Thanks for the read my friend.........

Thought there would be a bit more, however, I did find this one interesting.....

Q You have ties to the Vikings. Do you have any thoughts on what they might do or what they should do in the first round?

A I think they have a tremendous personnel department. Whatever the case is, they'll take a good player. It's going to depend on what position they consider most important. Whether it's offensive tackle, quarterback -- maybe at [pick No.] 12 you don't have a quarterback that you have rated that high. But if you do, I think they pull the trigger. But there are a lot of different ways they can go with that pick.

Differs from what a few on here seem to think.

In what way? He says if you have a player rated that high, take him. If not, don't. He never said anything like "there are no qb's worthy of being a #12 pick", It's all about the teams percieved value they put on the player.


When making a board, they should be looking at who are the best players. They should be also looking at what they need as a team, and factoring in how some positions will be taken higher than they otherwise should be, just because that's how teams draft.

If you value Locker or Mallet in the 25-30 range for best players in the draft, they likely won't be around at 25-30.

Factoring in that they're a QB, and will jump off the board earlier than you might expect, I'd expect to have them around 15 on your draft board.
