Two guys I was way too low on...

Notre Dame OG Aaron Banks
Florida OT Stone Forsythe

Think both are Round 2 players.

Was watching this interview when my daughter asked who that was on the screen. Remembering back to when she was about a year old, i asked her what kicker I should pick up in my fantasy league that week and she said something that sounded an awful lot like Sean Suisham. I won because of that. So I learned to listen to her advice. 

"It's Dillon Radunz. Do you have any insight?" 
"He's cute."
"Are you and Timothee Chalamet over?" 
"No!"

So there's your scouting report. Not as cute as Timothee Chalamet, but probably too pretty for the NFL.

KION SMITH, OT, FAYETTEVILLE STATE, (6-FOOT-5, 315 POUNDS)Playing on one of the better teams in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), Smith was a cornerstone piece of the offensive front. Playing left tackle only during his career, he was involved in an offense that incorporated lots of zone principles. Another prospect that was listed as a Tropical Bowl standout, one of his best attributes is his finishing ability. Playing through the whistle is an element of his game that he prides himself on. Smith is far from a finished product and is likely years away from reaching his final state. He could be a stash-and-develop candidate on a team's practice squad or even a player that could get ample opportunities in an outside league.

Interested to see what the Vikings think of Radunz since he doesn't meet their historical testing thresholds. Good mid-round option but wonder if they would go so far as to pass because of testing.

Testing threshold for tackle or guard? Because I think he's definitely a guard.

Theoretically, both. You could make a case he's right on the line for them as a guard. Personally I agree with you on that take that he likely slides inside in the NFL.

Sewell is not sliding to 14. Slater might but even that is doubtful. The real question is how the Vikings view AVT if they don't trade down. If they value him higher than the DE's on the board, you take him and figure out where to play everybody during camp. I'm not opposed to the OT's like Darrisaw, Jenkins, Cosmi, etc. if we get a good trade down offer but you better be sure they can start from day 1 vs. taking a pass on AVT just because Spielman has some sort of strange phobia of taking a highly rated Olineman who is projected at Guard in Round 1 who also has proven experience as a LT in College. Those 3 are widely considered can't miss Olineman in the 1st Round and are great scheme fits. I don't think we can afford to not draft a day 1 starter at Guard or Tackle so if you pass on an Olineman in Round 1, you better figure out a way to trade pretty high up in Round 2 to fill that hole.
