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

Hodges will work. Don't know if he'll start right away, but he'll work.

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.

Looks like his best ability is coverage, which the Vikings can definitely use

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.

Yeah, so now we have a few guys who prefer man to man with decent coverage skills.

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

We're pretty thin at LB overall so anyone who can come in and compete is a plus.

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
