I'd have to say Gladney at this point, with Cleveland next. 

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

The first five picks have all been impressive. But I'll say Wonnum, only because he may have been the one I was expecting the least from.

Dantzler's head is swimming. Teams know they can route crossing routes and the rookies will not pick up who they are supposed to.

This is actually pretty tough.  Gladney looks really good, Cleveland has been very solid, I think I come back and pick Wonnum.  At this point, and likely acceleration, will likely be a pro bowler in 2 years with Patterson coaching him.  That impresses and surprises me the most.  Cleveland and Gladney being 1st and second round picks, the performance should be more expected.

Gladney  due to degree of difficulty of the position

Looks to be another very good draft by Spelly.  

I think Spelly is a keeper after this year but I am ready to move on from Zimmer.

Draft a QB in the first round their are probably 5 or 6 potential 1st rounders and we need to scout and move up if need be.  Obviously no shot at Lawrence/Fields.

Would like Kubiak to help with the scouting/decision etc but I am not sure he will stay if we ditch Zimmer?  He also does not want to be HC again, right?

Oh, back to OP.  I agree with Wonnum.  I had never heard of him (but not a draft guru) and I really wanted a OG at that time.
