Draftnut57 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I've been looking everywhere. I thought someone had posted on this but could not find it. I was thinking Walters had one also but looked and Nada. Looks to me like it's going to be deep in OL. Good for us but I think we need to take care of that with proven UFA pick ups. That is the biggest need at this time if you ask me. And this would be the safest way to fix our line so Matt can throw the ball. Did anybody else notice Eli having all day to throw the ball??? I think we should at least pick up one big time OL in Fa and then we can grab one in the draft. I still think Johnson can play. Sure would be nice if we could get the Ga boy.

A-TowN.- Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I agree we can address our line early and we OL needs to be our top priority. If you are looking at the positional strength and weaknesses of this draft I would say:Strong Positions (no order):OG CBDE/3-4 OLBDTLBRBWRMediocre Positions:QB (no one pops out to me after Day 1)OC (only 3-4 potential starter type)Weak Positions:S (worst I've seen in a while)OT (especially LT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftfield Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Minnesota Vikings ready to trade away their 1st rnd pick (3rd Overall)http://blogs.nfl.com...3-overall-pick/Kalil stud LT is presumed to be the guy they'd pick up at that spot. Would Dimitroff broker a deal more aligned to player trades rather than draft picks in order to pick up Kalil?

Psychic Gibbon Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 OG, CB, RB, and DE/OLB are pretty deep. S is particularly bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no other centerpieces besides them which are expendable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be trying to find ways of getting more picks I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjerry Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Minnesota Vikings ready to trade away their 1st rnd pick (3rd Overall)http://blogs.nfl.com...3-overall-pick/Kalil stud LT is presumed to be the guy they'd pick up at that spot. Would Dimitroff broker a deal more aligned to player trades rather than draft picks in order to pick up Kalil?What would we give them? We traded two 1st rounders, a 2nd round, and two 4th rounders to move to no 6. To get to no 3, we would probably have to trade Roddy, Turner, our 2012 2nd round, our 2013 1st round, and it still might not be enough. Kalil is NOT worth it. No player in this draft is worth it.

He will be trying to find ways of getting more picks I think.Here's what Im thinking the Vikings are in dire dire need of Corners and Safeties.So my first thought is Franchise GrimesThen resign DecoudTrade both of these guy and Dunta along with our 3rd and next years 2nd for Kalil.All 3 of those guys are instant upgrades for the Vikings, We still keep our 2nd Round pick and the first next year.In return we get Matt Kalil, then we could go OG in the 2nd, get a Slot corner in the 3rd and wing it with Owens and Franks starting (Both were great down the stretch and Owens seems to be a top 20 Corner on the outside, contrast he's a bottom 5 CB in the slot.) Of course we'd have to find somebody at FS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all about getting the guys up front first and you can get deals at he skill positions latter. I'd like to see this....OT+C And RB as UFAs such as LT , a lot of good UFA at RB this year .. Good enough for a 2nd or 3rd RB. 2.DE3.CB5,G6,DT7.RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrinson Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 i would day this class has some pretty good QBs RB WR not many linemen offense or defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draftnut57 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 If we end of with a good G , CB and DE/OLB in this draft , I'll be very happy with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's unrealistic to begin with.To make it even worse, you then suggest we also throw in our two starting corners.On top of ALL of that, you also think we should throw in this year's 3rd and next year's 2nd for an UNPROVEN player. 5 players - Decoud, Grimes, Robinson, a 3rd rounder, and a 2nd rounder - for an UNPROVEN player.Rather than TRADING ALL OF THAT AWAY, how about we simply utilize FA for a PROVEN PLAYER that doesn't require losing any of our players or potential players (draft picks)?This isn't Madden...and may God have mercy on your soul for such a ridiculous and incredibly idiotic post.
