I'll assume Barkley and Guice are gone. Who would you most like to see the Vikings select of the remaining RBs.

I like Sony because he is so dangerous anywhere on the field. I like that he displayed a passion and was splitting time. Not sure how the other backs feel about that? He was a huge change of pace back and split carries as he old with Cook. Plus, let him return kicks !

I like the kick return angle. The only negative I'd have about him is that he is a similar kind of runner to what we have in some ways. I would think the third RB for the Vikings is likely to be either a power back or a scat back.

I like a few of these guys... It'll depend on who falls into the 5th or later. IMO the brass looks at other positions at greater need.
Johnson would be my vote... With Freeman and Penny up there as well.

What we need is serious Pass rushers and Off Linemen more than anything else

The LSU guy reminds of Peterson
a lot strong against blockers with
a nice mix of speed and bounce around.

Him and cook would make a deadly
pair.

I agree though I want OL badly
no one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
