Minnesota Vikings 2008 Draft Preview
The most-publicized problem for the Vikings of late has been an inability to both throw and catch the football, and conventional wisdom suggests that a quarterback, receiver, and perhaps a tight end will be high on the team's priority list. At the same time, no Minnesota player tallied more than five sacks last season, and with Kenechi Udeze expected to miss time with a reported case of leukemia, and Erasmus James still a question mark due to a perpetually injured knee, the Vikes might draft a first-round defensive end for the third time in the last five years. If available, Florida's Derrick Harvey is a real possibility. After addressing the QB and wideout situations, Minnesota might want to target some offensive line depth given the age (32), injury history, and contract dissatisfaction of center Matt Birk, the recurring legal problems experienced by left tackle Bryant McKinnie, and the shaky play of recent first-day draft choices Ryan Cook and Marcus Johnson.
