DL & TE's have evolved in athletic supermen...

Seems like lots of mid round talent for Edge this year. Little gun-shy to take one over an OL in rd1

Payton Turner making some noise as a middle-round edge target if we go OL early. 6-5, 270, 35 inch arms, 84 inch wingspan.

If TDN is to be believed, we can have Stevie Wonder pick and land the next Dre Special on Day 3 or early Day 4.

Would not be disappointed to see Ojulari in purple next year. Could definitely see him in the mix if trading back in the 1st. Along with Jordan Davis, headed a pretty stout UGA defense. Keep an eye on LeCounte as well.

I think Ojulari looks like a freak rushing LB.
I think he'd be totally wasted in MN.

If Vikes take an EDGE early... Paye or Phillips I would see as impact players for them.

Since Rick Spielman has been the general manager, the Vikings have never drafted a defensive end before the third round, and the last first-round defensive lineman they selected was Sharrif Floyd in 2013. The last time Minnesota invested a Day 2 pick in a defensive end was in 2015 and Danielle Hunter turned out pretty great. But the Vikings need more exterior pass rushers beyond Hunter. They brought in Yannick Ngakoue last year, but that didn’t really pan out. This allows us to look at the draft.
Phillips is once again going to be the top target if he’s not off the board already. Perhaps the Vikings will also like a player like Kwity Paye, a 6-foot-2, 260-pound defensive end out of Michigan who hits like a brick house. He’s dense when anchoring to defend the run and has some very unique athleticism for a player of his strength profile. As a true 4-3 defensive end, Paye could see his name off the board first here at No. 14 overall.

It would not shock me to see Phillips or Paye a Viking. Would love to see how they stack OL vs DL.

I sense Kwity Paye is a little underrated on this board. Why is it that his arm length is such a secret? Anyone have it?

EDIT: Found it. 33-inches, so not as bad as most thought.
