Love your draft, even though there are probably 3 or 4 receivers I'd take over DKM. Dillard, McCoy, Warring, Savage, Brown, BBK and Boykin are great picks if they fall where you have them. Jordan Brown and Darnell Savage are two of my favorite players in this draft. 

But your veteran transactions are just nuts. I think most of our savings is going to come from the trade Waynes and the trade or release of Griffen. And why in hell would you want Brock Osweiler?

I purposely went with veterans that were cut to protect the likely compensatory picks the Vikings should receive when Barr and Richardson sign huge deals elsewhere.
I love Davis as a runner and receiver.  He runs hard which is something I do not think Murray did enough.  The contract may be too high but he is solid.  The Vikings need a solid veteran to take over for Murray IMO.
Osweiler played decent last year in relief.  The Vikings need a veteran reliever while developing Sloter.  Heck, with this low a contract they may only give him 500K (or less) guaranteed.  They could release him if they wanted like they did with Rosenfels one year.
I like him because Kubiak liked him when he was consulting for the Broncos right after he retired.  He definitely had to have some say in their obtaining Brock.
