Congratulations on graduating! I guess you dealt with that Frosted Flakes question effectively, eh?frosted21 wrote:BTW, the final went well and I'm graduating from college on Saturday and the draft starts tomorrow night. It's going to be a good weekend, you guys.
Goes to the highest bidder. In theory, that'd be the Ravens from your scenario. Honestly, the best would be to get multiple "bidders" for our pick and get +value for it.fiestavike wrote: I've heard unsubstantiated rumors of cowboys trading up to 8 for Manziel, Ravens trading up to 8 for Ebron, and Jets trading up to 8 for Beckam. I don't know if any of those are likely scenarios but I'd be cool with that.
I think you meant Tim Tebow playing for the Yankees and Brett Favre playing for the Red Sox so they could show Tebow vs. Favre on Sunday night baseball every Sunday night until October!80 PurplePride 84 wrote:If the Cowboys draft Manziel ESPN/NFLN/Twitter will explode.
It's like the media's ultimate wet dream, other than Tim Tebow and Brett Favre becoming baseball players for the Yankees and then curing cancer with the help of LeBron James.
@AlbertBreer: Vikings have identified five players they'd feel comfortable with at 8. Club has talked to five teams about a trade down. Rick Spielman told me what he likes about being at 8 is Vikes should have pick of the litter at several spots -- CB, DT, ILB ... maybe QB. Vikes visited privately w/Manziel, Bridgewater, Bortles, McCarron, Mettenberger, Garoppolo, McCarron, Carr, Savage, Fales on their campuses. Of those nine quarterbacks, Vikings brought Teddy Bridgewater and Tom Savage to Winter Park to get answers on a question mark or two. The Vikings have since dropped the nine QBs in buckets ... Who they'd be comfortable with at 8, at 40, at 72 and so on.
As long as it is a comparable pick value wise, I'm good. 
I've been saying the same thing all week. Consider that quote dead-poet posted a few posts up. the Vikings have spent this offseason diligently checking out the QBs in this draft. I think the only ways they don't take a QB at #8 are if the player they wanted is already off the board or if they believe they can trade down a few spots and still get him or if they're convinced it's someone like Garoppolo and they can actually wait to get him.80 PurplePride 84 wrote:The more people say we won't take a QB tonight, the more it makes me think we will.
I'd love that pick. but I think we go defense first. my money says we go with gilbert and shore up our secondary. luckily I don't have to actually put my money on it.Mothman wrote: I've been saying the same thing all week.

I can't wait to see what happens.
My gut feeling is that Bridgewater is going to the Vikes at #8.
The more I have tried to figure out Minnesota's intention tonight, the more convoluted it becomes. Honestly, my gut is saying it is going to be Anthony Barr or Teddy.Mothman wrote: I've been saying the same thing all week.
