I wouldnt mind Donald or Hagemann, but not at #8. I gotta think the Bears will be looking for DT too. Donald was a early second round pick a couple weeks ago, but now I think he lands between 10-20. Cowboys should be looking for DL too.

Check out around 7:25.

Good video! I like how he gets off the line so quickly, splits the blockers before they get their hands on him, and is in the backfield so quickly.

If they can't find someone foolish enough to trade up for Watkins, I'm fine with Donald at #8. Forget the mock drafts, his production is good enough to support he's a top 10 talent. I say forget the mock drafts because he wasn't getting noticed during the college season like he should have been. If you trade down too far, you run the risk of a team that wants him to move ahead of you. Trading down to the right spot is tricky and difficult; teams have to be willing to move up. Everyone talks like it's so easy to do.

Hagemann is a good player but I think his best fit in the NFL will be a 3-4 DE; that's not with us.

Look as if the Vikings are clearing the decks now so they can be in a position to take Johnny FB at #8!!!

With what they have done in FA I would say there is a 90% chance our first pick is going to be QB or LB. I get the feeling that Speilman wants to move up. I sure hope he doesnt. I think Kalil Mack would be the steal of the draft at 8.

Another defensive move by the Vikings in the past few hours. As a former QB famously once said: "The pieces are in place"...for Johnny to come riding in on that white horse at #8.

With the second selection in the 2014, NFL Draft, the MN Vikings select... Tajh Boyd, (QB) Clemson University.

Hilarity ensues. crazy

I mean after all that is what our QB history looks like.

Spielman WILL NOT draft a QB at 8. He's too scared to blow another high pick on a QB. He's going defense and will take a player who's more of a sure thing. Then, a QB in the 2nd or 3rd rd imo...

If Manziel is there at 8 (which he won't be) I wouldn't be surprised if Spielman passes on him

I would love Mack at 8 buck, for once we agree on something. I know WR is not a huge need anymore but if Sammy Watkins is there i would have to think about it for a min... the smart move is defense though. The two best teams in the NFC (seattle and san fran) have the two best defenses. Enough said.

I think Turner will find a way to get Peterson the ball through the air a little more. I also think our RBI will be the kid we had last yeR that was tearing it up at the end of the season. I don't think we need to use a draft pick on a back up , 3rd down RB.

Manziel, Mack, Watkins, bring it! I just want to add a big play maker with our first pick. The rest of the draft can be for the depth, I just want one more big play maker.

Fixed it for ya. You can get tremendous play makers beyond the top 10. Randy, Percy, Cordarrelle.

Totally against Watkins. I dont want to be the next Detroilet Lions. Why not trade for some value if our lock pick is not there and we can find a willing sucker??

I see in a few of the Mocks that Johnny has slipped into round 2. I doubt it, but ya never know.

Johny is more valuable then the potential wins he will bring. The media, the jerseys , butts in the seats. To us, that means little, but to the Wilfs , it is a huge bonus. I think Manziel will be boom or bust. Either he will succeed , and live up to the hype, or he will flop. I think with a good coach , that can make plays to fit the players strengths , and one who has had success bringing up other QB's , he has a good chance at being a boom. Let him ride the bench behind Cassel next year , or until Cassel flops. He could be the savior the team needs.

That is exactly what it comes down to. He is a brand, an image, someone that will get people talking and bring attention to the team. That is exactly what I dont want when you are trying to play a TEAM sport. Suddenly the individual is bigger than the team. I gotta think he will have a media circus follow him around the same way they followed TEBOW. Sadly I think his career will last about that long.

Favre came with a circus, and he didn't let it effect how the team played. Johnny can ball , better then anyone we have had on our roster in many years, except #4. With a good cast around him, a good coach , he will succeed.

We also need to replace an edge rusher...remember, we just lost one. They will either fill it via FA or certainly draft one early.

QB

LB

DE

OG

RB

It's unsure what we really have at the LB position...Frazier refused to play any of our younger guys. Cole, given the opportunity, played pretty well. Hodges and Mauti...never sniffed the field other than special teams.

I wouldn't be suprised at all to see us trade back and take someone like Ford in the 1st...a pass rusher that fits the mold of the two currently on the roster. Maybe someone like Murphy in the 2nd? Either way, a DE will be picked pretty high. Right now, there's nobody on the roster to fill this spot.

QB is the wildcard right now...do we take one in the 1st?? 2nd?? 3rd?? Our 1st pick will dictate how the rest of the draft goes. I still think 2 of the top 3 QB's will be there at #8...and we might pass on both of them.
