Ed Ingram
Wouldve been there at 66. Not ideal but certainly addresses a need
Stood up well against the SEC monsters, i think many had him 3rd or 4th rd grade. I probably would have taken Drake Jackson but we shall see
Whether it's Ingram or Davis, one of these guys needs to start crosstraining at center in case Bradberry starts doing Bradberry things again and is gone after this season

Hate the pick. Have a better prospect drafted last year in the 3rd, and two more bodies that they signed in the offseason. Would have loved a better value in this spot. Luke Fortner would have been a way better pick.
Just read some extremely unsettling allegations against this guy from when he was 16… google his name and deadspin if you’re curious. Pretty graphic :/

Ingram took center snaps at the Senior Bowl, so maybe him too.Ezra is still very raw but he's been pretty good so far. 66 PFF score as a rookie, then 68 in his 2nd season. If you look at great NFL guards, these solid early grades bode well. He really started to settle in late in the year, grading 91 in week 12. The highest rated player in the NFL. Not highest rated guard, highest rated player.
Who knows what the new regime thinks, but I think it's far more likely that Ingram, one of the Davises and/or Reed is moving to center.

I know charges were dropped but still 2 girls "under 14" claim numerous sexual allegations over a period of 1 year.
I was surprised by the pick and thought rounds too early or a reach. (From all analyst).
Add these dropped "allegations" into the mix and the" "reach" becomes a reach around (poor taste?)
Would have taken him off my draft list completely.

Luke Braun tweeted he didn’t feel comfortable even ranking him pre-draft. Might also explain why Kiper was so hard on the pick. If other analysts did similar things he may not be so much of an “on-field reach” but have gotten knocked severely for the other stuff by analysts, but not the Vikings.
@"PurpleCrush" said:Really? Welcome to Minnesota tell me more about your alleged rapist tendencies? Couldn't that have waited? I know the allegations are disgusting, but why were the charges so late in coming and why were they dropped. I dont want to sound like I'm defending rapists here, but something here doesn't sound right, and for siefert to bring it up already is kinda in poor taste imo.@"purplefaithful" said:Already was, by Seifert...and it seemed awkward.@"pattersaur" said: Just read some extremely unsettling allegations against this guy from when he was 16… google his name and deadspin if you’re curious.

So we took a player with questionable character 2-3 rounds before he was projected? Don't you typically take those guys 2-3 rounds after they are projected as you figure they are worth the gamble? Everything in the draft has been the complete opposite of what makes sense. Never so frustrating watching a draft, this GM who was suppose to be this whiz kid is not even good at numbers, Wilfs totally messed this up
@"JimmyinSD" said:I am so not surprised by that. Sharks sense blood in the water, they go in for the kill. Charges get dropped all the time and it is not always because something didn't happen. This is a disappointment to say the least.@"PurpleCrush" said:Really? Welcome to Minnesota tell me more about your alleged rapist tendencies? Couldn't that have waited?
