Love the pick for us.  We need help at interior O-line more than any other position.  Outstanding zone reach blocker.  Super athletic and strong.  

Spielman didn't try and get cute.  Bradbury can play LG or Center, lets us tinker with the positions. 

Everyone complains Spielman ignores O-line, there's a good one.  Takes heat off us rest of draft to go BPA.

I might've taken Dillard over Bradbury but only because of position value. I stand by what I've said all along: that Bradbury is the best offensive lineman in this draft. This is an IDEAL outside zone blocker. Kubiak is celebrating. 



You deserve to celebrate, Bradbury was your guy all along. He is the best interior lineman in this class. You can argue Dillard due to OT being a premium position but you can't be upset with their choice.

Nope. I'm pretty stoked right now, Geoff.  I was worried, as you suggested, the Vikings might ding him for his arms, but once I saw that Clemson tape and saw how he handled 1st rounders Wilkins and 350 lb Dexter Lawrence, I was convinced.

Most of the "lack of anchor" BS came from Senior Bowl practices. I saw that, too. But it's one on one, power stuff, practice stuff. He won't win that every time. But that's not what he does. He's a movement guy. A zone guy. Sure, he might struggle on bull rushes against Snacks and the like, but he recovers remarkably well and he'll kick their asses on zone runs. 

It'll be interesting to see what they do with Elf. But as I mentioned before, this if the first time I think since Kevin Williams the Vikings have taken "my" guy in the 1st. We'll see how it turns out, but I'm confident the Vikings got a future All Pro here.

Kudos to you MB.  You know your stuff (at least football ;) ).
Boost our interior, get position flexibility/backup for Elf.  It was exactly what we wanted/needed.  Elf and Bradbury cement the interior of our line for a long time.

Agreed.  The only concern is whether or not they will stick with the same system for more than one year.
What if Kubiak and Stefanski leave after the 2019 season?
Will the new OC have the same scheme?
So far the track record of OCs sticking around with Zimmer is poor.
