Random Thoughts Less Than 2 Weeks Out
Starting to hear talk about several teams trying to move up.
Charles Davis’ latest mock has the Cardinals taking Simpson at 3. You know someone is going to do something totally unexpected in the top 10, and this would be classic Cardinals. They’ll follow it up next year with Arch or Sayin.
Early look at 27 is heavy with top end guys. Might be as many as 4 RBs with first round grades.
Latest word out of Minnesota is they’ll view production over traits in the draft. Depending on the position, I’m not sure I agree with that approach.
I don’t think Downs is going as high as he’s consistently mocked. He’s just not special as far as traits go.
I cannot wait to see what Frank Smith does with the run game. Could have a big impact on the C we acquire. I think they’ll place a premium on movement over anchor.
I think I like Faulk and Woods as our best options at iDL. Both were somewhat miscast in 25. Woods in particular. I really like him in 24 more than 25.
Grabbing Demond Claiborne to be our Achane would be my best outcome at 97 or if we acquire a 4th in a modest trade down. Delp at the same range would also be an excellent outcome. J-Rod would be great insurance for the annual Cashman injury.

Ive got an optometry appointment this would be good for....
If I had to bet my own $$?? I think they go Woods in Rd1.
No Fatty
No CB
No Faulk
No S
I mean, he's the closest in this draft to a KW imo. We'll see how well this ages or not
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
