NFL Draft Talk

[Guest]

Was listening to Greg Cossell on NFL Radio this morning. They asked him to name a couple prospects he thinks are being criminally underrated in this draft and the first name out of his mouth... Johnathan Mingo. Stated he loved him and the more tape he watched led him to believe he could be a very good player at the next level. 

If we could trade down into the second round and land Mingo and one of the LB's, I'd be pretty happy with that draft

Agree that Mingo is underrated. But it depends on who you're reading. I don't think there are more disparate opinions on anyone in the draft. I've seen him in the 25 to 40 range and I've seem him in the 5th round. I tend to think the lower rankings are just outdated and don't factor in his ridiculous numbers from the combine.  

Like I said before, if Treadwell had an ounce more athleticism than a tree stump, this is what he might have looked like.

Lot of smoke going on right now. Latest is if Bryce Young goes first overall to Carolina, the Texans are reportedly favoring Will Anderson over one of the quarterbacks with the second pick. If that happens this quarterback merry go round is going to go off the rails. Will Anderson is one of the best college players I've ever seen, but it would be a huge upset for the Texans to not take a quarterback

Weren't the Texans in this position b4? And took Clowney..

2023 Big Board - Great Blue North Draft Report (gbnreport.com)

GBN just updated their Big Board 

I think Joey Porter is going to be there when Minnesota selects (if they don't trade up or down) and he's going to be a tough dude to bypass.

If Joey Porter is there at 23 that would be great. News I read that we may take Hooker at 23 but I hope not because he would probably still be on the board in round 3.

I would try and trade down and then maybe take Hooker.  I think 23 is too high and if we could maybe pick up another pick and get him in the second round that would be worth it.  But if Levis starts falling "If" I would seriously look to get up into the low teens.

I think we might be a little foolish if we start to believe the Hooker in the 1st stuff. It's hard to see.

I would trade down several times, end up around 40 with 4 day-two picks. Get the DL, WR, CB and QB there. If Hooker's gone, so be it. Target Hall or DTR later. If they're gone, send a couple of '24 picks for Lance. Bottom line is there are options...and the Vikings can't panic draft.

True, believing in the Hooker always ends up bad.

Heard of KFan this morning that Levis has been removed from the Vikings draft board.  Maybe BS,  or maybe legit.

That's an eyebrow raiser for sure...
