Okay. . .I'm not going to be commenting on every pick from here on out, but here's a post for comments about the rest of the draft.
That was the longest first round in NFL history. Thanks to everyone that came here for some info on it!
Update [2007-4-28 19:20:20 by Gonzo]:
The Vikings have traded down in Round 2 with the Falcons. Particulars when they're given.
Update [2007-4-28 19:20:20 by Gonzo]:
The Vikings traded their second round pick (#41) to the Falcons. In exchange, they receive the Falcons' second round pick (#44), and fourth round pick (#121).
The Falcons used the pick on Chris Houston, CB, Arkansas.
Update [2007-4-28 19:32:15 by Gonzo]:
With the 44th overall pick in the NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings have taken Sidney Rice, WR, South Carolina.
I would have been a bit happier with Dwayne Jarrett, but hey. . .Rice doesn't make me sad in any way, shape, or form.
Check out The Ragnarok's write-up of Sidney Rice.
Update [2007-4-28 22:1:30 by Gonzo]:
We've hit the "lightning round." (i.e. The Third Round). Teams only get 5 minutes per pick at this point, so the Vikings' next pick is no more than 15 minutes or so away.
Update [2007-4-28 22:1:30 by Gonzo]:
With the 72nd pick of the 2007 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings select Marcus McCauley, CB, Fresno State.
Rounds out a pretty damn fine first day of the draft for the Vikings, in my opinion.
