If he's available, that sounds like a good option.

I might take a flyer on the K from Georgia, Blankenship, too.

Let's get Throck!

And a developmental QB. Browning does not excite me at all.

Baltimore drafted him already.

Can O'Neill play LT?



Played it well in college. Performed better at Senior Bowl on the left side vs right side.




kgdabom -> RE: NFL Draft 2020 (4/25/2020 4:45:02 PM)

McDonald one pick before us.

My bad, and with our pick traded...




Don T in CO -> RE: NFL Draft 2020 (4/25/2020 4:48:38 PM)

Updated PFF top 5 available, cuz why not

73. WR K.J. HILL, OHIO STATE
Hill's lack of speed or reps outside make him a very likely candidate to be a slot only at the next level. His combination of creative route running and hands give him a good chance to succeed there.

79. TE HUNTER BRYANT, WASHINGTON
Bryant is a tweener. He's also a starter in NFL offenses even if you called him a WR. That's the way the game is going at TE nowadays.

82. QB ANTHONY GORDON, WASHINGTON STATE
Gordon has a handful of high-level quarterbacking reps on his tape every week. It's the low-end though that scares us. Disappearing against the two best defenses he faced – Utah and Washington – is a tough sell.

83. EDGE KENNY WILLEKES, MICHIGAN STATE
Willekes’ motor is great, but if it doesn't translate to production as a pass-rusher, it's not particularly valuable. He does not possess the physical tools that make us think it ever will either.


117. IOL CALVIN THROCKMORTON, OREGON
Throckmorton's done it for four straight seasons now across multiple positions — never looking out of place at any of them. That coordination and versatility should bode well for him in the NFL.

Watched a lot of MWC games. Pretty meh.

I think he went at the right round, though.




Bruce Johnson -> RE: NFL Draft 2020 (4/25/2020 4:51:42 PM)

Kenny Willekes is a major "steal" at least going by the consensus board — ranked #131 on the board and fell to the Vikings at #225 nearly one hundred spots later.

Kenny Willekes EDGE, MICHST
Height: 6-4, Weight: 264

Willekes lacks in the bend department but is a karate master with his hands and has a flexible frame to absorb then dispatch blocks. Quality size too. (Chris Trapasso)

Bill Johanesen -> RE: NFL Draft 2020 (4/25/2020 4:53:35 PM)

Still 3 more picks, yikes.




Don T in CO -> RE: NFL Draft 2020 (4/25/2020 4:54:52 PM)

Draft analyst Dane Brugler on new #Vikings DE Kenny Willekes "Willekes lacks the anchor and length to be a consistent edge-setter vs NFL offensive tackles but his resilient mentality and competitive motor translate to production, which should land him in a defensive line rotation a potential fifth rounder"

@ArifHasanNFL
!!!! Love this pick was just on a live show saying the Vikings should have taken him instead of Wonnum in the fourth lol

Daniel House
@DanielHouseNFL
LOVE the Kenny Willekes pick. I watched him a ton in the Big Ten. He is disruptive and has potential DL versatility. Willekes had 16 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks last year. He was listed at No. 108 on the overall board. #Vikings

Chad Graff

A line from @dpbrugler's scouting report on Vikings seventh-round pick Kenny Willekes: "Plays pissed off and competes like the other team peed in his Cheerios."




Dave Odle -> RE: NFL Draft 2020 (4/25/2020 4:56:01 PM)

I've heard rumors that NFL owners want to extend the draft to 10 rounds. Not sure how I feel about it, though. If we had a "minor league" system like NFL Europe used to be, it could be cool for developing PS players.




Bruce Johnson -> RE: NFL Draft 2020 (4/25/2020 4:56:29 PM)

More on Willekes. He's a player that perhaps hoped to go in the third or fourth round.

Nice. I like it when we get the good grades. Most sources had him rated higher than Wonnum who we took long ago.

We got House's #108 at pick 225. Hope House is right.

It's 8 normal round equivalents now.

Yeah but a hell of a walk-on sunglasses salesman. Stayed late, worked on sales pitch.

Check out this video of a new Viking. Awesome!

Dave Odle -> RE: NFL Draft 2020 (4/25/2020 5:20:20 PM)

Overall, a pretty good draft. We helped our team a ton.

QB, OL, LB, and S still concerns me as far as depth and quality starters.




Brad H -> RE: NFL Draft 2020 (4/25/2020 5:21:06 PM)

Thakarius Keyes. Hard to beat that name.

Yep, it sounds like the distant, even funkier cousin of Miles Davis.
