geaux_sioux Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 The Vikings better not throw out the rest of their picks to move up and get manti. If they do he better be worth it. 1 Quote
Oxbow6 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Lacy is a dude. Absolute dude. If the Vikes didn't have AP I'd be screaming at them for passing on him. Watch the SEC championship and the national championship game and tell me he wasn't the best player on the field. Agree. IMO part of a solid D is keeping your offense on the field. There wasn't a team in the NFL that threw the ball more on 3rd and 1 (or 2) then GB. It's great to score on an 80 yard 5 play drive but sometimes you need to grind out a 1st down or a long sustained drive. Quote
FightingSuhaki Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I'm still shocked that Floyd fell that far. Spiel an said he did hundreds of mocks and not once did that scenario play out! Quote
geaux_sioux Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Last nights first round could make Spielman look like a genius with a big ol set if the players all make huge impacts and develope properly. If they bust he's gonna look like a moron and it will set the Vikings back for years like when they whiffed on Williamson and James in 2005. Quote
Five-HoleFrenzy Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I could be wrong but Floyd looks like he is a potential day 1 starter and Rhodes is a guy that gives them, at the very least, added depth in the secondary and will get on the field as the third or forth DB. Patterson probably has the biggest bust factor of the three but he does give them some interesting options for special teams and certain sets on offense, like lining up in the backfield somewhat similar to what they did with Harvin. Oh and Ed Lacey reminds me of Ron Dayne. Quote

Fetch Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 I think I like what happened - but then I'm a Vikings Fan & have stuck with them thru thin & thinner Quote
Wilbur Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 I'm happy overall with the picks. Had to get a kick returner, had to get a big body to play next to Kevin in the middle. I'm just terrified about the linebacker situation. Guess there is a lot of draft to go, but I was surprised that of the three picks not one was a linebacker. Quote

They just got better on offense....did they need to get better? Quote
Oxbow6 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 And the pack gets Lacy anyways. They just got better on offense....did they need to get better? Wow...drops that far!! He'll make a difference. Name the last team to have 100 yard rusher? Hopefully that changes early on this season. Quote
Wilbur Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Wow...drops that far!! He'll make a difference. Name the last team to have 100 yard rusher? Hopefully that changes early on this season. Well, and add to that he had Nick Saban as a coach so you know he hasn't been coached at all.... Green Bay will win the division anyways. I think Lacy is a steal where they got him. Quote

Wilbur Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 The Vikings decide that its better to have a punter then a number of other far more talented athletes. A Punter instead of a Theo Riddick....yeah....stupid. I don't care if Kluwe is a giant douche who nobody likes. You can find a punter anywhere. Quote
