At the combine,James Lynch addressed being Baylor's all-time sack leader: "It's not even the sacks. I feel like the pressures I've had, affecting plays, I've told them I feel I'm one of the disruptive guys that are here, and I feel like as a D-lineman that's kind of your goal."

Lynch continued: "Obviously, they like that, and they like that I've played around at different positions, so they know that I'm comfortable with doing whatever, and hopefully it pays off for me."

Wonnum is the athlete

Lynch is the motor guy.. Never left the field and his engine didn't quit. Never lacks the effort. BIG12 DPOY

We talked to Mike Zimmer at the combine about the need for generating a better interior pass rush. The Vikings are beginning to address that with Lynch, a three-technique who finished his career at Baylor with 22 sacks.

  • Vikings selected Temple CB Harrison Hand with the No. 169 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.Via The Athletic's draft guru, Dane Brugler, "A one-year starter at Temple, Hand was the boundary cornerback in defensive coordinator Jeff Knowles scheme, playing both man and zone coverages. He was part of ex-coach Matt Rhule’s first recruiting class at Baylor, but called Waco a 'big culture shock' and made a smooth transition to Temple in 2019, leading the team in interceptions. Hand is a competitive player with the eyes and toughness required to read and react, trusting his vision and not allowing himself to overthink things. While he isn’t a poor athlete, he doesn’t play with sudden qualities and lacks the textbook technique to help compensate. Overall, Hand is quick to sort from off coverage, but lacks the necessary twitch in his hips and feet to be a consistent playmaker at the position, projecting as a possible backup zone corner."

Nugget of the day:

The selection of

@KJ_Osborn marks the second time in Vikings history that Minnesota has drafted an Osborn with the 176th pick.

With the 176th spot in the 1965 NFL Draft, the Vikings snagged RB Dave Osborn, who went on to spend 11 seasons in Purple.

Man the Vikings just put soooo much value into the mental makeup and character of their players maybe more than anyone else

KJ Osborne was a transfer from Buffalo to Miami where he quickly earned team captain honors
