Who should the Vikes draft?

[Scott K]

Like another 1st next year! Or a second and third pick this year.

[zepman]

The extra #1 for next year will come in handy when we need to get Barkley!!

[BuckSutherland]

No way Kalil gets past the rams.

[soldoncass]

Some observations of the Vikes signings so far. We are getting faster/quicker....Todman, Taylor, Walter, are all speed guys with promise. We tried to get rb Locke last year, but he had health problems. I like that focus a LOT, and believe that will continue.

Another thing I looked at was a video of Chris Carter catches....they reminded me of Blackmon....maybe he will be our first pick after all. I'm all for speed, but Williamson proved hands are more important, for a receiver. Spielman is mentioning Kalil and Clairborne... but NOT Blackmon(nice misdirection play).

At this moment I think we will roll with Johnson and Love at LT, and draft more "playmakers"(offence and defense). If he can add a couple more draft pics, and still get his guys, he will do that.

I'm so looking toward the draft, to see how it all plays out.

[FISHINGURU]

I doubt Kalil will get past #4 no matter what happens.

[YiGGiN4SLoBS]

Cleveland aint takin' Kalil, unless they're unhappy with Joe Thomas they're gonna go blackmon or tannehill... Tampa maybe, more likely Richardson?? Rams took a tackle with the #2 pick a couple years ago, i think they take Blackmon if hes there or Claiborne... I dont know if Kalil is a synch to be taken right away if we trade down

[YiGGiN4SLoBS]

Rumor that Claiborne scored a 4 on the wonder-lick test. Gross

[TR21HP]

Wasn't a rumor but considering the average score for an NFL player is 20 I guess that's not out of the question. The Wonderlic test is a cognitive test based on time as well. All one has to do is be poor at taking tests and he or she does poorly. I'm sure there are plenty of players in the NFL who scored poorly and plenty who took the test and scored high that never made it in the league.

I mean, you could just randomly guess on all of the multiple choice ones and get a better score than 4... just sayin

word is he has a learning disability. doesn't matter much for CB, if they kid can play he can play

Agreed, but I garuntee it threw up a red flag for some GM's! I wonder if he actually drops?

[FISHINGURU]

Mama says, "Stupid is as stupid does."

[LABS4ME]

I've taken the Wonderlic several times in job interviews... many of the questions are at Elementary level... you'd REALLY need a learning disability to score a 4. And he was in college how?

It would at least show if he can think and has any sort of ability to retain knowledge... It should factor into your decision to draft him... but it won't.

Good Luck!

I get a kick out of the scores some of these guys post on this test. If for nothing else, it should demand an immediate investigation to the school these kids were attending.

How on earth did this kid get into LSU and the better question...how did he stay academically eligible once there.

It's been proven time and time again, that it will not effect where and when he gets drafted.

[Scott K]

Most 4th graders should be able to get double digit+ score. So if that tells you anything.

[corncob]

Football,run fast,throw ball,catch ball,tackle guy with ball,make fool of self by celebrating in end zone.......What more do you want???????

[Scott K]

They should teach how to sext, and not get caught. I know that would have helped a few players out

[FISHINGURU]

I heard if you pick A for every question on the test you'd score like a 12.

[Scott M]

Lots of noise about Tannehill and teams moving up to 3 to get him. We'll see.

[zepman]

For what it's worth...read today that Shefter would put his $$$ down that the Vikes will NOT select Kahlil with the #3 pick.

Kind of interesting...

[TR21HP]

For what it's worth just about sums up anything ESPN aka the E channel has to say about sports in general. What a useless piece of airwave consumption.

If I had a dollar for every time Schefter has been wrong in the past few years I could retire early. He may turn out to be right on this, but I trust his opinion less than any other network pundit out there.

haha Adam Schefter reports are usually wrong more times than right.

[goblueM]

I would be surprised if a team traded up to 3 for Tannehill. They'd be way overdrafting AND overpaying to get that pick. It'd be a ridiculous gamble. I don't think he's that highly rated over Weeden, Cousins, Wilson etc to warrant getting picked Top 5 when you could get one of those guys in the 2nd round.

I will be extremely surprised if the Vikings are able to trade out of the 3 spot, and even more if they pass on Kalil to take Blackmon

[Scott K]

What he said! ^^^

[LABS4ME]

Though I could see them 50-50 going the Claibourne route....

Good Luck!
