Hate to be critical, but Austin Jackson worries me. He worries me mostly because he has a lot of the things that the Vikings like. Namely, athleticism, upside and youth. Personally, I think he gets beat too much and he plays soft. Ezra Cleveland will be a better pro. But you won't get him in the 3rd. Might even go 1st. I want no part of Jacob Eason. Rest of your draft is golden.

I noticed the first-pick game has a lot not in tune with what a lot of the pro analysts say.  When I used to come in here, I liked hearing what a lot of you guys in the know would say about the college prospects.  I mostly just like playing because I hate this month between FA and Draft so it keeps my excitement going.

Some of the trades the game offers are unrealistic as well, as you can see by my haul just from trading down twice.  I figured Eason could be shelved until Cousins leaves and in three years maybe some buzz is created where we could trade him for equal or better, ala SFs QB via the Pats whom I can't recall his name right now.  All hypothetical, of course.

I'm really hoping somehow we can get Kinlaw.

No OT but think this would fill alot of holes and depth and would fall in nicely if we traded our FS for trent Williams, sliding Reiff inside.  Ruiz is LGOTF. WR still thin and I as many others love Hurts with our 3rd round comp pick

I keep finding myself trading down because of the players available all seem to be valued less than the pick.  Need to try one straight up.  No tradesies...

Like.A.Boss. Hard to imagine Thomas falling but will all 4 Tackles really be gone by #22? On the one hand, with no ability to go to Pro Days and do in-person Interviews (overrated, ask the right questions on a video interview and you don't need to have them right in front of you) Teams might naturally skew towards safer picks. And the Tackles certainly are.

But there's still 4 QBs that will go before #22. 3-4 stud Receivers.  The Blue Chippers like Okuda, Henderson,  Simmons, Brown, Kinlaw, et al. A couple of DEs (that I'm not as high on).  There will be a few reaches. So it could happen.

Jefferson, Hodgins, and Runyan are my favorite picks...the simulator is routinely throwing out a top OT or Kinlaw at #22 just to set me up for disappointment.

I don't know what ranking you're using, but Andrew Thomas is the best tackle in this class and if he falls to 22 about 12 GMs are going to regret it. But I'll take it!! I think Damon Arnette will fall to day three. Just too slow. 

And for what it's worth I would take Kyle Dugger and Antoine Winfield over both Delpit and McKinney. Confused why those two keep getting mocked in the 1st round. Delpit might go late 1st round, but hopefully not to us. He can't tackle. McKinney's a 3rd round talent but will probably go 2nd. Again, hopefully not to us.

Good call on Mckinney, i looked at a few vids and i see the limitations, not a great cover guy.

I'm with you on that one. I'll be screaming at the tv if Jeudy or Lamb is there at 22. This would be similar to a few years ago when Desmond King was available for what felt like 3-4 Vikings selections. Still bugs me that they didn't take him, but Des was my guy in college.
