?? as people already said not sure he belongs there or not at this stage. I don't see 1st round or top of the 2nd but, between Thompson and Reyes being there in the 3rd.. its tempting for any team thats looking for D-line help and working either into the rotation.

Thompson.. that kid. holy hell if he gets with a D-line coach, soaks up some teaching and strengthens his core in the process.. watch-out.

seems to get locked up on blocks pretty often

struggles to fight through, with limited hand use, technique

late to recognize movement of ball carrier

pretty good initial pop, though

my pleasure I hope (tentatively believe) Spielman and Co. put a priority on the back-end of this defense at this point. Ball skills and coverage skills in the defensive backfield of the Minnesota Vikings? Imagine that.

Purge the dead weight and get some guys in with some talent and drive.. "Good bye Marcus Sherels and Asher Allen. Brandon Burton you're on notice. Mistral Raymond grow a pair.. the rest of you crap heap safeties can find someplace to hide until Kluwe and Longwell need you on the field so call a cab.. chances are you're gone tonight."

Just one of those interesting "ripple effects" you get in the draft ...

You took my guy ... i took MIA's guy (Thought El Magister might be looking at a QB, so knew we wouldnt get another bite) ... they took another to backup and train behind Moore ... KCC have just seen two go, so they take a third ...

See the trouble youve caused!!!

Its all just a matter of time before the whole system gets thrown out of whack..

Says something about the presumptions we've built already and how we'll react to certain kids going at different places when the hammer drops on the 26th.

Pick is in...someone else is up.

Interestingly, just reading through the pre-draft visit lists to BUF?

Weve had:

3 - Osweiler, Wilson & Cousins in @QB
3 - (Kalil - no chance, just diligence), Martin & Adams @OT
2 - Mercilus, Branch, C.Jones @DE/OLB
2 - (Blackmon - same as Kalil), Quick @WR
2 - Carder, Irvin @LB
1 - Glenn @OG
1 - Kirkpatrick @CB
1 - Richardson (see Kalil) @RB

Looks like (based on this which AINT all encompassing by any stretch) at:

An OL early, an LB in the middle rnds, a developmental QB as and when and whichever best placed DE is there at one pick or another

Youre right about the presumptions though. Could be crazier than usual trying to call anything outside the top 3 this year

Yea theres a lot of guys that can help teams yet as you look through how this is playing out.. still the 3rnd though.. have to keep that in mind I suppose.

I mentioned in the pick thread I'd really like to see Spielman and Co. dump a few of those 4th rounders and move back up into the mid 3rd to lock a guy they like but it slipped my mind that the 2 late 4th picks are comp'd that they can't trade. #98 + #138 to move up? Not sure how that would work or what ball park they'd be in for a landing spot though.. would have to do it at some point I would think with the talent level drop coming quick.

If the vikes trade down which they are trying to do, it opens the window to trade up and grab Kalil. Its not a stretch that Buff ends up with Kalil.

I had a feeling you were going to go wide receiver. Luckily you didn't take my guy, although I think we were looking at different types of receivers.

Instantly becomes your WR2 and the jets fans get to yell TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON each time he catches a ball. Win win. I think you guys will take Kendal Wright in the first though.

Nah, we don't need another small speedster. We have Jeremy Kerley for the slot that we just took last year. We need a compliment to Santonio. If Floyd is off the board, they don't go WR in the 1st.

Yea, I'm fully expecting a mess come draft day.. I'm just going to sit back and let it ride and see if theres anything entirely ridiculous.

You seen the Vikes pre draft list yet? Heard a couple of intersting names (lionel smith & casey heyward @CB) - but not seen a list

In fact has anyone got any interesting names on their teams pre-draft list - small school or unexpected, that kinda thing?

I know they dont mean much (smoke and mirrors like everything else this time of year) but sometimes they try and smuggle a name or two in

Hmmm...I kinda didn't see that Toon hadn't been taken. I should apply for the Vikings GM job.

Kerley is from my pre-divorce hometown.
