It is hard to say until we see how active they are in the FA market. Hopefully they go out and sign a top FA WR.. Maybe sign one or two CB/Safety who may not be "Stars" but better than what we have..After we see where they are after FA then it will be easier to decide if i think they can afford to drop down to say #6 or need to stick where they are.. 
Not me. Im no ####### Urbanhack..
Looks like that won't be an issue.Stadium deal done
If the Rams take Kali, the Vikings will trade down.. for the right price of course or take RGIII.. There is no way one of the teams below the Vikings don't try to outmaneuver the other one to get RGIII.
Good point...but if they don't get a shot at Kalil, I am assuming that they will be able to trade down and pick up Reiff and additional picks, which would be an even better scenario.
Imo.. Kali, RGIII, Blackmon.. thinking it will be Kali, but if the Rams take him and they can't get a Great deal to trade down they can't pass up RGIII.Nobody wants Blackmon at 3? I dont get it, he looks awesome. Go O-Line in the second and then defense. Free agency for another WR and CB.
Stephon Gilmore, CB South Carolina Trumaine Johnson, CB MontanaMaybe they reach a bit for Mychal Kendricks, ILB California to take over for E.J. in the middle.
The CBs sound about right, but I would rather see a safety picked...I think Brinkley will be fine in the middle if he comes back healthy.I hate to say it, but I hope Cook gets out of his mess, he was really playing well. I think the safeties are the weakness moreso than the corners.
Agree, Corners have a lot of question marks (Winfield's age, Cook's legal, Griffin's health (if he is healthier he needs to take a pay cut) but the safety position is more questionable.PA was talking to Mike Wobschall from vikings.com yesterday and he sounded like the Vikings could possibly concentrate on putting playmakers around Ponder this year to help his development and put the defense on back burner until next year.
Well that would at least be interesting. If they could sign at least one, preferably two good FA receivers...
I agree...I was actually impressed with Jenkins last year, but it will be better to have him as a #3 instead of a #1/#2 receiver. If they could get Wallace or Meachem and add Kalil, it could be fun to watch...I don't think they need the big red zone receiver as I think Rudolph will take that role.
I think his development would be helped more by getting one FA receiver and then grabbing either Ben Grubbs or Carl Nicks. You get Kalil, Nicks/Grubbs, and Sullivan next to each other and move Charlie Johnson to the RG(or Hutch if he's still here this year) and now you only have one weak spot on the line in Loadholt. A weak spot only against speed rushers, which if the interior of the line gets solidified might not be nearly as weak since there will be room to step up. He's already got AP and Harvin. Rudolph will be a great safety valve IMO. One more playmaker would be more than enough. Give the kid time to throw and it'll do more for his development than 5 playmakers on offense.
Agree, but I heard yesterday either on ESPN radio or Sirius NFL radio that VJax is willing to take less coin to stay in SD. IMO he would seem like the best get for the Vikes, unless the Steelers can't get a deal done for Wallace (and I'm not convinced he would be a good fit here anyway). I just hope they don't make a play for Wayne, that dude is done.
The Vikes were among the league leaders last year in yards per rush with a rickety OL. If they did what you just said, that OL could go from average-at-best to one of the better units in the league. I agree that does more to help this offense as a whole than adding a guy like Blackmon. Adding at least one good WR is an absolute must, but I don't think he has to be a true #1 kind of guy.
Let's just get above .500 this year then we will go for the superbowl.
Let's get a new stadium deal done first so they don't
to another state. 
After that we can shoot for above .500 and THAN a Super Bowl!! 
I am not from Minnesota so I can't really say I have a horse in the race, but what is with all of the whining from people and politicians over a new stadium? I understand that why should the state give a multimillionare money to build a new stadium, but that is the way it always has been and always will be done.I wonder if people realize how much that stadium is used other than for football games especially if it has a roof, which I think it needs in order to pass. It brings in a lot of income for the state as well as Wilf. Shoot, if the state had invested the income from the dump Dome over the years, they could probably pay for a whole new stadium and then some.It looks like lawmakers are playing a game of chicken with the team right now and you can bet they will cry and ##### at the top of their lungs if the team does in fact move.'snogger said:Let's get a new stadium deal done first so they don't'snellman said:

It costs them twice the amount to bring back a team then it would have to just build a stadium.. But Minnesota never seems to learn from past mistakes.
That's not exactly how it went down.They've played chicken before and lost.. See the Minnesota North Stars..

Granted there was a lot more to it,but not agreeing on a new stadium was part of it. Ok so all these years later I'm still bitter and since Norm is long gone and the msc are still here I'll blame them.That's not exactly how it went down.They've played chicken before and lost..

That wouldn't be bad at all...although I have a feeling they won't go that WR heavy and will grab a safety in there somewhere in the 2nd-4th range. I'm thinking they will get a WR in free agency and maybe draft one.They do have a 6th rounder that they got from Cleveland in the Jayme Mitchell trade and another 7th from New England that they got in the Randy Moss deal. They are banking on two more Compensatory picks which I have heard could be in the 4th round (Sidney Rice and Ray Edwards). Speilman has been talking about the "10" picks they will have...I would guess they are going to use the 5th-7th round picks that they own to move up to grab quality players they feel have fallen a bit.
I have changed my mind several times but as of now I would like the Vikings to draft Kevin Zeitler, G at 2.03. I think the talk of Hutchinson and/or Herrara being cap casualites has swayed my opinion. Kicking Charles Johnson inside is only a temporary fix. Vikings are only 8-10 M under the cap. Signing a player like Nicks could wipe out most of their cap space.
Dan Wiederer from the Star Tribune said yesterday in his Viking chat that there was zero chance they would bring Nicks in, even if they release Hutch. Just not enough money for him. Too bad, but if they draft Kalil that alone would improve the oline enough to turn them into a top 15 unit from a bottom 10 unit.
If the Redskins don't get a free agent QB like Manning or Flynn then I'd expect them to draft Tannehill.
If they get anyone, it'll most likely be a second tier guy like Meachem or Garcon is my guess.
