I know that the NFL draft is tomorrow and I didn’t really break it down like I did last year. Well, I guess that’s because second round projections aren’t that interesting. Here are my two scenarios: 1) Vikings trade down to the late second or early third round to get an additional […]

This year the Minnesota Vikings will have the 17th overall selection in the NFL Draft.  Midway through last season it looked like we were a lock to land a top 5 pick.  Then Adrian Peterson realized that he was one of the 3 most explosive, game-changing players in the league and all hell broke loose.  The […]

Entering this year’s off season the Vikings needed to fill major holes at DE. A total lack of the pass rush last year and unexpected health complications have left the Vikings scrambling. Last week the Vikings addressed needs in pass coverage and at WR by adding a deep threat in Bernard. […]

I know its early, but I was surfing the net trying to get a feel for what is out there for draft picks. While doing so, I stumbled upon some video of Cal wideout/punt returner Desean Jackson.

The Vikings have an interesting situation at the safety position.  We have two veteran starters who underachieved last year (Sharp and D-Smith) , an in-the-box-type presence coming off a season ending knee injury (Tank), and a young kid who showed a lot of upside last year (Greg Blizzle).  Unfortunately, in 2 or 3 years (the next time Childress […]

Having just missed out on signing Patrick Kerney from Atlanta, the Vikings still need to address their pass rush.  Jamaal Anderson would be a great way to do so.
Jamaal is listed currently as #4 on Mel Kiper’s big board, making him the best DE available and probably not available to the Vikings at #7.  However, […]

With the #7 Pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, the Vikings are in a spot to take a blue chip player like Gaines Adams:

02/27/07 - NFL COMBINE: Risers: Of all the defensive linemen who took to the field Monday morning, Adams stole the show. Running both 40s in the low 4.7-second range, Adams displayed […]

The latest ESPN mock draft has the Minnesota Vikings selecting Ted Ginn Jr. from Ohio State with the 7th overall pick in the 2007 NFL draft.  If this projection is true, here is what we will be getting:
Ginn is an early entry this year.  He is 21 years old and is ranked by Mel Kiper […]
