This like meat to me. Good stuff with tough analysis on some of the players we have liked. Reading this makes me think that Jones or Ruiz are truly the only offensive linemen we should select in the first round, assuming the top four OT's are gone, as expected.

With Bectem having a positive drug test at the combine he could be in play.

I don't think so, but perhaps the cost to trade up for him will be more affordable.

It depends on what drug he tested positive for. If Heroin or meth he could drop out of the first round. If Marijuana probably not too far.

Most people agree with have 3 primary needs.

WR, CB, G

A secondary need, at least in my opinion is DE.

Most people agree the draft is deep in WR.

Most people agree there are no G's worth a #1. Do we draft a C or T and make them a G or move Reiff?

Big unknown: Ant. Is he a Viking this year? If not, S becomes a big need, not just a depth need.

Ideally I'd like to address CB and OL in 1st, if the value is there, and get WR in 2nd and maybe another in 4 or 5. Go DE and S in 3rd. A 2nd CB wouldn't be an awful idea either, in later rounds.

However, I have strong doubts that a 1st round value will be there for OL as a G, so I could see us go CB, WR in 1st and find the G in 2nd. Anyway we do it, Spielman needs to hit those 3 picks.

I think DT is a much greater need than DE.

DT: Pierce, Stephen, Watts, Hercules, JJ, Holmes

DE: Hunter, Odenigbo, Zettel

What about if they switch to 3-4?

Yea, I think there might be something to the Williams talk too.

Williams
Ruiz
Bradbury
Samia
O'Neal

Id take that as my starting line any time! Of course, I am thinking that both Samia and Bradbury make significant strength gains, but that is generally the case after the first year. Some of our young players from the past couple years are simply going to have to step up and get in the game, gotta have it!

Yeah it hasn’t seemed to hurt Tunsil’s production.

If it’s Mary Jane I don’t see it affecting his draft status much.

I’d be very happy to be able to draft him.

Honestly I think there is some fire to this Trent Williams smoke.

We can go largely BPA the rest of the way as long as they are CB, WR, Int OLine. 😉

Nice starting 5.

Maybe Udoh could make a run at RG also.

Tunsil still dropped a long way so if Bectan figured to go around 10-12 range could easily drop 10-12 spots.

Yep. He could fall to 22 and I'm not sure the Vikings would select him. I'm also not sure I would want them to.

Brad I read some great things about the Oregon State QB (Jake Luton) who could be drafted later. The Athletic raves about him (Size, Arm, accuracy, and low int%). Thoughts?
