I'd take that in a heartbeat. The trade down really only worked optimally if they got this kid.....and it did. Starter from Day 1:

The strong Hokie makes playing left tackle look much easier than it is. Darrisaw possesses plenty of power to prevent rushers from going through him. In the run game, he creates movement on a consistent basis, opening up running lanes. His foot speed is just average, which could be a concern if he's unable to continue improving technically. This is a great pick for the Vikings, who upgrade their left tackle spot with a player who should be long gone at 23. Darrisaw has the makings of a quality starting tackle in a league that's starving for talent at the position. -- LL

Agreed Sticky, biting nails last night hoping this didn't backfire on them.

Tonight is going to be VERY fun for Viking's fans methinks with 4 picks in round 3. They'll be able to move up at any time into round 2, maybe for OG Wyatt Davis? I think having a battle beast next to him like Davis will help Bradbury immensely.

DE, CB, OG, QB

I could see all of these being a pick. I'd priority a good edge rusher myself.
