Anything's possible, but I think you'll be embarrassed by this post in 6 months. OLs? DLs? DBs? WRs? Yep. But level of comp is almost a non factor for RBs. Dude, watch him run.

Jeanty did not look great vs Nittany Lions...But I also think his OL was completely over-matched

This roster doesn't have obvious vacancies.

They will, however, trade down from 97 into the 4th round, drawing a 4th rounder in return, and with multiple comp picks next year will trade a ’26 3rd rounder for a ’25 4th rounder, giving them three 4ths, hitting Kwesi’s target of 6 total picks.
I feel (supremely...modestly...not at all) confident that our 1st pick will be either Donovan Jackson, Tre Henderson or Derrick Harmon. I’ll go with Jackson. I think the compulsion to draft a player who can stand in for Darrisaw until he’s ready is real. I think Booker is a great intangible fit, but questionable scheme fit, that safety and running back can wait, and the Vikings intend to shore up CB with a veteran.
1.24 - Donovan Jackson, G/T (Alt: Derrick Harmon, DT or Tre Henderson, RB)
4a - Sai’vion Jones, DL (Alt: Demetrius Knight, LB)
4b - Jonas Sanker, S (Alt: Yahya Black, DL)
4c - Jeffrey Bassa, LB (Alt: Jacory Croskey-Merritt, RB)
5.139 - Brashard Smith, RB (Alt: Zah Frazier, CB, Bilhal Kone, CB)
6.187- Ben Yurosek, TE (Alt: Thomas Fidone II, TE )
Players the Vikings might pick early that will raise some eyebrows: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Carson Schwesinger, LB
Vikings post draft players: Willie Lampkin, Kalel Mullings, RB, Zion Childress, S, Bilhal Kone, CB, Nazir Stackhouse, NT, Max Brosmer, QB, Warren Brinson, DT, Jacob Bayer, IOL, Cody Lindenberg, LB, Chandler Brayboy, WR
Well done my astute friend.

He had zero around him at bsu. Nothing.Nada. Zilch.
... And they made the BCS?
Jenty is a complete bad ass.

Maroon got me on Jackson a couple month ago. I ended with saying I want him. He just has it. Great pick for us

That was a helluva call. In MB We Trust.
Any interest in giving me the six numbers for tomorrow's NC Powerball? I'll split the $168M with you.

I understand golf about as much as I understand Chinese algebra, so I'm clueless what the hell he's talking about here. I guess maybe 4 hits out of 4 is just as good as 4 hits out of 7? I don't think the law of averages works quite like this.
