Not unless you are hoping he has hair like Troy, in which case, yeah, that'd be weird...
Back to the draft: I just can't seem to get excited about it this year. Not sure if it's the lack of a first round pick or the way we finished our season... my Viking ship has sails that are barely fluttering in the wind.
Dreamer.I guess I'm hoping that the Ricker just doesn't do anything flashy like make a big trade to move up for someone in the first. I'd like to see something that shows maturation on his part: for example, make prudent picks at positions of need (OL, especially).
There's more at the link.The Vikings have written a receiver’s name down on a selection card in nine drafts during the last decade.
And it’s looking like a safe bet they’ll stretch that to 10 of the last 11 drafts later this month.
A year after taking Laquon Treadwell with the 23rd-overall pick, the Vikings’ receiver picture remains in flux and likely incomplete after his disappointing rookie season and the departures of both Cordarrelle Patterson and Charles Johnson in free agency.

On that note...Texas Vike wrote:I'm fine with that, as long as it is of the Stephon Diggs in the 5th variety and not an all in move for CP in the first.
We’ll start with Kiper, who actually has the Vikings addressing the wide receiver position in Round 2 with the selection of JuJu Smith-Schuster out of the University of Southern California.
McShay, on the other hand, has the Vikings selecting Florida defensive tackle Caleb Brantley at #48.
I like the Brantley pick. All the mocks tools have quality interior OL available in the 3rd and 4th rounds so I'm good with waiting after 48 to address that position. I'm not sure where the Vikings should adddress the WR position. I wish they had one more quality depth player there in case Treadwell doesn't emerge. There will be depth at S, CB, RB, TE, OG, and I'd hate to see them not address those positions this year.
If they hadn't drafted the German Unicorn last year they might have a decent, young prospect from the middle/late rounds (a la Diggs).fiestavike wrote: I like the Brantley pick.

I thought that was why we signed Datone Jones to replace Floyd.
They might. Of course, they could have that in the GERMAN UNICORN himself! Go Moritz!!!Texas Vike wrote:
