Looking like we'll be going interior OL to me. Elflein hopefully. Hated seeing Moton go. I was hoping he might slide to us.

I honestly don't know if there's really a big drop off from a guy like Elflein and Feeney to your Asiata or Johnson's that may be around.

If Dede Westbrook or Cooper Kupp is around, do you go that route?

It's Elflein.

Good pick.

I think the Vikings have selected two guys who are fits in what they are looking for, but are getting really low relative value given the strength of the positions they are drafting this year. And twice traded up to do so! I'd have to give them a poor grade on how they are doing, even though both players will be good contributors.

I think so too, I like his ability to play center or either guard position.

Anyone know what we gave up to move from 79?

Hard to argue any moves so far this year. I'm glad for the local guy. Good kid.
OH!-IO! :roll:

Between last year, and how the draft is going this year, it feels like thay have sunk into 'win now' mode. Getting depressing.

Would you rather they didn't win so soon? :D

I don't see anything worth getting depressed about. We seem to have taken two quality FB players at positions we needed.

We gave up a 5th rounder.

Think it was a good move given how thin this OL class is.

Essentially, the Vikings got a starting QB, RB, C so far. The three most important positions on offense.
