If The Draft Was Held Today

[JustinTime18™]

We would be picking (for the first 4 rounds)

13
77
81
114
117
129
139

That's without a likely third round comp pick. Every time the Ravens and Bear lose, we get better picks in the third and fourth round.

Yep, add one more comp around 100 for Waynes. I don't have a sense yet for where the value is in this draft, but assuming it's not in the 100s, Vikings will likely take a few of those middle rounders and try to recoup that 2nd.

If the TDN sims mean anything, which is dubious, I'm seeing guys like Snowden, Moore, Shi Smith, Gaye, and McNeil in the 100s.

This will put some names near slots.

If we picked were these prospects are ranked, I wouldn't complain too much.

And, not that Jefferson wasn't enough compensation for Diggs, we have a 4th coming from Buffalo, plus we turned the 5th we got from them into another 4th this year when we traded with the Bears.

Yep, we had so many late round picks this past year that we really don't need to be doing the same thing again this year. I say use them to move up into the 2nd and then do what you have to do to have multiple 3rd round picks. I really dont see a need for a single 6th or 7th round pick this year. Be aggressive and go get better talent

Just listened to Andy Carlson's podcast at lunch. He did a mock with the Vikings at 13, with the Vikings taking either Wyatt Davis, the OSU guard or Kwity Paye, the edge rusher from Michigan. The interesting part is that he thinks Paye could move inside in the NFL and that 3T might be his best fit. Don't quote me on that; quote him. But it's something to think about....especially considering that we could also use an edge.

Been reading that Paye could be this year's combine freak.

Interesting. Paye has good power but T-Rex arms. He'd immediately be the #1 3T. I like Hutchinson too as he has lined up all over the line.

Davis I'd happily grab at #13. Scheme diverse and probably one of the safest picks out there too.

I hope not, if we take a guard at #13 i may puke.  I am not against Davis, but not at #13.  we should be able to move down and get him in the 20s.  I would also be doing my best to move up to 6 or 7 and get either Lance or Wilson if they are still available.
