Vikes 2013 Draft

[Scott M]

Floyd it is. Big faller.

[Scott M]

Xavier Rhodes...They phoned that one in a hurry.

[DrJuice1980]

Not happy. How can this guy NOT see we need offense? Saw that stat on the bottom, 33 rushes over 20 yards and 22 passes over 20 yards. Come on. At least there's only 1 WR off the board.

[FISHINGURU]

Both picks are nice, I hope we can land Hunter or Patterson comin up.

[Rick]

Don't worry, There is a lot of depth in the draft at the receiver position and LB position yet.

I think it was a good move to get their DT and CB in the 1st. The way this team is made up, a stellar defense will go a long ways.

[FISHINGURU]

No way can you pass on Floyd at that spot, big time value at a position we need.

[thatoneguy]

Perfect picks with the first two. So glad they didn't take Teo. Suld be able to find WR help in round 2-4.

[nofishfisherman]

You can get value at WR later in the draft. I'm glad they went defense. I know its a passing league but if you can run the ball and play defense you still have a shot.

[LMITOUT]

So glad they didn't take Teo.

Yet...

[grizrunner]

Next pick Travis F. Or Patterson

[grizrunner]

Oh no......not Teo

[CaptainMusky]

Wow traded the farm for this guy. Patterson

[DrJuice1980]

A lot to give but very happy. Patterson in purple, got what we needed.

[LMITOUT]

The farm and then some.

Once again, New England shows how it's done. Genius.

[Bran32]

GOOD LORD, what a joke!! Four picks for a guy that needs a QB (which we don't have) to get him the ball!! Well at least the Floyd pick was good!!!

[FISHINGURU]

Little spendy but he's a baller, we need some explosion.

Spielman lets em hang.

[grizrunner]

Whew. Teo bluff afterall. Lotsa picks gone though.

Kick a $$ draft. Best DT. Best CB. 2nd best Wr. (IMO)

[Rick]

Great move getting Paterson. We gave them a 3rd and 4th rounder to switch our 2nd for their 1st rounder and gave them the throw-away 7th rounder.

Now go get Dansby!

[LMITOUT]

Patterson averaged 16.9yds per reception in his ONE year in D1 football. Expect that average to drop considerably with Ponder throwing (and I use that term loosely) to him.

[ted4887]

Agreed.

I'm not real happy about selling the farm to get Patterson, but this guy is a baller. Plus, getting Floyd and Rhodes is amazing. Overall, this has been a great 1st round. Not much left to do for the Vikings though.

I'm going to hold out hope that the Honey Badger is still around in the 4th. Whoever gets him is going to get a hell of a deal.

Anyone else shocked that Teo didn't go in the 1st?

[Snag]

3 of our 4 big needs done. I think it's been great, but we will have to wait and see. Do we have any picks left

[thatoneguy]

Gave up a lot to get Patterson, but that was their position of greatest need. On paper, they couldn't have done any better tonight...filled three big holes and didn't draft Catfish Teo.

Now we wait to see if any or all are actually impact players.

[PurpleFloyd]

Awesome draft. We got 3 picks in the top 30 and got 2 defensive starters on day 1 and a WR to develop. Patterson will not be a day one impact but will contribute at a position we need to improve.

[ted4887]

3 of our 4 big needs done. I think it's been great, but we will have to wait and see. Do we have any picks left

4th, 5th, 6th, and two 7ths

[PurpleFloyd]

Just having a Purple Floyd on the team is a win win right there
