It's not really that bad considering how much of "steals" Floyd and Rhodes were.
Pretend we had to trade up multiple times tonight.
Just think of all the bums we've drafted in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds.

We need picks, don't we?
They must be VERY confident.
Holy cow.
Have to help Ponder. I agree with Mayock. Can't do 3 defensive players. Can we?

Yeah, but what are we going to do for commenting during most of the rest of this draft?

i am thinking the same thing... I cant figure out the suicide threats.

Agreed. Suddenly this thread went from sunshine and roses to doom and gloom. It's not that bad people...those picks after round 1 are valuable but still overrated. Chances of getting a real impact player there are not terribly high.

Spielman knows what the hell he's doing. I trust Spielman.

That second round pick was going to be a pretty good WR prospect.

Unless they were gone by the time they got to us, which is a real possibility.

Too bad we didn't make the trade 2 picks before for Hopkins.

I think Spielman and company are banking on wrights development and Carlson to actually produce. The Vikings had 11 picks, now they'll only make 8 picks. 3 first round picks, 1 fourth fifth sixth and 2 sevenths
