It's been a while since I've posted anything - at least since April Fools Day (Cutler to Vikings - oh please!). So this first day of May, 2009 - I've decided to put together a small compilation of highlight reels to welcome our "new class" of rookies and draft picks.
I've always been more of a visual guy - video to watch; data to relate stats to, so this should (hopefully) be interesting enough to sit down and crack a cold one (or two) to.
It's an exciting time, watching the new boys in action...even if it is in the past. I feel, and hopefully most of you do as well, that after watching these videos - we made some great picks. Of course, we'll have to see, but I would personally like to welcome the rooks to the team with a solid SKOL VIKES!
