Was wondering why a RB. But Mattison is probably going to want a chance at FA. Have a suspicion that Mattison is traded this season as someone will suffer a season ending injury and throw us a top pick for him.

Mattison is great and we need somebody good backing up Cook. I think 3rd round pick is the best we could hope for and maybe not worth it.

Official combine 40 is 4.38. I would not be surprised to see us switch him to WR.

Mattison is a middling player. Was hoping he would turn out to be better but to me he's just a decent RB.

We disagree. I think he would start for half the teams in the NFL or better.

Oh no. Certainly not.

Mattison lacks vision. He’s a downhill runner that just plows into people. I’m okay with moving on. Lot of speed between Kene and the new guy.

Vikings get Vederian Lowe offense tackle from Illinois

He might be better in a power scheme, but he has not thrived in the Vikings scheme. He just doesn't make the most of what's on the field.

Lowe is big enough to cover up defenders, but he plays high and gets stood up. He has long arms, and he's tough to shake once he gets his hands inside and locks on, but his hand placement is inconsistent. He oversets and struggles to recover. -- Steve Muench

Sounds like the perfect Vikings OL

Lowe has started at LT since his freshman year.
Married with 2 kids. Another very mature player with great character and great upside. Has a reason to bust his A$$ at practice and off the field.
Long arms and huge hands. Has a chance to stick at swing T or inside at G.
Probably a PS player with potential upside

Just an fyi.... We have a new OL coach !!!

Why does Kwesi keep talking about how 'he feels' and how making the pick is a 'special moment' for him in all the pressers? Guess what, we don't care. Is personalizing like that meant to be disarming and put off getting difficult questions, or it just reflexive and reflective of where we are as a culture?


And every draft call they show..."we're chasing dreams". Good grief.

Nice knowing ya Mattison.

I'd like Kevin Austin, WR ND with the next pick plz

Edit: Took Jalen Nailor, WR MichSt
