Remmers @ RG in latest iteration of Vikings OL
The full Vikings’ 90-man roster was present during the fifth Organized Team Activity practice on Wednesday morning.
Linebacker Anthony Barr returned after taking out an insurance policy to protect himself against injury, in lieu of a contract extension he wanted before OTAs this spring. He completed the Vikings’ starting lineups after sitting out last week.
The next most notable change was Mike Remmers moving to right guard, as forecasted a week ago by head coach Mike Zimmer. Remmers took snaps at guard throughout Wednesday’s team sessions. Rashod Hill replaced him at right tackle.
With center Pat Elflein still sidelined after offseason ankle surgery, guards Tom Compton and Danny Isidora rotated at left guard. Nick Easton moved to center in Elflein’s place.

I just wasnt as invested in who we got as in years where I focus myself on it....honestly its a bit relaxing to just play it like XMas morning, especially when we drafted so late so its really up in the air who was going to be there to pick from.@"JimmyinSD" said:Haha, and since you were talking draft, you are probably quite correct in that statement.@"greediron" said:why would we all want to be wrong?@"JimmyinSD" said:Not if everyone would just agree with me...@"MaroonBells" said:point was, there was no perfect answer after the 3 that we all seemed to agree on. Rick followed his board and draft experience, if they didnt have the guy rated as high for what ever reason then I am cool with it... and no matter who they took when there was likely to be arguments.@"JimmyinSD" said:Probably. But then the Giants should have the same questions since Shurmur will almost certainly employ a lot of the same zone runs he used in Minnesota. Personally, I think Hernandez might be "best" in a power scheme, but he can also move really well. I don't think he's limited to power schemes at all, which is probably good since their new back, Saquon Barkley, is a very good outside zone runner.@"Norseman" said: We wouldn't be having this conversation if we had just picked Will Hernandez in the first round. Just sayin....... Nope...we would be arguing about why we took a man blocking guard in the first round for a zone scheme.

that is 10 hours more than I spent. It is such a crap shoot, I just wait until I find out who we draft, then I watch those clips.
