I would definitely be on board with Mike Evans if he were available - I just don't see it happening. Man, Greg in the slot, Evans at the Z and Patterson at the X would be an insane wide receiving group.S197 wrote:One scenario I haven't heard discussed is what if Mike Evans is on the board. I know a lot of people were on board (myself included) in taking Watkins if he were around but what about Evans? I think there's a relatively good possibility he's there at #8 (especially if the top 3 OTs are picked). Some will say it's a luxury pick but Evans, Jennings, and Patterson is a very intriguing trio. Add in Rudolph and Peterson and you have a lot of talent at the skill position to help mask your QB issue.
I can see the Vikings taking Evans and taking a big arm QB in the 2nd (Mett, Carr, etc.), allowing Turner to really stretch the field. Of course this means the defense won't be addressed until the 3rd at earliest, which presents problems, but with the QB grades all over the map, I wouldn't be too surprised if this scenario played out. Low odd scenario but thought I'd mention it since I don't think it's been brought up.
I was actually going to bring up a scenario the other day, but I felt stupid for thinking about brining it up. I was just wondering if Minnesota would consider drafting Eric Ebron at all. I am a big Kyle Rudolph fan, but Ebron brings a whole different skill set to an offense. Ebron's vertical game would open up a whole new way to exploit Norv Turner's offense.
