Loadholt is really inconsistent IMO .. I was not happy
when they extended him a year ago ..

I am hopinh they get a better LG and Kalil improves because of it

I think he's the best guard in the class and would be a good 2nd round pick. He's an athletic type player that I think fits well between Kalil and Sullivan. With the overall draft being so strong in the top 40, the Vikings should have solid 2nd round options. I can see guys like Yankey, Van Noy, and even possibly guys like Shazier and Verrett still around. Carr might be another.
It would be excellent if Shazier were still around at #40. It isn't often there's a 6'1, 235 lb ILB with 4.4 speed, and I think the Ravens could definitely pick him as their Ray Lewis replacement.

I would be shocked if we didn't draft a guard by the end of round 3. Absolutely shocked. We have a hole at that position that is positively gaping, and quality guards are often available in the middle of a draft. Of course, this year could be an exception where there are so many strong players still around in round 3 and none are guards, but if that doesn't happen, we'll take a guard and he'll be expected to start by September 2015 if not earlier.

I thought they already had that guy in Arthur Brown? :confused:
