I liked the weekend day drafts better, although some were on a nice spring day.

Bill Johanesen -> RE: NFL Draft 2020 (4/23/2020 10:27:30 AM)
I think it's a pivotal draft. Enough draft capital to keep going pretty strong if he hit on them. If there are mixed results, I think we slowly slide into the 8-8 (now 9-8 or 8-9) realm. Teams can stay mediocre like that forever unless they are lucky. Probably best to trade away the roster and salaries for draft picks, young players, and embrace the suck so as to get high draft picks. IOW, a rebuild. Hopefully we are lot yet there because we still have some talent out on the roster. Pivotal three days.

I like all the pre-draft stuff but wonder how it would be like the old school days where you picked up the paper and read who they picked. Or when players were drafted and didn't even know!

Paul Allen seems to strongly believe the Vikings will trade up with their first pick.

Jonny Athletic's Take: OT: Trade up Candidates: Becton, Wirfs, and Thomas (top 15) Hold Firm: Jackson, Jones, and Ezra Cleveland (dark horse that is connected to vikes) CB: Trade up: OSU Okudah to 3-5 so unrealistic, CJ Henderson 11-14 Hold Firm: Fulton, Gladney, and less likely Diggs (Stefon's Brother) WR: Trade up: Lamb, Jeudy, Ruggs, Jefferson Hold Firm: Mims, Aiyuk (maybe even a trade down), Maybe Jefferson slides down DE: Trade up: Chaisson Hold Firm: Epenesa DT: Unlikely with Pierce and Zettel signing unless Kinlaw falls QB: Unlikely unless Hurts and Fromm fall. Spielman and Zimmer need a 2015 draft when they grabbed Waynes, Kendricks, Hunter, and Diggs. Winfield JR being drafted could be explored (& trading Harris).

Yeah I’m rooting hard for both Bradbury and Hughes, but all I can go on is there play as of yet. Before knee surgery they were absolutely thrilled with Hughes, but honestly he was picked on last year, and was a liability. Hopefully it’s the classic two year recovery from knee surgery scenario. Bradbury got whooped up early, but trended a little better late. Good vs the Saints, not so much against the 9ers like everyone else. Yeah you hit Waynes on the button. I thought he'd be better for the 11th pick for sure.

Not nearly as good of a coverage cb considering he was the 11th overall pick though. Hughes i think will rebound this year. but far from a stud. Waynes has been a bum since day one. I remember when he was finally named the opening-day starter in 2016 and he got schooled by Tajae Sharpe. That's right, Tajae, not Shannon.

quote: ORIGINAL: Brad H quote: ORIGINAL: kurt bilben quote: ORIGINAL: Trekgeekscott quote: ORIGINAL: Bill Johanesen 1st Rounders since 2009 Harvin Ponder Kalil Harrison Floyd Rhodes Patterson Barr Teddy Waynes Treadwell Hughes Bradbury 4 of 13 still on the team, and that's with recently selected Hughes and Bradbury which is expected. Mostly only a career ending injury or being a mammoth bust would exclude them. Harvin got us draft picks. Ponder was a giant reach where he was picked. and busted out Kalil was very good his rookie year then injuries and loss of confidence ruined him Harrison is gold Floyd would have been very good if not for a botched surgery Rhodes was good for years then fell off a cliff Patterson was very gifted athletically but just couldn't figure out how to run a route right. Even Bill Belichick couldn't get more out of him. Barr is better than people here give him credit for. Teddy would be our QB now if not for the knee injury Waynes would probably still be here if not for salary cap issues Treadwell was just a bad pick, but very few WRs that draft turned out good... Hughes is about to get tested. Bradbury is about to get tested more. And if you look at the rest of the draft we haven't done all that bad. A different take- Harvin ultimately a risk I would’ve taken as well - Uber talented/ Elevated us. Ponder was a need/ reach brutal selection. A lot of people usually get canned over picks like that. Kalil was good until he received coaching that didn’t expect more out of him. 🙄 Dork, reaffirmed my dislike for USC players. Rhodes ultimately a good pick. Who could foresee this cliff he dropped off relatively young. Patterson although I loved aspects of his game was another waste of heavy capital/ picks for a gadget player. Barr at #9 is a good pick, needs more consistency, not used properly in scheme IMO Teddy (I’m biased) trading back up for him was a very good move. Who could foresee that injury ughhh. Love the kid Waynes was ok, underachieved IMO, but not a bad pick at #11. Had the tools, not the killer instinct. Treadwell bad, real bad, never showed anything. Hughes got raves during his first training camp. Didn’t need CB in the 1st round, bad pick We’ll see/injury Bradbury looked liked Elflein as a center early, came on a little (Trending bust) gotta get more stout. Why you don’t draft C in 1st. All said we’ve been praised league wide for having one of the most talented rosters in the NFL the last 5-6 years inspite of many 1st round hickups. This is THE MOST IMPORTANT DRAFT in quite a few years for us. We can either hit a home run where we need it- OL, CB, WR, DL and be right back up there, or not, and fall back into the Mike Tice/ Leslie Frazier years.... SKOL Vikes this week! Another opinion: Harvin -- Heart was never in the game. Only did it for the money. Ponder -- Brutal pick Kalil -- A classic gravy-train pick. Everybody thought he was gonna be his brother. Think Tom Arnold, one of the biggest gravy-trainers of all time Rhodes -- was a star for a few years and then the game took its toll Patterson -- gifted athlete who always gave 100%. One of the great return guys the Vikings have ever had. Not a great receiver, but had heart Barr -- a guy the Vikings have always played out of position Teddy -- S-A-W-F-T. Dude broke his leg walking on the practice field Waynes -- DOUBLE S-A-W-F-T One of the worst picks the Vikings have made given their needs at the time. Didn't like him the minute they drafted him Hughes -- Stud Bradbury -- massive upgrade over Elflein, who was disappointing from day one. Showed some promise as a rookie. Not a bad take overall... Although your contrast on Harvin/Patterson is off to me... To me... Patterson was a really poor mans Percy... just a gadget player. Percy was all the returner, runner parts of Patterson AND a great slot receiver. Played the game fearlessly. Put the team on his back in some of those 2009 games. Patterson was the one who would fumble a critical return and then be yukking it up on the sideline.
