This year we'll start with a good trio, but upgrading at 12 could make a huge difference this year and upgrade over an aging Theilen in the near future. With many plays featuring 3+ WRs, if there's a premium WR at 12 that's a move I'd consider strongly. i kind of agree with you...I've seen some mocks that have us trading back with Pittsburg, and finding drake london still there at #20 - and us pulling the trigger there, while drafting cb's with our 2nd & 3rd rounders and a top guard with pitt's traded 2nd.... london - CB - guard - CB --- that seems like a nice draft right there...we'd be setting the table for our 1st round quarterback pick in 2023.... I think Osborne/Smith Marsette looked really good late last year...not sure why you would draft a WR that early when they have a higher bust rate and you already have Jefferson and Thielen. Drafting a Theilen replacement isn't a bad idea. But we have greater needs. Yes and yes. If I get one this year it's no higher than 4th round. Competition for Bisi for 5th WR and development project. I make WR a higher priority in 2023 after QB. CB, G, C need to be top priorities this year. The only reason I think WR would be good to get this year is there is A LOT of talent at that position in this draft. But for every JJ there are three Laquon Treadwells. treadwell should be playing tight end,....

Some say he might sneak into the 1st. I see a lot of comparisons to Deebo Samuel (but Watson is much bigger). To me he kind of sounds like a rich man's Cordarrelle Patterson. Just less "gadgety" and more WR.

Phil Riewer -> RE: 2022 NFL draft (3/31/2022 1:46:52 PM)
I wouldn't be too upset on the drafting WR at 1 since they have used most of their FA money on the defense again, I just don't see us not grabbing one of the 3 cb, S Hamiltion, or DT Davis.

NFL mock draft 2022: Todd McShay's predictions for all 64 picks of Rounds 1 and 2, including five QBs, 11 receivers and two more trades 12. Minnesota Vikings Derek Stingley Jr., CB, LSU Stingley is a tough evaluation. If Minnesota gets the 2019 version of his game, this is a steal at No. 12. But the injury-plagued uneven play we've seen over the past two years makes this pick risky. The Vikings still have a need at cornerback despite signing Patrick Peterson (who will turn 32 this summer), and there is no denying what Stingley is capable of doing on the field if he puts it all together. Stingley can wear a lot of different hats on defense, shows great instincts and has the ball skills and speed to lock down receivers. And the Vikings can let Peterson -- a fellow LSU alum -- help Stingley adjust to the pro game. The interior of the defensive line is also a concern, and Georgia's Jordan Davis and Devonte Wyatt deserve some lengthy thought. But ultimately, I just think it's too early to go that route. 46. Minnesota Vikings Perrion Winfrey, DT, Oklahoma I mentioned that the interior defensive line was something to consider when I gave Minnesota a cornerback in Round 1, but Winfrey would be an excellent pick at this point in Round 2 to satisfy that hole. The Vikings allowed 4.7 yards per carry last season, tied for third worst in the NFL. And Winfrey has the first-step quickness and active hands to shoot gaps and blow up plays in the backfield. https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2022/insider/story/_/id/33668299/nfl-mock-draft-2022-todd-mcshay-predictions-all-64-picks-rounds-1-2-including-five-qbs-11-receivers-two-more-trades

Through FA the Vikes seem to be ok with guys that have recently been injured, so it wouldn't be a surprise if their 1st round pick was an often injured player like Stingley, or maybe WR Jameson Williams.

How mad you'd be If you passed on Stingley and he's great vs how disappointing it would be if he fizzled out and you missed on CB again. I'm ok if he lands elsewhere. I'm a little bit more back on the wr wagon...with the way wr $ is going.

I'm a little bit more back on the wr wagon...with the way wr $ is going. We can get a solid WR in Rounds 2 or 3. That is probably the deepest position in draft. My realistic order(assuming Sauce is gone and Thibodeau red flags are overblown) for #12. Stingley Davis Cross(Is he too talented a Tackle to play RG?) McDuffie I would be ecstatic with Stingley or Davis. Davis was held back at Georgia(run stopper). He could be a 3 down monster.

All 32 NFL teams were in attendance for LSU's Pro Day on Wednesday, and Stingley was the main attraction. He measured in at 6-0 1/4, 188 pounds, 30 5/8" arm length and 74" wingspan, per 247Sports' Shea Dixon. Stingley also raised eyebrows by running an unofficial 4.37 40-yard dash, recording a vertical of 38.5" and a broad jump of 10'2." Per Dixon, the 40 time and vertical would have ranked in the top five among cornerbacks at the NFL Combine, and both would have ranked first among the cornerbacks being discussed as first-round picks.

Man, if we are able to pick Stingley up with 12 and he performs as well as he played in 2019, we win the draft. He's a great corner who can play man and zone.

Quick look at the draft from the perspective of what the potential needs will be in 2-3 years: Offense - QB, might need to wait until 2023 - WR - IOL, now and forever it seems - RB, but would not pick one high Defense - Pretty much everywhere. A case could be made to draft high now to build each level of the D, although LB is ok for now. If Sauce, Stingley, and Davis are gone, consider trading down with a focus on IOL and a next tier CB.

Don't forget McDuffie from Washington. He's not as big as Gardner or Stingley, but he is able to shut down a #1 receiver. He also plays big in run support.

quote: ORIGINAL: Bill Johanesen Arkansas WR Burks is getting some press. I mentioned him a couple weeks ago for a possible #12 but then did a bit more research. He's got a massive catching radius and jump ball ability but his speed is average at best. Could he make to the 2nd round?
