One guy I REALLY like is Joe Reed (WR - Virginia). I would be very happy if the Vikings came away with him in this draft!
Doubt they'd pay more than a 2nd. But they SHOULD pay a 2nd.Is there any way the Vikings come out of this week with Trent Williams??
If so, what will it cost them?
Everyone said that talks never happened for there to be a still.OBJ still in the talks?
And the positions they are looking at have players equally rated from about from where they are drafting down to about the middle of the 2nd round anyway, so would make a ton of sense.I wouldn't be surprised to see them trade way down or even out of the 1st completely. They have $12m in cap space and picks in the early 20's week each carry a bit of about $2.2m.
No, probably not.And pay him a huge contract with what money?
I'd thought the assumption was the Vikes can always cut Reiff and get $9M cap relief... which is likely the outcome of signing his replacement.And pay him a huge contract with what money?
The ideal trade scenario would be Carolina giving up their 2nd, 3rd and 6th to come up to 22 to get Jordon Love. The 22nd pick puts them in front of New England and New Orleans.I wouldn't be surprised to see them trade way down or even out of the 1st completely. They have $12m in cap space and picks in the early 20's week each carry a bit of about $2.2m.
I would expect there to be better CB's and S's still there in round 1 than Gladney and Winfield.Ryan Clark on ESPN talking about Antoine Winfield Jr as the best safety in the draft and possible 1st round pick.
I think if the choice is Gladney or some other good corner or Winfield I am leaning towards Winfield. He can play corner too.
Such as who?I would expect there to be better CB's and S's still there in round 1 than Gladney and Winfield.
Do you think Trevon Diggs is a no-go because of his brother, or is that not something that matters?
I think the ideal scenario for the Vikings would be Ezra Cleveland and AJ Terrell.
Fulton and Johnson I think are quite a bit ahead of Winfield and Gladney.Such as who?
Diggs is likely off the board due to relationship with his older brother.
I like Terrell and also Fulton and Jaylon Johnon and Gladney.and Bryce Hall.
I cannot say with conviction that any of those corners are better than Winfield is. Winfield is like the Honey Badger. He can play so many different spots of the defense. Which of these corners can also do that??
I disagree with you about Winfield ability to play outside. The injury issues are a fair point.Fulton and Johnson I think are quite a bit ahead of Winfield and Gladney.
I see Winfield's versatility, but he's also been very injury prone, and frankly how valuable is that versatility? They aren't gonna use him at Safety with Smith and Harris there. They aren't gonna use him at LB with Kendricks and Barr there. He's nowhere near as good in coverage as Fulton, Johnson or Terrell, and isn't versatile enough to play outside CB.
I like Winfield, but I think he's a pretty questionable fit with the Vikings.
0 star recruit? Why did LSU even sign him? Hope he’s not a product of Burrow!Steal
Or is it the other way? Hmmmm0 star recruit? Why did LSU even sign him? Hope he’s not a product of Burrow!
Yeah I like him, just wanted Lamb. Kind of a lot of holes to fill though...Or is it the other way? Hmmmm
Trade back...or Johnson or GladneyAlright, who we thinking they're targeting with this upcoming pick? Edge? DT? CB?
Yeah they have so many picks, it's almost a guarantee.They will be trading up in the 2nd or 3rd for sure!
This. That game was amongst the most depressing things I have ever watched. Just dominated on both sides.I would have liked to see some beef added in the 1st. It makes me a little queasy that 49ers manhandled us on LOS and added a monster like Kinlaw to that DL.
Patience!This. That game was amongst the most depressing things I have ever watched. Just dominated on both sides.
Fun Hater!!!Gladney's knee gives me pause. But hard to feel too bad about those two selections.
Agreed. Pretty indifferent about the 2 picks. i probably would have rather passed on Jefferson and just addressed WR later. Gladney went about where he should. I like Fulton more, but I won't complain too much. Really would have loved to seen Josh Jones or AJ Epenesa with one of those 2 picks. But neither actual pick was bad.Gladney's knee gives me pause. But hard to feel too bad about those two selections.
I am in the same boat. I totally wanted them to take Winfield just for the story lines and legacy. I have no idea if it would have been the right pick....mozzy84 said:Total homer pick in me wanted Winfield. Plus he’s pretty good. Oh well like the Jefferson pick.
Winfield Jr is still on the board so I think there’s a decent chance the Vikings make a move for him.I am in the same boat. I totally wanted them to take Winfield just for the story lines and legacy.

You spelled Ezra Cleveland wrong...Winfield Jr is still on the board so I think there’s a decent chance the Vikings make a move for him.
