not to bad!!

The only way I will be able to call this draft a sucess, will be if we either end up with Kalil, or if we trade down with and pick up some extra picks,, but we need to come out of this draft with either kalil,martin,or reiff… I guess Claibourne wouldnt be terrible either… but we need to stock up on our O line.. first and foremost

+0.999

I’m reserving the 0.001, because I’d be tempted to take RGIII if he’s there.

I can’t stand listening to Adam Schein and Rich Gannon on the Blitz, however I have heard you on the show and thought you have some very good insight. Liked the Mock and IF Kalil is there I think that would be the pick for the Vikings.
Would be interested in seeing what you would do in a Mock if the Rams took Kalil. Would the Vikings make the trade or take another player?

I think if Kalil is gone, the vikings definitely trade down a couple spots. I see us with either Blackmon or Claiborne. We need to address our terrible secondary almost as bad as our porous o line.

if kalil is gone, just plug the redskins at #3 IMHO. i could see us doing basically the same thing as the rams in this mock, which is to trade down with the skins, and grab riley reiff

Some of the feedback I got for the 2.0 draft is to do the next one without any trades, even though I really believe the Rams will trade out of it with either WAS, MIA, or CLE. In that scenario, I believe I will have the Rams taking Kalil; who would you see the Vikes taking if that happens and they dont trade out of the third spot?

I'd see them taking

Probably Claiborne. Our DBs are the worse and with Cooks legal issues it is a position of much need.
Personally I’d like them to take RG3 and trade Ponder, hopefully to one of the teams you stated. I feel that until you have a true elite QB in our division you’re just playing for 3rd place at best.

tell that to the niners lol. ya, there division sucks and they did lose to giants, but it is my opinion (opinion only lol who knows if i’m right or wrong) that offense will get you to the playoffs, but D and a running game still win it. you can point at the pats and giants having bad D’s, but look at how they have played over the last few weeks/month. both teams D has really stepped it up. which tells me that the D’s were worse then advertised.

and you could argue that the Pats D isn’t really that bad….middle of that pack in terms of points against (14th i believe) but last in yds….so they are holding teams to FGs, which is a great strength of a defense

I was slightly open to Blackmon the last week or so

But now ~~I think~~ I am against drafting a WR in either of the first 2 rounds. Especially with the talent that might hit free agency (Bowe, Johnson, Garcon).

@ #3: Kalil, Claiborne or trade down.

I agree, the defensive back and o line problem is a much more urgent need than wide receiver.

I think this might the first place that I’ve seen Martin described as better at pass pro than Reiff, and Reiff better in the run game. I think everything else I have read is the opposite…
