What about that FB from WVU? Isn't he supposed to be a beast?

Steve Slaton?

The FB from WVU is Owen Schmitt, Steve Slaton is a junior and is staying for one more year..

No fullbacks are rated high enough to go in the first and second round.
Both Schmitt and Slaton are slated to go in the 3rd round.

I still say we draft these two from WVU:

(thanks BLV)

Kiper has him as the number 1 rated WR for Juniors

And alot of people rank him as number 1 WR regardless of class

I think the kid will be okay

He will make some plays.. And would be a good returner

But nothing too special

You act like he's just a little track star playing wideout. He's been a ridiculous wideout since his Long Beach Poly days. Polished as anyone in the draft...And to think the potential he and Rice together would possess...dear god.

I would love to have him - we'd be crazy not to take him if he's still on the board when our pick rolls around.
But he'll probably be gone by #17.

Calais Campbell, DE, Miami

I am actually trying to find some highlights of him online. Do you know where I can find a highlight video of him?

With the NFL draft approaching, there are plenty of folks on the Internet who are guessing how the first round will shake out on April 26. Here’s a look at who some “experts� think the Vikings will take at No. 17 overall....

Thanks for the read my friend.


Looks like those draft guru's don't have them drafting the OL you want.


(Sorry, couldn't let that slide ;D)

I don't want an OL in the 1st round or the second.

Who will be there for the Vikings at pick #17? Will Minnesota select an offensive player or will they instead choose to fortify their defense?...

DraftInsiders.com – Frank Coyle

A new player appears on the list as Coyle sees offensive tackle Chris Williams going to the Vikings at #17. Coyle says the offensive tackle pool is deep this year and the Vikings could dip into it early.

:P

If by some small miracle Williams gets to 17 then the Vikes would be crazy not to at least entertain the idea of picking him.

I would love to see how his mock went to see who took what that got Williams that far down.
