I am already pissed off at the pick, and the Vikes don't draft for another 8 hours!!!!

I'm already pissed they didn't draft a center until the sixth round.

Ha! You think they'll draft a center? You poor, deluded fan.

Just kidding. It could happen. I figure they'll go defense in rounds 1-5 just to tick me off, grab that center at 6 and worry about the rest of the offense after that.

I'm interested to see if we draft any Buckeyes.

I would be pretty happy with Vonn Bell as an Ohio State pick, in the 2nd round. Would give us a pretty nice safety core.

What's the over-under on Daunte getting his roll on before he announces the pick?

I think it would be cooler if he did it after announcing the pick, as a celebration. I'd love to see that!

It's likely he does it, right? Either when he's announced or after he announces the pick. I'd put 75% chance on the former and 25% on the latter.

I would be happy with that. He could be our next Winfield. Could be I reiterate.

I don't know if it's likely or not but you have me hoping to see it.

So, what are the odds that the Vikings trade out of their #23 spot? Mark Craig reported yesterday that Spielman says he's received calls from 2 teams about possibly moving into that position.

4% he trades up and about 75% trading down?

I did a bunch of mocks, and in about 75% of them, Graham Glasgow was in the top 5 best available in the 5th round, and I always took him
So I'm predicting Graham Glasgow to the Vikes in the 5th!!!!

I am ready. Not as excited for this draft this year as in year's past, but hey, it is the draft.

Sure, why not? I have no idea what percentages to put on it so those work for me.

I feel the same way... and I am still excited. I'm eager for it start! I enjoy the spectacle and chaos of the whole thing.

You can basically just put the entire Ohio St. team uo for draft. Talk about talent.
