If we don't take a DT early, Robinson and Riley Mills are two later round prospects that would interest me

Agree, but I think Robinson is going to go way WAY before the 6th round. He's one of those guys whose combine numbers are not yet reflected in his ranking. Every year there's a handful of guys who go about three rounds ahead of consensus and it's almost always because sites like PFF and others don't move guys up when top athletic numbers come in and combine with prototypical size, motor and production.

I tend to agree, why I said not sure where he is going to be drafted. I am guessing around 4 or so.

   

More probable outcome with Robinson going about where I think he will. Hampton would be a steal at 28, however.

Dunno who Joe Deleone is but I agree with him. Will Johnson would be a stick and pick for me. And the two others I would find tempting are those two safeties. Every other option has a near fraternal twin 10 or 15 picks later. Might add Shemar Stewart to that list

I went a different direction to see how it would play out. I would be very happy with this outcome. I've been on record for some time about Judkins lol. Jones at edge intrigues me. Do we need one? No, but Gink is in a contract year, we won't resign him. Jones has a good motor. He needs to refine his game with the pass rush. Good player to learn with the core the Vikings have. Have the luxury to draft him and get him acclimated to the NFL level. Believe he is a player that wants it and will work for it.

   

Stay put to grab Nolen. Outside the box thinking and trade a future pick for a falling DB at the top of round 3, this case Morrison, thought about Winston but went with corner. Grab your RB of the future in Martinez, he is going to be a good NFL player. Nice spread out draft that covers a ton for the Vikings.

Thanos strikes again lol. Seriously, quickest way for Kwesi to get fired is to blow another high draft pick on a safety that plays sparingly or not at all. Games are won in the trenches and to bypass upgrading/fortifying either line or giving our young quarterback another weapon and the best chance at success in favor of drafting another safety is pure roster negligence. The Eagles just won the Super Bowl trotting out journeyman CJ Gardner Johnson (4th round pick on his 5th team in seven seasons) and some dude named Reed Blankenship (undrafted). You can pick up highly drafted free agent safeties any and every offseason because teams dont retain them. If the Kwesi/Grigson braintrust is stupid enough to draft another first round safety than they get what they deserve as they watch that pick sit on the bench for this upcoming season behind four established players with experience already in the system.

I'm having a hard time sorting through what it is you're trying to say. Would it be fair to say you're against taking a safety with our first pick?
