CBS Mock: #3 Edge to Vikes @ 24; Tua to Sin City???
Yetur Gross-Matos EDGE
Penn State • Jr • 6'5" / 264 lbs
Projected Team: Minnesota
PROSPECT RNK: 19th
POSITION RNK: 3rd
Minnesota is getting to the point where they will have to make decisions at all levels of their defense. They could be one of the more interesting teams to follow this offseason.
DL would not surprise me but I think DT makes more sense - we have a pipeline showing potential at DE (Odenigbo, Weatherly if we re-sign him).
I think edge only really makes sense in the context of
Griffen opting out of his contract.
I think DT, OG, and QB make the most amount of sense with
the first pick, unless you are looking at cutting expensive guys to make more
cap space and we need to fill those positions.
I wouldn't mind a DE in the 3rd or 4th, but I wouldn't be thrilled about drafting one in the 1st. A penetrating DT, LT, OG, QB (opportunistic), and even CB are bigger concerns.

What if Tua is available at pick 20 and cleared by doctors?

@"mblack" said:us picking 31/32 is just a possible as any other offseason scenario at this point... now remember i didnt say how we get to 31/32... I wouldnt be surprised to see Rick trade down in the first to get an extra day 2 pick and a whole bucket of late day 3 opportunities.@"JimmyinSD" said:At the bold...You made me laugh.

I'll stick with what I had in mind when I replied the first time (it does not include a trade :) ).@"mblack" said:us picking 31/32 is just a possible as any other offseason scenario at this point... now remember i didnt say how we get to 31/32...
