Draft Day thread

[CharVike]

I don't get embarrassing. Convoluted, sure. A bit mold-breaking by giving two division rivals their shot at premier WR's? Yup. Way too complex to have actually been (even roughly) planned out? Sure on all those.

For me it'll only be embarrassing if and when most of this draft class fails on the field. And then there will be a lot of 'splainin' to do.

And I would have loved to hear Kwesi's justification to the owners on the trades with NFCC teams and how that's a rule that's outdated/overrated/unnecessary.

I am surprised Kwesi has not traded with Bears yet

There's still time.

So lemme try to get this straight, the Vikings have traded

12,
46,
77,
156,
199,

32, (Cine)
42, (Booth)
59, (Ingram)
66, (Asamoah)
118, (Evans)
165,
169,

One thing I love about Kwesi is he doesn't give a rat's #### about trading within the division. Make the best trade you can for your team.

It would be just fine with me.

Gave up a 4 next year bow deal a 4 for 2 5s. Wanted Farrell there

Wha?

Who the hell is Farrell?

Surprised they took Ingram with his off field history. Charges were dropped, but he doesn't seem the type worth the risk

Off field history? That's putting it lightly. Those that had a problem with Deshaun should be sick the Vikings picked Ingram.

Don't know what he was accused of but it appears charges were dropped, no? That doesn't make him innocent any more than the initial charges made him guilty, so I guess its best left alone unless one has a lot more information than I do.

Vikings get Otomewo from Minnesota

[VikingsVictorious]

That was quick

What was quick?

Vikings draft a Gopher

Pre-Draft Analysis
Otomewo is a big defensive end with the strength to hold his ground and the length to press blockers off his frame. He chases with good effort and makes some plays in pursuit. He flashes violent hands and has some upside as an interior pass-rusher. Two of his three sacks last season came in the bowl game, and he doesn't have ideal burst or change of direction for an edge rusher. -- Steve Muench

Seems like a Spielman pick.

Ty Chandler, more speed baby

[VikingsVictorious]

Vikings take a RB.
Sounds like a good value.

Pre-Draft Analysis
Chandler is explosive yet doesn't need to gear down to maneuver through tight spaces. He is high-cut with a lean frame but runs behind his pads and shows surprisingly good contact balance. He's a hands catcher with good upside as a receiver. Chandler shows good awareness, takes quality angles and puts his face in the fire in pass pro. -- Steve Muench
