if you could build the offensive line using past and present Viking OL who would you pick for each poation?

What would Cook look like running behind a premier line?

This is a great list:

LT - Gary Zimmerman
LG - Randall McDaniel
C - Matt Birk
RG- Steve Hutchinson
RT - Ron Yary

The only position worthy of debate, IMO, is Birk vs. Tinglehoff at Center.  You have to view each player in relation to the era in which he played.  I'd give the nod to Tinglehoff, who is a Hall of Famer and was a 5 time first team All-Pro.  Birk was a two-time All-Pro.
