Draft Day 3
Vikings picking #108. Still some interesting names and players at receiver, running back, tight end and I really like the Texas tackle Christian Jones. Jeremiah Trotter still out there and some decent corners too. Looking forward to seeing how we finish this thing out

Same, I know they needed a CB but really hoping they'd go DT at 108.
We've spent so many resources now on the corner position. Four players drafted in the 4th round or higher, a pricey free agent in Murphy, and a one year deal on Griffin. I'm done seeing us spend resources at corberback. Hopefully we finally have it right
Wonder if the Vikings might add JJ's pivot man Drake (Don't Call Me Ted) Nugent later.
Khristian Boyd, please. Thank you. Or Brandon Dorlus.
Walter Rouse, tackle from Oklahoma. Good pick as Oklahoma typically develops some good lineman. Not sure if he has some guard flexability of not. I thought this was an unusually deep group of lineman in this draft and happy to take advantage of that.I feel pretty good about tackle depth with Brandel and Rouse

And Corlus went the next pick at 109. We pick at 177 with 2 DT's DJ had rated in the 130's on the board and we pass again for a backup OT. Looks like we're giving up 5 ypc this season.
Aaaand the Lions take DT Mekhi Wingo at 189. Would've been nice for us at 177 but apparently the Vikings are now the NFL's first no-DT defense :rolleyes:
Kind of disappointing to not address interior offensive line and interior defensive line until round 7, but when you don't have picks...that's the way it goes. Both those areas will be a priority to address next offseason
Reichard is money.
