Where it is real F ing COLD
I think the Vikes screwed the pooch. They were limited with picks and traded a fourth to move up 5 picks to draft a safety. Kiper gave him good reviews, played at Arkie St. never seen him. Could of stayed pat or drafted another position. Well maybe have a replacement for sharper:shrug:

His first rounders are not that good but later rounds are awesome. They just think this kid was a reach.

i don't know about that...they took the linebacker from ohio st.(name escapes me) last year who is going to be a very good player...& didn't they take a wide receiver the year before last (jennings ?) who is a quality player....

Jennings was a great pick. I think a 3rd rounder.

"the bunker"
the ravens are notoriously cheap....they reached for flacco,so they` traded down a few times to save some bread....

ozzie got credit drafting big name guys when the team sucked,but,recently,they`ve been mediocre to poor....

they`ll have a ton of 3rd and 4th rounders,but,they`ve been missing on many of these middle round picks the last few years...

no longer a top drawer organization,imo...,,,

I agree.

I think Minny will be well beyond a pretty tough D though...I am thinkin a SICK D.

I hope so but I have my doubts. They haven't had great pass D in years. Allen helps but they have some ifs. Darrin Sharper is the most overrated safety in football, makes the pro bowl for name only. He gets burned often.. I would not shed a tear to see him leave. Chad Greenway showed signs of potential but was often lost. He needs to progress in his second year as starter. Lieber is just an ordinary linebacker. Corners were young except Winfield. Winfield great tackler but average cover corner.

Main thing was getting the defensive end to pressure the QB and give blitzing linebackers an open alley. Also they won't have to blitz as much. Dwight Smith was a joke at safety last year getting rid of him and adding Nedeiu Williams should be great.

No worries.

Sweed is coming off an injury. He has great size & some good hands.

This would just put the icing on the cake for me today if Dallas gets him @ pick 61.

2nd option: Early Doucet

Oh well there goes Sweed to Pittsburgh.

I think they just got another steal.

Great draft for KC & Pitt & Dallas (pending this next pick)
