Vikings Daily Mock 3.29

Another day. Another mock. How can the Vikings get Desean Jackson? Would he be a good fit and how would that affect this mock draft? Do the Vikings even have the cap space and more importantly, would he want to come here? Well, luckily for you, this is not about signing DeSean.

I use the http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/ site to do the draft. They have a premium feature that allows for trades and they are more reasonable than the ones at first-pick.com. They have 3 big boards you can choose to use for the player rankings (fanspeak, walterfootball, & optimumscouting).

In this mock I used the optimumscouting big board.

1st trade - 1.8, 3.8, 6.8, & a 2015 2nd to the Browns for 1.4
2nd trade - 2015 1st to the 49ers for 1.30, 2.24, & 4.29
3rd trade - 2.24 to the 49ers for 2.29, 5.30, & 6.8
4th trade - 2.8, 4.8, & 7.8 to the Redskins for 2.2 & 5.2
5th trade - 2.29 to the Seahawks for 2.32 & 5.32
6th trade - 2.29 & 5.30 to the Bills for 3.9 & 4.9
7th trade - 3.8 to the Dolphins for 3.17 & 5.15

1.4 DE JADEVEON CLOWNEY SOUTH CAROLINA
1.30 CB JUSTIN GILBERT OKLAHOMA STATE
2.2 QB DEREK CARR FRESNO STATE
3.17 OLB CHRISTIAN JONES FLORIDA STATE
3.32 RB BISHOP SANKEY WASHINGTON
4.9 DT WILL SUTTON ARIZONA STATE
4.29 ILB LAMIN BARROW LSU
5.2 WR DONTE MONCRIEF OLE MISS
5.8 RB DE ANTHONY THOMAS OREGON
5.15 DT KELCY QUARLES SOUTH CAROLINA
5.32 C MARCUS MARTIN USC
6.8 TE COLT LYERLA OREGON

Obviously, this is a crazy mock draft. Giving up the 1st and 2nd for next year is gambling big time. Then trading down to get more picks passing on better players like Kouandjio and Tuitt. More lunacy.

To be honest this is just something I did for the heck of it. Optimumscouting has a different big board. But this draft was cuckoo. Pierre Desir going before Dennard? WTF? Well, at least it was the Lions. Mike Evans lasted all the way to #49. Wow! I was thinking about moving up to grab him. I kind of like this draft. There are some reclamation projects where I think Zimmer may excel. For those worried about guard, I selected Marcus Martin who played left guard his first two years at USC. And this is right about the area Spielman likes to find his guards.

If this draft went down then you know I would be looking to trade Robison for a pick. I am thinking the Bengals could be a candidate since they took Aaron Lynch in the 2nd round. What? I also could see the Vikings keeping Robison for one more year too. Nothing wrong with having excellent depth. In April of 2015, Robison will turn 32. The clock is ticking.

Here is the entire draft ...
