Actually, most scouting reports project him as a RT or a guard. So you're on the right track.VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 3:02 pmLots of speculation on the draft order of the top four OTs. If somehow Wirfs falls past 10 he is very interesting to trade up for. I actually want him for guard more than Tackle. he can be a very good tackle or he can be the second coming of Randall McDaniel at guard.J. Kapp 11 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 2:37 pm
Everybody loves Tristan Wirfs. He may well end up the first non-QB drafted other than Chase Young.
Old Farts like me remember when the Vikings drafted McDaniel and him dunking a basketball or was in a football in full football pads. He was the original extremely athletic guard. I see Wirfs like that.J. Kapp 11 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 11:20 amActually, most scouting reports project him as a RT or a guard.

He was originally projected as top-15 and behind Becton from Louisville. But that combine ... teams are gonna fall in love with a 320-pound man running 4.86 and vertical-jumping 36.5 inches. By comparison, Dalvin Cook had a 30.5 inch vertical and ran 4.49. His vertical was better than both Jerry Jeudy and CeeDee Lamb. I mean, can you imagine Wirfs as a pulling guard on running plays? And it doesn't hurt that Wirfs played at Iowa, which has produced more quality NFL offensive linemen than I can count.
Even though Wirfs does not project as a LT, I really think he could be the first non-QB offensive player chosen. Top-5 possibly.
Yeah Wirfs could very well go to the giants at 4. It’s getting so hard to predict right now and you know there will be at least a few wrenches thrown in. Someone is going to go way earlier than expected, some guys are going to fall, some teams are going to trade up out of nowhereJ.

Our hope for him to fall to a feasible trade spot is first the Giants take Simmons and then other teams don't see him as a left tackle so they take the other guys.Pondering Her Percy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 12:34 pmYeah Wirfs could very well go to the giants at 4.

If Wirfs falls to the 10-12 range I’d be all for trading up. However that area is where the projected WR run is going to go. The jets at 11, raiders at 12 and 49ers at 13. Lamb, Jeudy and Ruggs could very well be gone right there. That’s when I would jump all over Tampa at 14 to trade up for Wirfs if he was there but my guess is Tampa wouldn’t be trading out and they would select Wirfs given Brady is a glass statue at this point in his career.
And I have a hard time seeing the jets, raiders or 49ers trading out of their picks though given how desperate they are for a WR and given the big 3 should be sitting there for them
I think we have to use 22 and 25 to get to 12Husker Vike wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 9:23 pm I agree with PHP that we should look at moving into the 12th pick area , if we can trade pick 25 back down to balance it.
It was good. I'm looking forward to seeing his mock tomorrow.Texas Vike wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 11:20 am https://climbingthepocket.com/2020/04/1 ... endencies/
One of the best analyses that I've seen lately. Matt Fries is probably the best writer of Vikings related content out there. Highly recommended.
I know! I posted this here before I'd finished reading today's piece... didn't realize he was going to give us a cliff hanger.VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 2:15 pmIt was good.

Just for the school he comes from i want him to come to camp.Punkoholic wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 8:59 pm Apparently had talks with Prairie View A.M. QB Jalen Morton. Don't expect him to be drafted so a possible undrafted free agent signing. Anyone know anything about him?
