A rookie WR would make little to no impact anyway.
Not saying it isn't a need, just don't count on a draft pick being the cure to our offensive woes for next season.

I think they can be an impact if they are used right and given a chance, i.e. see Greg Jennings.....Keyshawn Johnson.....Larry Fitzgerald..... or even dominate....i.e. see Randy Moss.....so I guess you could say I disagree.....

It's never too early to see where we need improvement, or to scout next year's rookies, don't tell me Vikings front office is not paying any heed to the draft at th;s time

The ballboy gave me Childress' checklist for the week:

1. Watch game tape of all the college games and create hierarchical list of potential draft picks.

2. Find personal addresses/contact information of the top draft prospects in the 2007 draft.

3. Watch game film and analyze pros/cons of Seachicken/Vikes game.

4. Prepare for Patriots game.

I guess, based on the rough draft of his to-do list you are absolutely correct.
I'm surprised by this.

One critical omission.

5. Surf PPO for more great coaching and personel advice, just like last week.

I don't get why people don't want to discuss this?

Who cares if it's early? It beats talking about X-boxes and telling jokes..

I'm always interested in where we will wind up in the draft and see how close I am to it from a few months before..

Dwayne Jarret would be a solid pick.. I'd love to take him.. I bet he wouldn't drop so many damn balls!





One Love

I predict that with our first round pick in the 2029 NFL draft the Vikings will pick up...

OL Webby JR!

I feel we need to draft a WR, so I'd be fine with that pick.. Chester Taylor seems to be coming around.

They got it TOTALLY wrong!

We end up with Zach Miller...don't know CRAP about him, but if he is the 32nd pick, then that's who we get!!!
;D

LOL.
I like Caj's prediction best.

I don't think we will have the 15th pick in the draft next year and so to speculate that we would be taking him is pretty hard at this point since the top players from the time that the college season ends to draft day changes a lot!

last year Ernie Sims was originally projected as the Viking's pick in the 2nd round, but he had a great combine and goes 6th to Detroit.
Maroney was projected in the top 10 last year while the college season was still going and he dropped to the Pats at around the 25th pick and some people had him sliding to the 1st part of the 2nd round.

There are to many variables at this point to have any kind of accuracy as to who and to whom any player is going to go!
Bush was the number 1 pick all of last year, and then Young was the number one pick for a week, and then it was Bush again, and it was Mario by a nose (or wallet)!

To me WR's almost always (quality ones) take around 2-3 maybe even 4 years to fully develope.I think our number 1 WR next year should come via Free Agency IMO.

Next year is a HORRIBLE year for Free Agency.

Drew Bennett is the best available WR.

If people don't want to discuss this... STAY OUT OF THE THREAD!


That being said, I always enjoy draft talk!

Dear God in Heaven, man!
Dwayne Jarrett won't be around for the 32nd pick!
