Any news from today? I've been run off my feet

Im sure they are waiting on the mini-camp next week to look our young LBs over to see whats what and to see if Mack drops to 8.

It's sad but I don't think Mack makes it to us now...

Randelllll....Ya Ford bastard...Who do want thee Vikes to yank with the #8?

Me...JF

You...?

 

[JohnRandle]

I'd be ok with JF, or Mack, but I don't think either will be there.
If that's the case, I'd say trade back a few picks and get Mosely or Dennard later in first and nab Mettenberger in 2nd or 3rd.

 

[Nosferatu]

No to Johnny Football, I promise that kid will bust.

I wouldn't mind trading back a few spots and picking Justin Gilbert.

I can live with those. OL are always a + to stockup on.

 

[JohnRandle]

A couple quality Guards would be nice.

Yeah, him too.

Agreed about Johnny he will not pan out..at all.


But Nos, you seeing that Carr is starting to turn more heads at his work outs??

Yes hockey but I worry about his ability to go through his reads and when facing good teams he didn't do to well. He's got a good arm and I do think he's risen up boards but I do not want him at 8 and he won't be there in the 2nd round.

What about someone like Tom Savage with our 3rd round pick from the Seahawks?

I don't know a lot about Savage but it does sound like he could be a pretty good pick come the 3rd round. I definitely like the idea of a strong armed qb.

I agree that taking Carr at 8 is definitely a big time gamble but trading back a little bit I do like the prospects of it. The fact that he has played in a pro style system and has played in multiple different systems is intriguing.

We'll definitely see though. If Mack is still around at 8 I am all aboard that selection as well.

I am the Vikes in a mock draft and this is what I've done so far... Can't say i'm really crazy about my first pick but I couldn't trade back and Mack was gone.


Minnesota 2.8 & 7.8 to San Diego for 2.25, 3.25, 6.25 & 7.25
Minnesota 3.8 to Green Bay for 3.21, 4.21 & 6.21


Minnesota
1.08 : Anthony Barr - OLB - UCLA
2.25 : Gabe Jackson - OG - Mississippi St.
3.21 : Ego Ferguson - DT - LSU
3.25 : Yawin Smallwood - ILB - Connecticut

IMO Carr is a stretch in the first round altogether.
I like Mettenberger in the 3rd, but I think realistically he goes later in 2nd. But that's who I want even if JF is there at #8.

If I had to choose between Carr and JF at #8 I would take Carr. But I hope we draft neither of them that early. Carr won't make the 2nd round but I wouldn't be against him in the 2nd but i'm with JR, I want Mettenberger but he won't make it to the 3rd round.

I see even Mel Wiper has JF going to the Vikes at #8 IF he is still there.

I keep hearing the Texans want him.
