings came one pick early for Cine and 2 picks late for Asamoah of having 4 2nd round picks.

My initial reaction is I don't like this pick. Too small and too limited for an NFL starting guard.
Mel Loves him.
This pick probably ends Wyatt Davis career with us at least on the active roster. You can only carry so many Gs and I assume the FA signings are locks and so is this draft pick.

For what it's worth, the Vikings might have had the most luck between 2013-2018 in the second around. There were four 2nd round picks during that time:

Brian O'Neill
Dalvin Cook
Mackenzie Alexander

I'm ok with the players they drafted but I think they should have been able to get a lot more from moving around as much as they did.

That is great! That means Watson is going to be a bust

I think there is room for Davis and Engram. Jesse Davis, Ezra Cleveland, Engram, Wyatt Davis. That's 4 guards I think they will keep on the roster. Schlott from Denver will be the back up center. Udoh will be the swing tackle if he makes the team.
