The Daily Norseman Mock Draft Database v1.0

Since we are leading up to the draft here, it's time to try to start something to track who has the Minnesota Vikings selecting which players when. To that end, with the help of our friends over at The Phinsider, I have put together this little table to help us track these sorts of things.

I will effort to update this every Saturday between now and draft day. Some weeks we might add mock drafts, some weeks we might drop some off, but there should be a pretty decent number of them every week for your reading pleasure.

So, with that, here is the first version of The Daily Norseman's 2013 Mock Draft Database.

Now, since my Excel-fu is a bit weak. . .getting the table there to format into HTML was a gigantic pain in the tail until I figured out what I was doing. . .I can't offer you a pie graph. But, you know what's better than pie anyway?

A donut graph!

Mmmmmmmmmm. . .donut graph.

Of the 34 drafts we have presented here, 21 (61.8%) have the Vikings selecting a wide receiver in the first round of this year's selection meeting. 11 (32.4%) have them going after a defensive tackle, with one vote each for a cornerback or a linebacker (about 2.9% for each position).

As I said, as we progress along, we will likely have more drafts to add to this, but this gives us a pretty good first guess at which direction the "experts" think the Minnesota Vikings will be going in the 2013 NFL Draft. Again, I will effort to update this on Saturdays for everyone to have a look at.

Do you agree with what this is saying, folks? Are the Vikings destined to take a wide receiver or a defensive tackle with their first selection?
