Can you imagine how the board would go off if they trade down again lol. There are some good players left. It is such an unusual draft.

Take Booth and move on...A safety and corner and I can breathe normal again...

Yep.  The drop off at CB (a position of high need for us) is pretty steep after Booth.

KAM needs to pull a Costner and trade 34 back to Detroit for our 2nd back and a 2023 1st. Hey it works in the movies

Eh, I like McCreary. After those two I do think it drops, but Kyler Gordon is solid too.

A Booth pick would really fortify that secondary. Peterson, Dantzler, Booth, and Sullivan at corner. With Harry, Cine and Bynum at safety. Only real issue with Booth is injuries. He's got a long list, but if the Vikings clear him, he's right in that mix with McDuffie and Elam. But after Booth goes, there's a little drop off to McCreary and Gordon IMO. 

Also a lot of value at edge with Mafe, Ojabo and Ebiketie. Love LB Dean too. 

I have to imagine Booth/Gordon will be high on the list. Mafe was a top-30 visit. Ojabo is just so intriguing. He is a redshirt guy but he fits so much of what the Vikings look for; young, ascending player with all the physical traits. You also have Smith & Hunter set this year so you could conceivably wait...

I thought the same thing. There's a buzz that they might. Sounds like they got an intriguing offer at 32 but declined. Rumor is that it was the Packers trying to move up for Pickens.

I personally would stay since the talent it too good, unless a team hoping for a QB is ready to grossly overpay.

Willis has some intriguing value here. Sure, he needs to learn how to play NFL QB, and he's a long ways from being able to do that, so while a 1st rounder is a big gamble, his upside in the 2nd round is going to be very tempting for teams. If a team doesn't trade up to 33, the Vikings are going to get some offers.

Especially if the teams that need a QB don't want Baker. Carolina doesn't really have much to offer this year, but the Seahawks do. I hope Kwesi is spending a lot of time chatting with the Seahawks today to see what he can negotiate, especially with them having 40 & 41 (Not saying we would get both, just saying they have two early 2nd round picks).
