Xavier Su'a-Filo is still there. Could easily last to 40. Wouldn't be a bad consolation prize.

After thinking about this I trust Zimmer so I trust Anthony Barr. We will have a mean front seven if anything. And If we can get a good CB our defense will be unstoppable.

Mosely's the guy I wanted… but that was based on the D that we've had for the past few years. I have to think Zimmer's got a plan for how he wants to use the raw physical talent of Barr.

Barr's an intriguing pick at the very least.

If Manziel and Bridgewater go in the 20s then it's probably Carr, McCarron, Garroppolo in the 2nd with a lot of QB needy teams ahead of us. It will be interesting if Spielman stays patient or not. I just hope he doesn't trade away next year picks.

@mattvensel 16m
Zimmer said Chad Greenway can play anywhere. Mike maybe?
@mattvensel 16m
Zimmer thinks Barr's role will compare well to Von Miller's.
@GoesslingESPN 15m
Zimmer says positions are switched in his defense from what #Vikings had in past; Will linebacker in his D is a Sam linebacker in Frazier's

I wouldn't mind. Winston is the #1 QB next year from most things I've heard. And I wouldn't sign him as an undrafted free agent. So Manziel or Bridgewater for our 2nd/2nd next year/something? Do it Do it!

Doesn't seem like his style. At least, not high-rounders. Don't forget about Mettenberger. Still, I wouldn't be upset if they passed on a QB in the second and went CB, S or guard.

I have a small feeling, slick ricky will trade back up and take a QB. With Manziel falling this far, I actually wouldn't mind us taking him now.
