Day 2

Without trades, Dane has the Vikings taking:

 66-EDGE Joseph Ossai, Texas

78-WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, USC

86-S Divine Deablo, Virginia Tech

90-CB Robert Rochell, Central Arkansas

 This would be a solid haul that fits the needs for this teams perfectly

You can just hear PA on a couple of these names.

I prefer the bigger sized DE of Basham or Weaver - 270+  over the 2 lighter guys you guys mention in Ojulari and Ossai.  They are both sub 250 and look more like 3-4 edge LB'ers.

Both Basham and Weaver have the strength to pass rush but also great leverage to string out a OL and run contain.  I prefer that skill-set on the opposite of Hunter.  In addition, these two have the size to play some along the DL in a BRob way.  

@"BarrNone55" said: 47. Joseph Ossai, edge, Texas (6-foot-4, 256 pounds) An impressive pursuit player, Ossai is consistently around the football and makes plays that he has no business making due to his play speed and hustle. While he plays quick, he wins more with effort and his body stiffness hinders his ability to win at the top of his rush. Overall, Ossai is a linear athlete who lacks fluidity in his rush or redirect, but his foot is always on the gas with the compete skills and locked-in effort that helps mask some of his issues. He projects as a physical 3-4 edge defender. 48. Terrace Marshall Jr., WR, LSU (6-foot-3, 205 pounds) Marshall has the build-up acceleration to eat cushion without breaking stride, and he looks like a basketball big man at the catch point, using body position and catch radius to reel in off-target throws. Similar in ways to Courtland Sutton as a prospect, he tends to rely on his size/speed and needs to hone his urgency and route mechanics for the next level. Overall, Marshall faces an adjustment period as he develops his separation skills vs. NFL coverage, but he is a field-stretcher who can climb the ladder and give his quarterback a large strike zone. He projects as an inside/outside NFL starter if the medicals check out.

Anyone interested in Landon Dickerson at OG with a move up in mid-round 2?

He's awesome but literally always hurt.

Will the Vikings trade a '21 pick for a '22 pick? The buzz is that the '22 picks will be very valuable. Don't think we have a 3rd or a 4th next year. And the comp pick picture doesn't look great either. I can see Rick exchanging one of the 4ths for a 3rd and maybe one of the 5ths for a 4th.

If they can find interest, considering....

One storyline to watch over the next three days: The value of 2022 Draft picks is sky high. “Like gold,” as one executive described. There should be more talent, cleaner evaluations, more tape. We could see an all-time low of future picks dealt.

Why do you hate Eric Sugarman?

From memory the only '22 pick that we moved was the 5th in the Ngakoue trade which we recovered in the Ngakoue trade (part deux).
