Don't rate Konz?

Forgot about Konz..even more talent

 

[Scully2Folau]

A 5'9" player from Boise State at pick 31?!?

Wait, false alarm.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Wait, false alarm.

Kellen is 3 inches taller.....

 

[Sven]

The Giants take David Wilson - not great value IMO

 

[Shade]

Fleener is still on the board

 

[Woodson]

Another First round reach... Fumble prone David Wilson..

 

[superfreak]

Giants wanted Martin but were guzzumped by Tampa Bay.

 

[Sven]

I love the first round picks for the Vikings. The team addressed two of their biggest needs with Kalil and Smith and can look at WR and CB tomorrow.

WR and CB are deep so there will definitely be some value to be had IMO.

 

[aussiedude]

Fleener is still on the board

i didnt think anyone would take a TE round 1, but Luck would love his #1 target to join him in indy

 

[Toadvine]

Happy with our trade now knowing who's left. What time EST does the 2nd round start tomorrow?

 

[Tannehill17]

Hoping Seattle gets Mychal Kendricks and Kirk Cousins tomorrow. Need another linebacker and could do with a backup qb with potential. T-Jack is useless

 

[Scully2Folau]

Kellen is 3 inches taller.....

Oh, hi DB!

Give him protection first.............Actually, nah, go Fleener, I'd enjoy seeing the new David Carr

BRING ON ROUND TWO!!

 

[Sven]

Currently the Vikings don't have a second round pick, but with Vikings having: a Third (pick 66), 4 Fourth round picks (98, 118, 128, 134), 2 Fifth round picks (138, 139), a Sixth (175), and three Seventh round picks (210, 211, 223) I'd expect them to move up into the 2nd round at some stage.

 

[Dagless]

As long as we trade up for Hill, I'm happy.

Osi for an early second

 

[GreyWind]

At first I was annoyed with the Packers taking Perry, but now I'm loving the pick. Moving him from DE to OLB opposite Matthews and I think that this kid could become a very good pass rusher. Now we do need a pass rushing DE in the second, expecting to trade up this round.

Pissing off the seventh round picks would be something I expect the Vikes to offload.. in saying that, wonder how many picks the Vikes are willing to offload to get back into the second or maybe another third?

 

[Dagless]

The NYGs very own Dancing Queen*. If only he turns into half the player the original turned out to be.

*50 points for classic BF reference.

They could package up their 3rd and two tradeable 4th rounders to get to the middle of the 2nd, but I can't see that happening. As I said the next two big needs for the Vikings (WR and CB) are deep so they can probably afford to wait until late in the 3rd and maybe swing a deal where they trade down in the third and exchange a couple of their 4th for a late second rounder.

Another scenario is they'll try a get another mid round third.

EDIT: my post meant to say "As I said the next two big needs for the Vikings (WR and CB) are deep so they can probably afford to wait until late in the 2nd"
