Vikings select Gerald Hodges LB Penn State
For those with wings, fly to your dreams
Re: ** Official 2013 Draft Thread **
Damn, I think we just jumped on the LB run because they were getting picked apart, but man I hate passing on Rogers so much
Re: ** Official 2013 Draft Thread **
Hodges will work. Don't know if he'll start right away, but he'll work.
Re: ** Official 2013 Draft Thread **
NFL draft tracker has him as an OLB, is that where he's suited in the pros? So maybe we move Henderson to the middle if that's the case.Eli wrote:Hodges will work. Don't know if he'll start right away, but he'll work.

Looks like his best ability is coverage, which the Vikings can definitely use
Re: ** Official 2013 Draft Thread **
Former safety with coverage skills. What's not to like?

at 6'1" 243 he's got the size to move inside of they want him to. I think they'll rotate between him and Erin in the middle and see how it goes.
Re: ** Official 2013 Draft Thread **
Yeah, so now we have a few guys who prefer man to man with decent coverage skills.

I can see that.

I'm a huge Charlie Johnson hater so I'd love to get a guard haha.

Packers draft two offensive lineman in the 4th round. Their $110 million dollar man has to like that.

Re: ** Official 2013 Draft Thread **
We're pretty thin at LB overall so anyone who can come in and compete is a plus.
Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.
Including now, HOF WR #80 Cris Carter

I also think we should take a shot on Marquess Wilson in the 7th. I want him like I wanted Burfict last year but instead we took Guyton.
I want to see what Robert Blanton can do
