Best and Worst Drafts????

This is a fun site to kill some time before the NFL offseason officially kicks off.

I like the 1985 draft. Also, if you count trades, 1986 is outstanding as well.

2005, hands down the worst ever!

that stupid hershel walker trade :wallbang: look at how many really good picks we gave dallas. Jerry Jones should publicly thank the Vikings for building their super bowl teams in the '90s.

nothing will ever compare to the Drafts we gave up for Hershel Walker.....the stupidest move in the history of the league.

As far as the best, even if Wilf sacrificed his first born son to pick up AP, it would still be a bargain!

2005 will forever piss me off. DeMarcus Ware. Shawn Merriman. Roddy White. Carlos Rodgers. Antrell Rolle. Heath Miller. Logan Mankins. Michael Roos. These are all players we could have drafted instead of Troy Williamson and Erasmus James.

Of course, 2005 could have been avoided. We should have never traded Randy Moss in the first place.

Looking back at the 1967 draft, there were some great players drafted. Allen Page, Gene Washington, Clint Jones, Bobby Bryant. These players were all good and of course Page was the best :thumbsup:

Here is a look at the Viking drafts going back to the first one. http://www.vikings.com/team/history/all ... rafts.html
