In 3 years, we'll be able to hear Zimmer say "it's up to him"! :evil:

From Matt Waldman:
#Vikings get one of my fave TEs in David Morgan. Very quick. Very strong. Excellent hands. Will be a good blocker in time.

Come to find out, he's a pretty good blocking TE with very sure hands. Still, with Rudy and Pruitt, I don't see a need for a TE. They must be really worried about Rhett. He sounds a lot like Rhett when you read up on him.

He is another Rhett Ellison it looks like.

Anyone have the trade details? I am still very confused as to what happened.

I'm not sure what happened with our picks but we may have received 227, 240 and 244

I'm disappointed in the way Rick and Zimmer have managed this whole draft. Not impressed at all.

Like Moritz, David and the Beav? Not to worry, they can start their own sitcom.

Pick 186 was part of the 3rd round trade with Miami.
Miami acquires the No. 86 overall pick from Minnesota for a sixth-round pick (No. 186) and their 2017 third- and fourth-round selections. via http://cbssportsapp.com #NFLDraft

What a weird trade. All for a fourth TE. Not sure I get that one.

I'm lost as to what just happened with that trade but it's showing we still have 227 and 244 left? Is this correct?

So did we acquire more picks for 2017 or no?
