Vikings are unable to trade down and the following players are on the board. Who do you take?
Grant, DT
Harmon, DT
Nolen, DT
Hairston, CB
Revel, CB
Emmanwori, S
Starks, S
Booker, G
Jackson, G/T
Zabel, C/G/T
Henderson, RB
Hampton, RB
Interesting. I may go Grant, Zabel, Nolen...in that order. I think Harmon might be available if we were to trade down a bit.
Phew, man that is tough. What a candidate pool potential. I'll give my #1 and #1A:
#1: OG Tyler Booker
#1A: DT Derrick Harmon
I professed my love for Kenneth Grant yesterday, but that was under the thought Harmon would be drafted by #24. Zabel would be 1B tied with Grant. 1st presser KOC had after the playoff loss, the very first thing he said is we'll be committed to making both lines of scrimmage better. Tougher. He looked disgusted. They've helped that tremendously in FA, why not go for elite with OG and DT?
Cant help but wonder who the 3-5 might really be there?
I think they're going to take Revel...
My fandom order would be:
Henderson
Grant
Emmanwori
As of today.
Revel
Jackson/Zabel
Harmon
If we sign Samuel
Jackson/Zabel
Harmon
Henderson
My favorite player on that list is Hampton, think he is a franchise RB, even with Mason and Jones it would be hard for me to pass him up.
I think we take the guy with the highest ceiling if all those dudes are there...
It's probably Emmanwori, followed by Nolan and Harmon on defense.
If we're looking to improve our offense around JJ, then Hampton would make sense or one of those OGs.
Maybe Kwesi takes one and then immediately trades our first next year for another 2nd round pick and we double up?

This is Sophie’s Choice difficult.
Harmon/Zabel/Henderson
I can get Harvey later or even Tuten and get a home run hitter.
Zabel is tough to pass on but there’s Gs later who could push Brandel if necessary.
Harmon infuses youth into the DL room plus talent. There’s no later pick that really can be substituted.
I’m out on Revel. Hurt in HS. Hurt in college. Same reasons I didn’t like Booth.
The 3 IDLs are the 3 most talented players on that list. Having said that my preference is given the extraordinary IDL depth in this draft, I would draft an IDL with a later pick.
The only player that I would draft over those 3 IDLs is Kelvin Banks the LT from Texas. I would play him at LG & you have an instant upgrade. It's unlikely that Banks drops to #24, so yeah, give me any of those 3 IDLs.
Great deodorant for the back 4.
