Vikings fans...

I was listening to P.A. on 9-noon this morning when it broke. He reached out to someone in the know with the Vikings and the response was two words: Fake news.
I think a bigger concern than the OBJ ego would be how he would impact the cap. They barely have enough left to sign their rookies. Seems like a non-starter.
What is everyone's hopes for Round 1 on Thursday for the Vikings?
My dream Round 1 is a Top tackle at 22 and then trade to a late round 1 or 1st couple round 2 slot while picking up another 2nd round pick. With the late 1st, I'd love to see a CB taken.
This draft is so deep at WR. I really don't want to take a 1st rounder unless Juedy and Lamb are there at 22 or Jefferson is available at 25

Very nice first round by the Vikes. They got the receiver they wanted and had their pick of CBs with Fulton, Diggs, Johnson, and Gladney all still on the board. Gladney's speed probably gave him the edge.
With two extra picked up tonight, maybe Trader Rick can group some picks and get the Williams trade done with the Redskins.

I'd be fine with Williams, but I'd be happy if they moved up a little in the 2nd and picked one of the top tackles remaining.
They absolutely need to spend their next pick on an OT/OG. Maybe the rest of their picks on those positions. I’m joking but only kind of. The need there is so glaring.
What could they realistically expect to get in return for their 89 and 105 picks? If they could hang on to 58 and get another 2nd round pick for giving those two up I’d be okay with that.
I was pretty excited with the picks last night. Other than not getting O-Line help, they got 2 very solid players that should start day 1. I was hoping Jefferson would be there, but didn't think he would. I was sure Philly would snatch him up.
I was happy they didn't reach just to fill a need. Would love to see them get Williams if they can get him for 1-2 Day 3 picks - especially if they can use the picks they got in the trade from SF. Also wouldn't mind them trading up in 2nd Round to get one of the tackles left. However they do it, really need to get someone who can start week 1. If they accomplish that, this would be a very successful first 2 days!
Skol!

Yeah, if they could walk out of today with a potential starter on the oline and some help for the dline, I'll be ecstatic.
If we don't trade for Williams, I think the biggest need is still guard. Reiff can be serviceable, but guard position is lacking.
I'm hoping the Vikes can trade Reiff and a 6th rounder for Williams.
Take Blacklock in the 2nd, Weaver and Hall or Pride in the 3rd.

I wouldn't balk at that. If you can get Williams for their last 3rd round pick, I think you do it. They'd still have 2 other picks today to address other needs, but it would immediately make the line better.
I thought Reiff was horrid last season. I’d like to see them go O line at 58, then use their next two picks to move up for O line again.
