Couple could go here soon. Some good picks left on D.S197 wrote: Bears GM trying to not get fired gives up a lot for one spot. Lol. And now the Browns trade way down since their QB is gone.
No O-line taken yet, shows how crappy this draft class is.

Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.

Re: 2017 draft thread
Here goes the Eagles with the pick we sent them... I'd still take Bradford.

I hate the Eagles so much, I bet they take Allen.

Re: 2017 draft thread
Grabbing tackles in FA is looking to be pretty smart right now. So is Bradford, unless you think Mahomes is worth double (2 1st round picks).This marks the first time in the Common Draft Era that an offensive lineman has not been selected within the first 15 picks.

Re: 2017 draft thread
Allen, Howard and Hooker dropped further than expected. First time since 1982 an offensive tackle hasn't been taken in the top-15. Gotta think TB goes Howard here.
Still super depressed we're not in the mix tonight. Such a letdown watching all of these talented guys going without a shot at one.

Re: 2017 draft thread
No doubt. 2018 supposed to be a boon OT class. I'm hoping for some stud interior guys in this one. And I'll be rooting for Hill. I really liked what I saw in very limited action last year. Will be interesting to watch him in the preseason.S197 wrote: Grabbing tackles in FA is looking to be pretty smart right now.

Re: 2017 draft thread
Pretty interesting night. I think Robinson and Lamp go early tomorrow. Probably Dalvin Cook too. Seems like DT and S might be a sweet spot. Hate to say it but offensive picks look really thin unless o-line continues to slide. JuJu maybe?
I think either be aggressive and go after Lamp or trade back.

Re: 2017 draft thread
Good news for us though is that a lot of RBs and OL have fallen. The guards are all still there. Cook, Kamara and Mixon are all there. I say we're in pretty good shape

Re: 2017 draft thread
Yeah by a long shot. Thinking that we basically took Bradford with our first tonight sounds pretty good. Especially given the fact that our positions of need have all fallen and could very well land right on our lapBigwehrm wrote: Heck yes. . Better than any qb in tonite draft.

Re: 2017 draft thread
According to Yinka Ayinde, the Vikes tried to trade up to 31 for Forrest Lamp, still thinks they could try to move up in the 2nd.

Re: 2017 draft thread
Will be tough, I think Seattle is going to have to take OL. Moving up 15 spots is still going to be a hefty price.808vikingsfan wrote:

Re: 2017 draft thread
I would rather the Vikings not trade up - even though there are two very good offensive linemen on the board.
We need depth at multiple positions and this draft has plenty of players that fill our needs and can contribute this season.
