If we draft Williams we’re going 10 personnel as our base offense, and we’re going to blow the lid off this league….

Kansas City wants him and they’re going to offer a lot to trade up….

Before free agency, our biggest holes were C (Bradbury), G (Cole, Udoh), CB1, CB2 (Peterson), SCB (Alexander), LB (Barr, Vigil), DE / Edge [opposite of Hunter], NT (Pierce), TE (Conklin), FS (Woods)

If you give the benefit of the doubt to our FA signings (Edge Smith, LB Hicks, NT Phillips, SCB Sullivan, CB2 Peterson, G Reed), our biggest holes remaining are:

C, CB1, S, TE [IMO Bynum and Smith are promising but still question marks as full-time starters ... they need real competition and depth]

Also WR, Edge, OT ... depth sucks everywhere but RB … so premium positions could easily be addressed for depth now and cap flexibility later.

WR has Bisi coming back, Osborne, and Smith Marsette. Depth at WR really isn't a worry.

Osborne is a starter for all practical purposes so he doesn't count. ISM as the only back-up to JJ Thielen Osborne? Be serious.

(please don't bring up Bisi ... I will consider that a misfire and let it go this time but don't bring him up again)

No way bisi makes the final 53….

You never know with our new staff ... they can fix anything that's been zimmered.

.
Bisi doesn’t have the base for these boys….

Just hope the Packers don't get him.

Not a problem. Let them draft him....lets get Hamilton and the stud Michigan kid that tore his achilles in the 2nd.

anyone think Pickins makes it to us in the 2nd?

Stingley and Pickens would be a pretty awesome haul!

I was just thinking today about how Ojabo fell off the planet after the injury...he would be a steal, but probably less in the mix this year than Williams would be...

I wouldn't take him i think

I want a game changer if we pick at 12.

I don't think safeties in today's game are as valuable as CB/DE.

When is the last time a game changing S was drafted in the 1st?
Earl Thomas... 2010?
And I don't even know if legion of boom could dominate today with all the protection rules.

Maybe Hamilton is that good... but I'd rather see WR/CB/DE in this draft.

Everything about Jordan Davis screams perennial all-pro. I'm all in on him.

holy moly, they are saying 650,000 people at the draft!!

of course my first thought is "superspreader"

as I sit here recovering from covid myself...

thankfully they are not letting me go back to work this weekend, so I'll have to wade through how many hours of draft coverage?

All I ask for tonight is just get it right. I don't know who is the best guy to take at #12. That's fine. The only ones who need to know that are the Vikings. Whether we love or hate the picks on draft night doesn't matter. What matters is that at the end of the 2022 season, we are all saying ... holy shit, they killed it on the draft.

Good luck to Kwesi and his system.

McDuffie is ours at 12. If we get Brisker with our second pick, I’ll be happy.

We may be able to trade back a few spots and get McDuffie.

Might be a bevy of offensive players to pick from at 12 or to sell our pick for.

That would work. McDuffie could be there at 15 or 16.

Zero interest in McDuffie. Jordan Davis Perennial All-Pro or a middle of the pack corner. It should be an easy choice.
