Which games will you be watching and which players do you think would be great Vikings?

Here is my weekly mock. The Vikings are coming off a very nice win vs the Lions and a decent performance from Ponder. They have had a week to rest up and get ready to go to Chicago. It is going to be tough. Right now the Vikings are the 8th seed if the playoffs started today and would not be in the dance. So I am thinking that right now they will be picking mid-first round. I am to go with #16 for now.

Right now, Robert Woods seems to be dropping in the draft. I think that is crazy and by the time the draft rolls around I think he will be ranked high provided he turns pro.
I like Ansah a lot. Considering Allen will be a free agent after next year and Robison and Griffen are free agents as well, I think DE is definitely a position that could use another stud.
I think Ryan has good size and is just a very good all around corner.
I wanted to get a couple of other WRs because I think Jenkins and Aromashodu are probably gone after this year. Then you have Simpson who may not be back or Burton who will have to compete for his spot. So I want to add three WRs to replace the ones departing. Since Spielman does not want to overspend in free agency, there is no need to add another mediocre veteran.
Kiko Alonso is a LB on the rise. He fits the profile that Spielman likes in his LBs being close to 6'3" and over 240 pounds.
I think that the team obviously needs help at the DT position. Adding players late is not a recipe for success. I wanted to do this mock picking DTs later.
Brandon Williams is dominating at Missouri Southern State. He has 68 tackles with 16.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks. He has put up these numbers 3 years straight now. I think when you look at a Akiem Hicks who played in Canada and now is doing well for the Saints, you might want to believe others can make that jump too. I also decided to double up on this positon by snagging Chris Jones who is undersized but very productive. He has 17 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks thus far. I actually think he will go higher before it is all said and done. Last year he had 14 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks. The year before he had 11 tackles for loss and 6 sacks. So he is not a one year wonder and is getting better.

I put this in a previous weekly mock but I think that Spielman could be happy with his offensive linemen. He probably will resign Schwartz and he obviously likes Mark Asper. I expect that he wants those two to be his starters next year. You have Demarcus Love who will be coming back too. Here is how the line looks now ...

Matt Kalil 6'7" 306 Age 23
Charlie Johnson 6'4" 305 Age 28
John Sullivan 6'4" 301 Age 27
Brandon Fusco 6'4" 306 Age 22
Phil Loadholt 6'8" 343 Age 26
Geoff Schwartz 6'6" 331 Age 26
Joe Berger 6'5" 315 Age 30
Mark Asper 6'6" 321 Age 26
Demarcus Love 6'4" 315 Age 22
Troy Kropog 6'6" 308 Age 26
Kevin Murphy 6'7" 295 Age 22
Tyler Holmes 6'5" 308 Age 24

That is why I passed on interior offensive line help. If they cannot resign Loadholt then maybe I adjust my draft thoughts. Maybe.

What I would do in the next 2 to 3 weeks is snag some players off of other teams practice squads. The first one would be ...

Brandon Washington OG 6’2.7" 320 from the Rams practice squad. I would let Joe Berger go. Washington was supposedly a 3rd round talent but did not get drafted until the 6th round. Most think he came out too early and needed to mature a little. But he is very talented and also played left tackle for Miami.

The next player would be ...

Alameda Ta'amu DT 6'3" 348 from the Steelers practice squad. I would let Allen Reisner, Devin Aromashodu, or Tyrone McKenzie go. Probably Aroma. Ta'amu has had some problems and still has to face the consequences for his DUI. He probably will get suspended a game or two as well. But that is OK. I think that was a wake up call (hopefully) to get on the straight and narrow and put in the hard work to become a solid starter in the league. I still like him and he would bring some serious beef to the defensive line. Maybe a fresh start is all he needs? Either way you slice it is a no risk move by the Vikings. They can get him and pay him very little. He will have a chance to prove he can be a decent rotational run stuffing DT.

Another player I like would be ...

Jeff Fuller WR 6'4" 215 from the Dolphins practice squad. I would let one of the others from above go. I think Fuller has a lot of "potential". He was undrafted and is probably itching to prove he belongs. I like these kinds of players. His season in 2010 was no fluke. He caught 72 passes for 1066 yards and 12 TDs. In 2011 he caught 70 passes for 828 yards and 6 TDs but everyone said that it was a down or even bad year for him. He did have too many drops for sure but those stats are pretty similar. I think he is a guy who can play in the NFL and he definitely can do Jenkins role. Well I hope he can.

Spielman has plucked some players from other teams practice squads in the past so this is really not anything new. Juaquin Iglesias was snagged from the Bears practice squad. Although he did not make the team the next season it is a cheap way to try and find some potential talent.

Well there it is. I hope that you can watch your team(s) and provide some feedback on players you think that can make it in the NFL
