looks like a huge reach. Kind of surprised they didn't go with a CB. Oh well, Browner was wearing a sweet suit :v):

don't particularly like this pick, I don't know a lot about the kid, remember his name coming up in the combine. This was a deep RB draft class, would rather waited to pick one in the 5th. Interested to see what Spielman and co. have to say about this one

Sounds like he may transition to S in the pros. I wonder if that's the plan.

He didn't even take too many hand offs in College-- he ran called runs as QB. Not used to running between tackles. Wicked speed. Here's a recurring theme since we hired Zimmer: he's described as raw.

Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.

Rampant speculation here....but seems like the Browns snuck ahead of the Vikes and took the RB Ricky wanted....then they panicked and reached.

Who knows, but that is my thought.

I love these types of comments. Draft isn't even over and we're already deeming it a failure. Forget waiting 3 years, or even til they put the pads on. Might as well cut the entire draft class in camp :lol:

Not that I love the McKinnon pick, but I've had no issues with the other 3 picks, and think the Bridgewater pick might have been the best pick so far in the entire NFL draft.

Rodgers to Rodgers. That's going to be hella annoying.
Good point...well, in itself it won't be too annoying....but ESPN talking about it constantly will be

I think he wanted Desir, which I do too. With no 4th rounder, it's going to be hard to address our secondary....[/quote]

Seems like a whole lot of headbanging :wallbang: The draft isn't even over yet and there is now until the season starts to trade for or pick up veteren player to fill in at needed.
