If we get a ring I won't complain about the vikes for at least the first game of the following season!!

Hershel Walker ring a bell?

I agree, get the ring.

there is no way we will bet Bush. he is going first overall to the packers.
and 32nd is right where i want to be drafting in the first round.

Exactly what I was thinking!
I was at Hershel's only good game. His first one!

if we want a running back i would want to trade up for reggie bush if he enters the draft this year.

Maroney is a great back, but look at the O-line he has at Minnesota.. Probably the best in the nation. If he came to the NFL and had to run behind our feeble line then I don't think he would succeed. It would be much better to draft a back with no talent around them but is still very good. That's what I look for when drafting.

That would be sick to get him! Maroney needs to learn a little more I think though.. Either way it would be sweet to have him play his last season or have us draft him

**DemonicViking** · 09-30-2005, 12:47 AM

We'd have to lose the majority of our games this year to have a shot at him. I for one, don't wanna witness a losing season however, or it may lead to anger management classes.

I think that Leinart and Bush will go 1-2 respectively, but Maroney might be slated for three and we will not be able to pull that off. If we are <god forbid> picking as high as twelve, we should be able to nab a stud offensive lineman and that might not be a bad choice.

I think he will fall down the board alot for a few reasons.. A few would be we probably have the best blocking in the big ten.. So alot of his sucsess is from that.. And he is from a school that is not as known as much..
