Holy.... ####. I am still ecstatic.

Best first round in team history. Calling it right now. I am so glad we passed on Te'o.

Goodbye, Sherels.

Patterson will be good for 3 return TD's this next year and I bet he leads the league in return avg.

If you legitimately see Troy Williamson when you watch Cordarelle Patterson, then WOW at you.

And if you're gonna equate the two based on verbs, then I for one, won't take the evaluation seriously.

At the very least, give the guy a chance.

26 pages on the draft, huh? Y'all are BEASTS!!!

The draft party was intense. I couldn't ask for a better outcome. It was juicy. :)

Got my WR that I wanted, AND we didn't get Te'o. Not to mention our other two HUGE bonuses.

It's going to make tomorrow a bit boring, and I'm a bit concerned about LB. But, today was AWESOME!

I've read multiple articles online saying that the Vikes made out the best in the 1st round.

I am no expert, but I have stayed in a Holiday Inn Express before and I concur with this...

Patterson needs to be Vikes Julio Jones.

Meaning, Falcons went all-in to get Jones...moving up 21 spots, traded 5 picks: #27, future 1st, 2nd, and 2 fourths.

Really worked out for both teams, but for Falcons, they got what they needed in a top tier WR.

We basically got rid of a head case in the last year of his contract, that was never coming back, and made our 2nd and 3rd round picks in the first round. How anyone can be upset with this trade makes no sense. It isn't like we traded half the draft away for one player. We have three new starters tonight, the patriots have none, and Seattle has a prima donna slot receiver.

Yeah...I mean, that was clearly evident coming into today. Vikings did the right thing.

This was first time #Vikings made three first-round picks since 1967, when they took Clint Jones, Gene Washington, Hall of Famer Alan Page.
