Good, they drafted a guard. Finally.

It was a team need.
This guy was second team all Pac 12, and they say he plays with a nasty streak. Intriguing.

There. Look at the list on the bottom, select different positions, check out the grades.

I'm saying you're probably not trying to jump anybody. Unless you really have eyes for someone, you have no great reason to jump up. Take the picks, get bodies into camp.

Honestly, I was hoping they'd take a guard in the fifth, even a converted tackle. I can't tell you he could compete with, between Baca, Johnson, and Fusco I don't know who'd be the best choice, but I like the fact that the guy pulls well, did well in the agility drills at the Combine, and plays mean. Meaning he brings something new and different to the guards.

I realize I am late to the party... But mouse has always been terribly overrated. Maybe now some people will see what it is like to have a real punter.

http://NFL.com on new #Vikings guard Jeff Baca: "As tenacious a blocker as there is in this draft class."

Is that a pic of Jeff Baca or did Matt Birk gain weight and grow out an afro?

More likely he's competing with Kropog and Olsen for a spot.

We got a mean guard. We need a guard. Could repace Johnson (plz god) sooner rather then later.

Im so busy here, does anyone know if WR Rogers is still out there?

Yes he is.

[PotGoblin]

ILB from Penn St - Mauti is still as well I believe

[saint33]

He is, and I'd say at this point he could likely go undrafted

Smart guy too.

Jeff Baca - G - Vikings

Vikings selected UCLA OG Jeff Baca with the No. 196 overall pick.

Baca (6-foot-3 3/8, 302) made 45 starts for the Bruins, 25 at guard and 20 at tackle. His best pro position projects as left guard or center. Baca performed 28 bench reps at his Pro Day, after demonstrating impressive athleticism with a 5.03 forty and 1.68 ten-yard split at the Combine. His 7.43 three-cone drill was the best among offensive linemen in Indy. One medical flag on Baca was a 2012 concussion that cost him two games, although he's been fully cleared medically and scored a 34 on the Wonderlic. The Vikings need guard help.

Just Det and philly before we get to back to back vikes picks

However, when you take the best punter in the country, odds are usually pretty good he'll work out. A guy compared to Anger (who I believe was All Pro last year) and was suggested by at least one source to be a possibility in the 3rd or 4th round.

Pat Angerer, is how is last name is spelled and the last best LB Iowa had Not sure if he made the PB, but I think he's had trouble with an injury from about 1-2 years ago.
