Differences of opinion on specific players and situations furthered an early disconnect.
If we draft a big fatty, this gets confirmed. The Big Citrus, the Godfather, find one and pair him with Woods perhaps or a vet. Definitely needs to be addressed.
I've always said Kwesi's ouster wasn't about his drafts. But this seems really hard to believe. You're an econ guy. OK, fine, that can work, but ONLY if you're listening to your coaches and scouting staff. What the HELL was he doing? Kwesi never seemed like the rogue GM type, but it's sounding like he had a bit of that in him. If so, it's best he's gone.
Very curious to see how this draft shakes out in that regard. Hell, who knows, maybe BFlo's been screaming for a fatty for years. lol

My later round value pick is: DE/OLB Mason Reiger out of Wisconsin. His game and path is very similar to AVG and he could be the future after AVG. He's a top 30 visit and looks like he's on the Vikings Big Board in the 5th round.

Another 5T type the Vikings could like later on in the draft is LT Overton. He measured 6-3, 287 at his Pro Day

McDonald is my guy:

Jeremiah on Move the Sticks Pod: “I think DT Kayden McDonald has a chance. But he’s the only DT I think has a chance to go in the first round.”
Bucky Brooks argues all the DTs are mainly run stoppers, and that’s why we’re seeing reports on teams viewing Mesidor and Bain as 3-techs on pass downs.

McDonald isn't going to offer much as a pass rusher, but he can definitely stop the run. Interesting that DJ doesn't think Woods or Banks will go in the 1st round. I think Keldric Faulk, given his versatility, could be someone who appeals to Flores. People aren't often connecting him to the Vikings because he's most often listed as an edge, but he's big enough to line up at 3T and 5T too. At 6-6, 280, with 34+ arm length, he has the frame to easily add another 5 or 10 lbs if they want him to.
