Official Vike Fans Day Three Draft Thread, Sponsored By Hormel

Bills get a QB to replace the RB playing QB

Josh Allen and Jake Fromm are standing on a beach. Josh tries to throw the ball in the ocean and misses. Jake tries to throw the ball in the ocean and it lands 15 yards short.

@"Ralphie" said: One of the CBS taking heads said the new LB role is, paraphrased, a hybrid LB/S.  More emphasis on pass coverage than run stopper.  Dye should fill that role.

Big nickle LB

@"SFVikeFan" said: Dye is a totally different animal than Brothers.  He's a MLB but not a fit for nickle CB or S.  

Brothers is more like EJ Henderson, a 2-down downhill thumper.  Dye is more of a 3-down ILB like Kendricks who is better in coverage but going to need to add strength. 

Watched every game of his career at Oregon, he's a great kid with great instincts.  Also, he could easily play ILB next to Kendricks in a 3-4 ... don't forget we have Dom Capers, and all 3 of these picks in Round 4 would be scheme fits for a 3-4.

Good insight, was wondering on that as the DL guy was a 3-4 type as well

Typical Day 3 WTF is Rick thinking, IMO. Spends a 4th on a kid who likely replaces the Big Nickel he got in the 7th. Trades out of a spot with plenty of talent on the Board. Picks a kid who better become a backup Safety. Which could have been found later. Let's legit O-Line competition pass him by. Missing a run on what was left at WR.

He's like a Mad Scientist on Day 1 and Day 2 and just Mad on Day 3. I like the D-Line picks. The rest suck for me considering what was on the Board. And so much for using those 13 Day 3 picks to move up for players he targeted. Teams trading up left and right, so it's not like the 1st Round when everyone was playing it safe.

He does this bullshit every year so we should be used to it. His refusal to add interior OLine talent is baffling. I guess the fact that Elf is not on the shelf and will probably be a starter at Guard is really all you need to know about their ability to evaluate talent. 

Revenge for Vendvik

Damn it, Hodgins to the Bills...

Packers just drafted a center and OT... still no WR after 210 picks BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Vikings get an OT from Oregon State and Safety Josh Metellus from Michigan... still no guard.  

Which begs the question: who does Elflein have pornographic pictures of, Zimmer or Spielman?

So can someone update me on the 2021 picks we have picked up?

Chicago's 2021 4th
Buffalo's 2021 4th (Diggs)
Baltimore's 2021 5th

Plus comp picks from Waynes (3rd) and Mac Alexander (6th)

Rick already rolling into 2021 with his 10+ picks

I've never seen a GM do less with more picks than Spielman. What could have been an awesome day for us turned into an absolute wasted opportunity to add quality players at positions of need. 

Wow 15 picks later, I’m virtually wiped out...  ;) B)  

@"Kentis" said: Wow 15 picks later, I’m virtually wiped out...  ;) B)  

Virtually the keyword. 

I'm a draft nut but even too much for me to even keep track. I think of it this way....

If I'm another NFL team with 7 picks in my draft and you told me I brought home Justin Jefferson, Jeff Gladney, Ezra Cleveland, Cam Danztler, Harrison Hand, Kenny Willekes and Kyle Hinton I would've asked you to pee in a cup.

New #Vikings safety Brian Cole becomes the second player today to call him "Coach Zimmerman.'' The first was Harrison Hand.

Well, he is the man to them
