It is possible but I do not know why Redskins would do that since that would mean they gave up on Haskins already when he barely getting his career started
Because Tua's a much better QB prospect and they can recoup the pick they used on Haskins. My best guess if that Haskins probably wouldn't get a first because his rookie year was underwhelming.

Malcolm Perry QB for Navy Rushed for over 2000 yards this year. He's also a dynamic pass receiver. he will be a WR or RB in the NFL. I want him on my Vikings.
The highlights are mind blowing.

Amik Robertson is one of the guys I always try to get in every mock. He might be the player I would most regret missing out on in this draft.

Ben Goesling participated in a mock today and picked for the Vikings. He took Josh Jones with the pick at 22. Click the link to find out who he took at 25.

Enjoyed watching that, thanks for posting it.

I don't know how I feel about Gladney. I've watched him a ton at TCU and think highly of him, but I'm a bit surprised that he's considered a 1st round pick. He definitely stood out on D for the Horned Frogs. His size is not really what Zimmer covets, but I see a lot of people predicting that we'll choose him anyway. I do love how aggressive and confident he is. I'd be in "wait and see" mode if were were to make this pick.

For what its worth, he's not so great on the SPARQ score, which the Vikings do seem to put some stock in.

I can see Vikings picking Gladney if all the better cornerbacks are taken

Who do you mean by better CBs? He's typically ranked about 4th at the CBs behind Okudah, Henderson and Fulton. Would you consider Johnson, Terrell, Igbinoghene better?

Neville Gallimore is exactly what we have been lacking at 3 technique. He's like Aaron Donald. He's a guy I'd love to see them draft at 25.

Another guy I'd like to see them draft in the 4th round is J.R. Reed the son of Jake. I think he could develop into a starter and play in big nickel packages. I love bloodlines. Give me Reed, Winfield Jr., Michael Pittman Jr., and Jon Runyan Jr., and Thaddeus Moss all day and twice on draft day. :popcorn:

I would bet that he's available at 58.

It will be close. A few picks one way or the other.
