Jamaal Stephenson, Vikings’ director of college scouting: It really was about taking the best offensive lineman available (at pick 62). Never seen this many guards go so early.
Thats an alarming statement.
That's a stunning admission.

I'm believing the starting OL week 1 will be Reiff, Easton, Elflein, Andrews, Remmers. Primary Backups Compton and Hill, secondary backups Collins and O'Neil.

So our 2nd rounder might be battling to stay off the practice squad. Nice

I don't think he'll be in danger of going to the practice squad, but I think he is a developmental guy unlikely to contribute this year.
Brian O’Neill is a tortoise coming off the line of scrimmage, forcing him to lunge and lose balance as he tries to compensate. He’ll raise injury liability premiums for his quarterback as a left tackle but could be a stopgap on the right side or get the job done at guard. O’Neill took some goal-line carries and threw a few trick-play passes at Pitt, so he may provide a smidge of extra value as a goal-line fullback.
This was an obvious need pick for the Vikings. But O’Neill is too much like the kind of slow-footed offensive line prospect that has gotten the team into trouble in the past.
Grade: D-plus"
