I'm starting to think Seattle is the one that can't evaluate OL well. I had Feeney and Elflein both ahead of PocicS197 wrote:There goes Pocic, damn you Seattle.
When a talent like that is sitting there, you go get him. Philly was all over himVikingPaul73 wrote:just like Cook, I like the pick. and just like cook, not sure they had to trade up to get him
Eh, it was a 5th and Feeney went right after so I'm alright with it. They still have a 3rd and 4th pick.fiestavike wrote:
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.
Primarily its that they seem to be paying no attention to relative value. the tradeups dont make me feel any better about it though.S197 wrote: Eh, it was a 5th and Feeney went right after so I'm alright with it. They still have a 3rd and 4th pick.
I don't follow. Cook was the #1 RB by PFF and I think top 32 pick by Mayock. Elflein likely the #1 or #2 C depending on where you have Pocic.fiestavike wrote: Primarily its that they seem to be paying no attention to relative value. the tradeups dont make me feel any better about it though.
Michael Roberts, Julie'n Davenport also interesting.S197 wrote:Caleb Brantley or Dede Westbrook would not be bad options.
I like both players they picked, but there will be other really good RBs and interior OL available in the 4th and 5th. Not so much with their other positions of need. It is what it is. I think Cook and Elflein will both fit in and play well for the Vikings.S197 wrote: I don't follow. Cook was the #1 RB by PFF and I think top 32 pick by Mayock.

He's also in the running with Taxadermist McKinley for my 'worst name of the draft' award.Husker Vike wrote:Michael Roberts, Julie'n Davenport also interesting. I agree Davenport played at Bucknell, but is very long and could surprise as he has the proto typical LT body
Is that the guys real name?fiestavike wrote: He's also in the running with Taxadermist McKinley for my 'worst name of the draft' award.
