Well, it is a good thing Vikings did not trade up, they still got the player they wanted at their current spot anyway
No, they were targeting someone in the third that they did not get. Rick, obviously, did not state who that was.
Now I want to know who :lol:

StpViking wrote: Sat Apr 25, 2020 9:25 am I know the Vikings have already drafted Ezra Cleveland, but I would love for them to bring in Alex Taylor from SC State. The kid has a lot you can work with, long arms, huge hands, fast and athletic for a guy his size, good bend for his height.

Also would love to pick up the local kid, Tyler Johnson. He has dropped far enough. A good lesson for future NFL hopefuls to take the opportunities given you and not try and dictate evaluation on your own terms. For those who did not know, Tyler Johnson skipped Senior Bowl and Combine, then Corvid 19 hit and evaluators never had a chance to work him out 1 on 1.
We have a lot of picks today. I'd be happy if Taylor and Tyler were among :rock: :govikes: them.

My best guess is Gallimore or Elliott.

Those guys suck and we have so many picks I would be disappointed if we didn't.

Agreed, or DT from A&M.

A Canadian Sooner? Sounds perfect for the Vikings!

I didn’t realize DE- Curtis Weaver was still out there. He’s a stud DE IMO. I trade up for him if I’m Minnesota. Guards will last

Vikings could use him since Vikings lost Weatherly and Griffin

The way this draft is going I think Griffen could be back.

49ers trade Williams for a 5th this year and a 3rd next year. WOW.

Is it just me or does it seem like Rick is missing out on trade partners here? How would I know? I don't. Just seems.

Simpson gone. Can't believe the Vikings didn't make that trade.
