Looking like we'll be going interior OL to me. Elflein hopefully. Hated seeing Moton go. I was hoping he might slide to us.S197 wrote:There goes Pocic, damn you Seattle.

Saints draft Kamara. Adrian Peterson asking to be released?

Re: 2017 draft thread
I honestly don't know if there's really a big drop off from a guy like Elflein and Feeney to your Asiata or Johnson's that may be around.fiestavike wrote: Looking like we'll be going interior OL to me. Elflein hopefully. Hated seeing Moton go. I was hoping he might slide to us.
If Dede Westbrook or Cooper Kupp is around, do you go that route?
Re: 2017 draft thread
It's Elflein.
Good pick.

Re: 2017 draft thread
Well nevermind, Kupp goes and we take Elflein! Lol.

Re: 2017 draft thread
I think the Vikings have selected two guys who are fits in what they are looking for, but are getting really low relative value given the strength of the positions they are drafting this year. And twice traded up to do so! I'd have to give them a poor grade on how they are doing, even though both players will be good contributors.S197 wrote: I honestly don't know if there's really a big drop off from a guy like Elflein and Feeney to your Asiata or Johnson's that may be around.

I think so too, I like his ability to play center or either guard position.Mothman wrote:It's Elflein.

Anyone know what we gave up to move from 79?

Re: 2017 draft thread
Hard to argue any moves so far this year. I'm glad for the local guy. Good kid.
OH!-IO!
OH!-IO!
Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.
Including now, HOF WR #80 Cris Carter

Between last year, and how the draft is going this year, it feels like thay have sunk into 'win now' mode. Getting depressing.Texas Vike wrote: I think so too, I like his ability to play center or either guard position.

Would you rather they didn't win so soon?fiestavike wrote: Between last year, and how the draft is going this year, it feels like thay have sunk into 'win now' mode. Getting depressing.
I don't see anything worth getting depressed about. We seem to have taken two quality FB players at positions we needed.

We gave up a 5th rounder.Texas Vike wrote: I think so too, I like his ability to play center or either guard position.

Think it was a good move given how thin this OL class is.
Re: 2017 draft thread
Now gimme some DD Westbrook next and I'm a happy camper!

Essentially, the Vikings got a starting QB, RB, C so far. The three most important positions on offense.
