Are we having a draft night thread?
Maybe a draft night thread pasted to the top??

We got an extra 4th and 5th. The trade back was smart. Now we have extra ammo to facilitate a trade for Trent Williams without gutting the middle of our draft... and we have plenty of ammo to move up on Day 2 to grab good players in the 2nd and 3rd round.The Vikings knocked it out of the park tonight IMO.
The ammo was never the issue, its cap. We dont have the pesos to pay William's without moving Harris IMO.

@"supafreak84" said: So we have our second and then two picks in every round but the seventh...where we have 3! Time to move around and get this team some help tomorrow.I dont think we have any in the 5th, we gave our 5th to the ravens for a kicker they had never seen apparently.

Pretty stoked about the draft so far. My top ranked receiver and the corner I had above even CJ Henderson and we still have 12 picks. Loved that we were able to trade down and pick up extra ammo perhaps for a Trent Williams trade? Interesting that our competition for that, the Browns, got their tackle at 10. So they're probably out on that.
Tonight, I wouldn't move up in the 2nd round, but I'd try to turn as many of those day 3 picks into 3rd rounders as possible.
Sounds like the Vikes had a solid day 1. Did they get better with these picks? Hope so. The glaring need for OL and DL is still there. Too bad one of those elite LTs didn't fall. Hopefully they find some gems with the remaining draft. With so many holes to fill, going BPA is a good strategy, and RS seems to be doing just that so far.

I forgot about the fifth from buffalo because I was thinking that was next years 5th and for 176....well pro football reference really dropped the ball on that one. they show the 6th round starting at pick 161. i am guessing they arent showing compensatory picks.
I'm a little disappointed that we aren't talking about CeeDee Lamb's girlfriend more.

Lamb is a rookie, but already a vet in not letting the girlfriend take his phone lol

I think we all agree that the heart of this Draft is 20-60. Curious why you want to load up on 3rds unless you're already counting on the Williams trade happening.
Personally, I'm moving up to get my highest rated kid at DE/3T/O-Line. YGM or Epenesa allows Odenigbo to rotate to keep himself and Hunter fresh and the Rookie and Ifeadi can also take turns at 3T on obvious passing downs. Or Gallimore, Blacklock or Madubuike to shore up that nagging 3T issue. Or Jones or Cleveland to play LT or even kick inside to LG.
I gotta get me one of those guys and I don't think whichever one they're the highest on lasts to 58.

I love it! They were just discussing the phone incident on ESPN and the female host goes, "sorry, but if we aren't married...you don't get my phone or password." I completely concur....

I agree, I think landing a 3rd pass rusher is a priority today. The Vikings love to rotate defensive lineman and what they were able to do kicking Griffen inside on pass rush downs won us the playoff game against the Saints with the pressure we were able to generate up the middle. Its why the Saints took Ruiz. It gives our defense options in pass rush packages and thats something we need against the better teams in our conference.
I'm going to start a Day 2 Draft thread that maybe we can start discussing on?

I couldn't agree with you more that New Orleans picking Ruiz was a reactionary move. Which makes it a stupid one. I'm very high on Cesar but WR2 and LB were much bigger needs.

Yeah but it's hugely expensive to move up in the 2nd round. And I'd put the heart of the value lower than that, especially for our positions of need. DBs like Robertson, Holmes, Pride, Burgess. OLs like Bartch, Hunt, Peart. Edges like Taylor, Zuniga...are all 3rd round types. Plus, there will be an enormous amount of WRs who drop into the 3rd and 4th rounds. I don't like the DTs in the 3rd round, though, so maybe that's the pick in the 2nd round if we trade for TW.
Jordan Elliot is my other fav 2nd behind Gallimore
