Week 9 - Which College Players Are Future Vikings 2022

Week 8 had it’s own surprises which is a common occurrence in college football. Clemson had it’s hands full against Syracuse and had to come from behind to pull off the win. LSU upset Ole Miss and climbed to #18 in the rankings. Oregon took UCLA to the woodshed which was a slight surprise.

The games I am looking forward to this weekend are 2 Ohio State at 13 Penn State, Florida vs. 1 Georgia, 19 Kentucky at 3 Tennessee, 10 USC at Arizona, and 15 Ole Miss at Texas A&M.

Would the team take a QB next year to obviously sit one year? Would it be a wise investment? Hard to say for sure right now but I think the odds are fair. Hooker is climbing draft boards and is thought by some to be a borderline first rounder which is where the team would be taking him in this mock.

I am biased about Tuli but he has been the best player on the Trojans defense and is tied for third in sacks for the entire nation.

I saw Kincaid slay my Trojans so I know how good he is and I am not sure an additional likely significant investment in Irv Smith Jr will be worthwhile.

McDonald is more of the 3-4 OLB/DE and has had an impressive career.

Raym is a center prospect to groom possibly behind Bradbury. Still not sure about center yet.

Well, enjoy the games and don’t forget to post who you will be watching.
