So, we're now up to the next round of voting that will determine spots 41-45 on our board. As always, you're ranking your top five players on this board based on any criteria that you see fit. We're basically asking who you'd want the Minnesota Vikings to pick if they were on the board in this year's draft and the following group of players were available.
The scoring system, to refresh everyone's memory, looks like this for this round:
41st-place vote = 5 points
42nd-place vote = 4 points
43rd-place vote = 3 points
44th-place vote = 2 points
45th-place vote = 1 point
With that, here is the board for this time around, ladies and gentlemen. Feel free to discuss and/or defend your selections for this session in the comments section.
