2014 NFL Draft Discussion Thread - Round 1

[halfgiz]

We all appreciate your psychoanalysis, but getting an extra pick for someone we had no interest in is one of the smartest moves we could have made.

Not really sure why Browns thought they needed to move up for their pick.

Incidentally, I love how the Lions keep adding offensive weapons and ignoring the secondary.

But that offense is pretty lethal right now. If they don't finish in the top 5 in scoring, something is horribly wrong.

Some of you really are clueless. We need a LB and we went defense. He is very athletic and is great off the edge. Its not like Zimmer is clueless, he knows what he's doing. Take a seat and relax

Something is usually horribly wrong with the lions.

What amazes me is that they keep adding skill position talent but they really need to keep upgrading their o-line.

Barr is NOT a 3 down LB. Zimmer is not god nor a miracle worker. Nor is Norv. My lord, we hasn't been a HC a day in his life.

Mark Schlereth calls Anthony Barr a "one dimensional player" who will be "very challenged" at OLB. Said Barr could have been had at 29.

Sigh, another season without a QB......vikes are the cubbies of the nfl!

[King James]

I wonder if the Vikes will trade up into the 1st round again and try to get a Manziel or Bridgewater?

Lol Robison is not happy with Mayock. He must have said something when the pick came in that I missed that he apparently took as a diss.

4-3 is our base defense, MAYBE. We don't even know. Further, look at our division and the offensive weapons on the other teams. The Vikings will be in nickel a lot, where a Griffen/Barr combo has a lot of potential to shine.

I feel better now, Schlereth is a moron. I think Mayock had Barr somewhere around 11th overall?

Edit: 14th

@Andrew_Krammer: Still scratching my head on this one. Barr has never played in a 4-3 scheme from my understanding. Spielman at podium now.

[headless_norseman]

i do wonder if this staff has decided to wait one more year to draft QB........thinking long term?

Win with Cassell now?
