Who is your surprise pick in the first round for the Vikings?
Just to clarify what I'm asking, what player and position outside our obvious needs at CB, WR, Oline, and Dline could Rick surprise
us with tonight? Do your best to keep it realistic and don't say a Kicker.
If we stay with our picks, I think the top 5 OT's will be off the board, I think several corners will go earlier than we think, as well as some of the receivers we have been targeting. That's going to drop some quality players into our lap that may not be an immediate need.
For me, I think it would Linebacker, and my choice is Kenneth Murray. A highly disruptive player who provides an immediate impact on defense who could free up Barr to spend more time rushing the passer and also allow us to get rid of Gedeon.
Jordan Love-QB Utah, we need a QB of the future and I dont want to see this kid fall to the packers.
Grant Delpit should be the pick and it should not be a surprise

What would be really funny is if Rick traded all the way out of the 1st round.

This is my pick too.
If we can get a third+ for Harris, I would move him and grab Winfield Jr. Third Manning brother aside, sons of former players usually have a safe floor, at the very least.
@"Geoff Nichols" said:I see DE as a need. Maybe not as big as Oline and DB, but I would not be surprised if we take him at #22 if our other targets at OT, DB, and WR are gone. The best way to improve your pass defense is to rush the passer more effectively.@"MaroonBells" said: K'Lavon Chaisson Could throw Gross-Matos into the mix as well.
@"Geoff Nichols" said:Tons of mocks have the Vikings taking this guy. Wouldn't be a surprise.@"MaroonBells" said: K'Lavon Chaisson Could throw Gross-Matos into the mix as well.
@"StickyBun" said:again though, kind of a lazy assumption (just like WR) to say we need to go DE since Griff left.@"Geoff Nichols" said:Tons of mocks have the Vikings taking this guy. Wouldn't be a surprise.@"MaroonBells" said: K'Lavon Chaisson Could throw Gross-Matos into the mix as well.I am actually more surprised to see the losing 3 starting CBs not be more of a talking point when discussing Vikings needs.

@"MarkSP18" said: What would be really funny is if Rick traded all the way out of the 1st round......but this is the most likely scenario..
Patrick Queen - LB
Next Thomas Davis? Could be. Fit our defense? Absolutely.
He’s my surprise pick. May have to move into the teens to get him.
Edit: to clarify, this is something I would look at hard. It would put our 4 defenders in the middle as Barr, Kendricks, Queen and Harris. Hill and Hughes (so far) on the outside with Harry in center field.
Surprises and guys I don't want in the first - Shenault-WR and Chaisson-DE,
