Agreed. Sheppard is the WR I think is going to have the most impact over his career of this year's WR class. Treadwell, of course, will win more Superbowls though...

Correa went higher than I thought, there goes the chance for a local boy.

Board is shaking out decently for the Vikings so far.

ya, we aren't desperate for a pass rusher but they are getting scooped up.

Would it be grounds for banishment from this board if I wanted Miles Killebrew with that 2nd round pick?

I know it's a deep safety class. I know he's rated below a lot of guys at the position, I know he played for a small school, but DANG that kid can hit. And he doesn't just hit - he drops the ball carrier in his tracks, and he tracks the ball very well. He strikes me as a prototype strong safety that can come down into the box and really make running difficult, especially to the edge.

I know he's projected to go later and he probably will, but I think he's going to be a stud in the pros and is the perfect complement to Harrison Smith.

I have the sense that Joshua Perry could do a lot to shore up our run defense. He's big, strong, disciplined, willing to take on the point without worrying about the glory. He could help Shut things down and allow Barr/Kendricks/Smith to swarm to the ball. I think he fits Zimmer's style.

Interesting spot for Henry. With Murray there? I question the fit a lot.

Really I wonder how Murray feels about that.

I think it makes sense with Lewan and Conklin out the outside of that line. They are looking to get mean and physical with a 250# RB. I appreciate that philosophy.

Betting we take Whitehair. Glad Henry is gone cause there was part of me that really wanted him.

3 holding calls? Lol, talk about grasping at straws. At least the first sentence was honest.
That actually a lot for a RB.

Robinson lasted a lot longer than I thought he would. I think those of us hoping for Spriggs or Whitehair will get our hearts broken a few picks before ours :(
