Thread: Dallas sportswriter gives Vikes "C" for Draft (!?)

If you take Allen out of the equation, our draft does look pretty poohie w/ the exception of Tyrell Johnson.
Not a fan of Booty, unless I am slapping it from behind.

I like our UDFAs better than our picks.

Smack dat...on the floor...smack dat....give me some more... LOL

Seriously ... when you take into account the Allen trade then there is no grade lower than a B+ you can give us ... and that is only if you want to harp on the lack of an OT.
The fact that we in essence got Allen, Johnson, Booty, Sullivan, Guion and Johnson looks pretty good on paper. And hell, Allen is more of a proven commodity than ANY of the players taken in the first round of this draft. Maybe I am a homer, but I do not think I would trade him for a single one of the other players taken in the first round (maybe Chris Long because I am from Charlottesville, but again, being a homer there.)
Even if you do not take into account the Allen trade ... we did a pretty good job with the picks that we had and made moves to get players that most had ranked much higher on their boards than the spot where we got them.
I am very happy with this draft ... and will be very happy when this writer can eat some crow.

What grade does the Examiner give us?

Hmmm ... I am not sure ... but they only care about the Deadskins anyways. I will ask our beat writer the next time I get a chance, but that could be a while because he is on hiatus. The easy life of a beat writer.

floop the Dallass sportswriters!!!
I lived there in the three years before the Cowboys' Super Bowl run in the early 90s (1-15, 7-9 and the Barry Sanders' annihilation of them in the playoffs years), and all that everyone there could do was whine and cry all day on the radio about how the Cowboys sucked.

BTW, what part of Dallass do you live in?
I was in both Mesquite and Plano when I lived there.
My wife's family is mostly up in the Lake Dallas area nowadays (after having moved down from Minnesota).

Some other members who live in that area are: V, 6-KINGS, Potus...and I'm probably missing a few more that are there as well.

I live in Burleson- technically- (must south of Ft. Worth), although I currently am going to school at the University of North Texas in Denton, so really Denton.

What writer was it? If it was Callishaw, I'd be disappointed, I usually love his stuff, and especially on Around the Horn. I actaully like most of the Dallas writes.. Except for the fact that they give the Stars no love! All it is is Mavs and Cowturd talk. The local ESPN station never talks about them..

That area covers BOTH Burleson AND Denton.
BTW, my in-laws live in Lake Dallas, just down the road from your school.

Dallas is threatened by the Vikings because they already can't win in the playoffs.
