2017 draft thread

Not bad, it's the later 4th rounder so they still have the 14th pick in the 4th. No question Cook has the talent, now just a matter of him staying healthy and out of trouble. His ball security could use work too but he has great yards after contact and a crazy amount of missed tackles.

Wonder if the Bengals take Mixon.

Does Cook have some kind of character issues?

Yeah, a lot of stupid stuff.

[S197]

Does Cook have some kind of character issues?

He does.

He's also had run-ins with the law, starting in high school (robbery in 2009, charges dropped; firing and possessing a weapon on school property in 2010, charges drooped) and then again in 2015, where he was charged with misdemeanor battery outside a bar (found not guilty).

He does.

Hopefully Zimmer can keep him in line. He has potential to be a very good RB.

I do wonder what would have happened if there was video of Cook hitting a girl. Watching Mixon's almost made me throw up.

Any more trades up Rick's sleeves? What do you guys think? I know about as much of the NFL draft as I do about Nuclear Fusion.

A new Viking!



Hope he can contribute, I don't know about any of these players but have been watching this:

His history has been to trade up into the back of the 1st for a 3rd round pick. Vikings have had very few 3rd round picks over the years. This year basically the same except no 1st so it was 2nd for a 4th. I think they stay put the rest of tonight. 2 more picks in the 3rd.

Cook is a good scheme fit, but I'm just not happy with the lack of value of taking a RB, and trading up to take him!

[PurpleKoolaid]

And thats why I didnt want Mixon.

[S197]

Hah, I knew the Bengals wanted Mixon. Seems like a win/win. Hopefully...

Michael Roberts, Melifonwu, Tomlinson, Cunningham and a whole bunch of good interior OL remaining. Hope we can get one in the 3rd.

Any chance the Vikings would take Kizer if he's still on the board at 79?

I doubt it. It's just not Rick Spielman's MO.

Edit: Right after I posted that, Kizer went to that Browns team you're alway talking about.

Dang Obi to the Raiders. If Conley doesn't go to jail they will have a good secondary.
