Who should the Vikes draft?

[Bryce]

Good job KFAN getting in all your advertising and missing the first pick.

[LMITOUT]

LOL. Trying to peddle all the open seats for next season. Good luck...

[LMITOUT]

And with the second pick (and the player the Vikings should have had) the Washington Redskins take RGIII. Thanks for playing to the final whistle, Minnesota!

[ted4887]

Vikes will take either Claiborn, or trade the 4 pick.

I never was good at picking during the draft. I like the pick though. Hopefully we address secondary in the following rounds though.

[Born2Fish]

Matt Kalil it is. Good pick, but I really think that most of us knew it was going to be him. They still got their guy, plus picked up 3 more picks. Not too bad.

Lol wow

[Scott M]

Bruce Irvin is off the board :

[FISHINGURU]

Great draft so far lol.

We made Cleveland think we had all kinds of deals brewing so they'd give us something and we knew they wouldn't take our guy.

Got some extra ammo to make any moves later in the draft.

Gotta like getting a free 4th, 5th and 7th and still walk away with your guy.

[james_walleye]

I can't believe Adam Shefter gets paid......

[schmitty3]

Vikes traded the 35th pick and a 4th rd pick for the 29th pick and got safety Harrison Smith outta ND

[james_walleye]

Love it

[zepman]

Excellent pick and move by Spielman. Only gave up one of our four 4th round picks to get the player they wanted. Take that deal all day long.

Two huge positions of need taken care of on the first night.

[Scott K]

I would have waited it out to our pick, and if Janoris Jenkins was there take him, if not, take Smith.

[james_walleye]

Jenkins and all his problems will probably still be there in the third and I still wouldn't touch him.

[LMITOUT]

Character issues are hardly a factor for this team at this point. Harvin, Randy Moss pt 2, Cook, and now Simpson.

The "culture of accountability" is long gone. Bring on Jenkins and hire a good trial lawyer.

I figured Jenkins would fit right in.

[LMITOUT]

Love it

If they picked Bruce Irvin you'd "love it".

[james_walleye]

Lol....as if your any better on the flip side.....

[FISHINGURU]

Spielman is stepping it up, real nice beginning of the draft.

[nofishfisherman]

Well I like the looks of the draft so far. We still need to wait and see if they can play at all but regardless you do have to give Speilman credit for filling 2 holes in the first round without having to give up anything.

Well played Spielman, well played.

[YiGGiN4SLoBS]

Ok..... I like the trade to aquire 3 more picks and still get the guy you all wanted.' But then instead of using those picks to trade up and get an IMPACT player at a skill position... We trade up to get Harrison Smith, aka Tyrell Johnson. YES, safety was a need. But now we dont have a pick until 66 and we still dont have a WR or a CB. Trade up and get Kirkpatrick or FLoyd! Trade up and get the Baylor wide out....Not Harrison Smith! Good luck with all those 4th rounders ricky, you'll need it.

Sorry to be a downer, but we're picking in the top 5 again next year... What a joy to live in loserville USA!

[klecker]

good luck!

[FISHINGURU]

Sorry to be a downer

Is that you Debbie?

We signed two free agent corners who are better than anything we had back there last year. Got Cook back who is a major plus. Just signed Simpson as a WR.

You have to be foolish not to see these two picks coming. We had no left tackle...none. Kalil wore a purple tie to the draft party. Hmmmm...

Safety was literally the only position we didn't adress during the off-season. Safety was, and has been, our weekest link on the defensive side of the ball for the better part of 5 years. Smith is a day one starter. He went exactly where most of the "draft-gurus" thought he'd go. End of the 1st...beginning of the second.

Sorry the Vikes didn't add any fantasy players for you YIGGIN...they just got a whole lot better by adding the two players they did to this roster. Not only are our corners better than last year...we now have someone who'll actually support them over the top and on the edge.

WR has not come off the board yet...there is a reason for that.

Vikes need to look for a MLB who can threaten to start in the 3rd...go all skill positions in the 4th...hope to hit on 2 of the 3.

Wouldn't be suprised at all to see them trade up in the 2nd to take another need. MLB or WR.

[harvey lee]

Looks like the Vikes filled a few of the larger issues. Now we will hope they can play as advertised. This will take more than 1 season to fix our issues.

I might guess that Ziggy will get the needed players for a contending team by the time the new stadium is built.

Few more years and those Packer people and players will say, wow, those guys from Mn are getting after us.
