I second thatI am really hoping Vikings will draft him, it will be nice to keep him in the Vikings familyVikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2020 8:23 pm Appearing on Friday’s #PFTPM, Antoine Winfield Jr. said that he’s heard from the Vikings, Chiefs, Patriots, Titans, and Buccaneers.
Winfield Jr. was the Big 10 defensive back of the year and the son of three-time Pro Bowl selection Antoine Winfield. He posted solid combine numbers in the 40-yard dash (4.45 seconds), vertical jump (36 inches) and broad jump (124 inches). Rotoworld's Hayden Winks ranked Winfield as his No. 49 overall prospect, noting, "Winfield’s upside is limited by his frame, but he offers enough instincts and competitiveness to be an NFL starter as long as his hamstring and foot injuries are behind him."

I don't see him being a good choice in the first round, but a steal at 58. Maybe we can trade back from 25 to get a 2nd and 3rd. I would draft him whether we are keeping Harris or not, but it sure would be nice to have that situation resolved before the draft.RandyMoss84 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2020 9:26 pmI am really hoping Vikings will draft him, it will be nice to keep him in the Vikings familyVikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2020 8:23 pm Appearing on Friday’s #PFTPM, Antoine Winfield Jr. said that he’s heard from the Vikings, Chiefs, Patriots, Titans, and Buccaneers.

I do not really think Winfield will fall to #58 but I can see Vikings trading back from #25 to get 2nd round pick to select WinfieldVikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2020 10:13 pmI don't see him being a good choice in the first round, but a steal at 58.

He won't fall to 58. Might not even fall out of the first round. However if we get an early second we would have a decent chance of getting him with that.RandyMoss84 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2020 10:21 pmI do not really think Winfield will fall to #58 but I can see Vikings trading back from #25 to get 2nd round pick to select WinfieldVikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2020 10:13 pm

I'm sure some people think so because I'm one of them. However, he's probably best used at Safety.
I agreeVikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 4:51 amI'm sure some people think so because I'm one of them. However, he's probably best used at Safety.
I'm just wondering if he could be a fit as a slot corner and potentially move to safety later.VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 4:51 amI'm sure some people think so because I'm one of them. However, he's probably best used at Safety.
I would have no problem drafting him at #25 but I think Vikings could trade back a few spots and still get himMaelstrom88 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 1:19 am Saw a rumor they like Matt Hennessy as a guard prospect. I've read he has light feet and seems like a great fit for Kubiak's offense. They might take him as high as 25.
That sounds ridiculously high for Hennessy. 58 might even be too early for him. Who started the rumor? Do you have a link to it?Maelstrom88 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 1:19 am Saw a rumor they like Matt Hennessy as a guard prospect.

If Vikings draft Hennessy at #25 and Hennessy becomes a Hall of Famer, you would not think it is ridiculously high anymoreVikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 5:59 amThat sounds ridiculously high for Hennessy. 58 might even be too early for him.

It was from walterfootball.com but their mock draft has been updated and it's no longer there. They didn't name any names but said not to be surprised if the Vikings take him at 25 basically hinting that they've heard rumblings.VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 5:59 amThat sounds ridiculously high for Hennessy. 58 might even be too early for him.
