Week 9 is here and the college season and we are just past the halfway point of the season. it looks like Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, Clemson, Oklahoma, and Penn State are the top teams. There are some other one loss teams and a couple of undefeated teams (Baylor & Minnesota) that might eventually end up in the championship games.
I am going to list some games where there are possible future Vikings.

27: R1P27 WR CEEDEE LAMB OKLAHOMA 6’2” - 189

63: R2P31 DL NEVILLE GALLIMORE OKLAHOMA 6’2” - 330
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/19136943/1043136286.jpg.jpg)
From Feldman: “The Canadian import who grew up playing soccer, basketball and volleyball moves up one spot from last year. He’s down to 305 pounds from 330, but he bench presses 500 pounds and squats 800. He cleans 405. The most impressive number of all is that he clocked a 4.76 in the 40. The fastest 300-pounder at this year’s NFL Scouting Combine -- 303-pound Quinnen Williams -- ran a 4.83, which is remarkable.
”Last year, Gallimore had a solid year with 50 tackles, 5.5 TFLs, three sacks and two forced fumbles. Sooners fans are hoping Gallimore can take a big step forward as OU transitions to Alex Grinch’s new scheme.”

:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/19258940/1075420716.jpg.jpg)
From Feldman: “The top cover man in the Big 12, Gladney had the lowest passer rating allowed (46.9), according to PFF and had a team-high 13 pass breakups, which placed second in the Big 12. The 185-pound Gladney isn’t just extremely fast -- he ran a 4.34 in the 40 this offseason -- but he’s insanely strong for his size. According to the Horned Frogs staff, he squats 620 pounds, benches 400 and cleans 400.”
158: R5P14 S KYLE DUGGER LENOIR-RHYNE 6’1” - 215
https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/kyle-dugger-a-d-ii-diamond-for-the-nfl-draft
The 6-2, 217-pounder is a late bloomer from Atlanta with big-time athleticism. Dugger has run a verified 4.41 40 for scouts. Even more impressively, he’s vertical jumped 40 inches and broad jumped 11 feet. He also did 20 reps on the bench of 225 this offseason and timed 6.7 in the 3-cone drill, which would have been the second quickest time among safeties at the NFL Combine in 2019.
205: R6P27 LB JUSTIN STRNAD WAKE FOREST 6’3” - 230

3. James Smith-Williams, N.C. State, defensive line
No player on this entire list has had the type of transformation that Smith-Williams has had. He arrived five years ago weighing a spindly 196 pounds. Now he’s a hulking 265. He benches 420, doing 27 reps at 225. He squats 620 and cleans 374. Smith-Williams vertical jumps 40 inches and has clocked a 4.43 in his pro agility time. Earlier this week, he ran an electronically timed 40 at 4.58. The hand time was 4.52.

As usual, I kind of like the second one better.
I assume some may be wondering why I did not select a QB. Well, I think that the Vikings will extend Cousins this off season. I would.
Here is what I would offer ...
4 yr 121 mil extension with a 15 mil signing bonus and convert 20 mil of his 2019 salary into a signing bonus as well.
He will take home 45 mil in 2020, 66 mil by 2021, 90 mil by 2022, 120 mil by 2023, and 151 mil by 2024.
His cap hits would be 18, 21, 31, 37, & 38 mil. If they want to move on after two years the cap savings would be 10, 23, & 31 mil.
Well, enjoy the games!
