MN will be picking between 21st and 24th. Redskins don't matter, they won the divison. Seattle don't matter, they beat us. Ravens are division winners. They don't matter. Bengals, they matter.
Looking at the league standins at NFL.com I would say the Vikes will be picking 21st.

That. Was. Awful. Defense did what it could, but there was no consistent pressure on Rodgers, and unfortunately, the Erin Henderson experiment is a no go. No coverage skills whatsoever. Yet, the Packers only converted on 5 of 14 third downs.

The offense was... well... offensive. That, ladies and gents, is what Joe Webb offers.: one or two moments of brilliance punctuated by long stretches of breathtaking ineffectiveness.

It is sad when the best effort of the night was turned in by Chris Kluwe. No, that's not true, Harrison Smith played very well. And Adrian Peterson still managed 99 yards even when the Packers knew that he was the only thing working on offense.

Well, still proud of the Vikings and the coaching staff. Just wish they had turned in a better effort.

Incorrect. Division winners do not matter in draft tiebreakers, only strength of schedule (and record, obviously). Vikings had the hardest, so will pick the latest of 10-6 teams losing in this round. With the Bengals already out, the best we can do is 22. Like S197 said, we want Washington and Baltimore to win because 11-5 Seattle and 11-5 Indy would pick after us.

Ok, I must have read something wrong somewhere.
