PFF projects him best to 3-4 ILB, I wonder if they brought him in for that purpose? Really reaching here, but having versatility to play ore 3-4 could be possibility?dead_poet wrote: Yeah. We already have Brothers, too. They must see something in him. I'll be curious to see if Kendricks stays at ILB or moves to OLB with Brothers or Gedeon at ILB in base and Kendricks moving to the middle on nickel.
would have been a great ST pick with one of our FOUR 7th roundersYikesVikes wrote:Just when i was going to give RS credit he #### the bed. At best hes or 3rd string MLB. Why draft him here when we need OTs and a tall Wr. The guy from VT would have been my pick. We need someone that can win a jump ball in the redzone. KR doesnt allways get it done
He does so well early in the drafts anf the he just #### the 4th 5th and 6th rounds (here is where everyone points to Diggs). Wasted picks.VikingPaul73 wrote: would have been a great ST pick with one of our FOUR 7th rounders

Well, at least his first three picks have a high likelihood to contribute soon.VikingPaul73 wrote: would have been a great ST pick with one of our FOUR 7th rounders

Your statement about him being straight hood is very far off. The issues he had are so overblown its funny.mondry wrote:I like trading out of the 2nd day rather than making a snap pick if the guys they had on their radar got scooped up right before our pick. Now they have an extra half day to really take their time and make the best decisions possible.
Cook terrify's me, he's straight hood and has had a life time of small screw ups and appears to be easily manipulated by scum bags and now he's going to be rich. I love his talent and he's a Viking so I'm hoping it all works out but I wouldn't be shocked if he's the kind of guy who gets suspended a lot. I read his story and yeah it's great to try and blame it on all the bad people around you but if you can't say no to those kinds of people and you hang out with those kinds of people and you're always around trouble, trouble will find you. But let's hope that's not who he really is for our sake.
I do like that his COACHES vouch for his work ethic and character and I really hope we are getting THAT guy but boy am I skeptical.
Honestly I'd be less worried about Mixon getting suspended who made one REALLY big mistake when he was young but before that mistake and after it has been more or less an ideal citizen.
If it makes you feel any better, the odds of round 4+ players on any team having long careers is pretty slim. Would be interesting to compare Rick to others in these rounds. It feels like he's not great but I'd want to see the comparison.YikesVikes wrote: He does so well early in the drafts anf the he just #### the 4th 5th and 6th rounds (here is where everyone points to Diggs).

Looking into him more, all I can think is they want to be able to go 3-4 situationally. I don't get it otherwise.Husker Vike wrote:Looks to me Gedeon might be used only on short yardage, run downs, no way he will cover anyone.
