The Numbers Behind the draft ....

I found this and thought it was somewhat interesting. Do with it what you will, but remember to take it with a grain of salt.

The following shows who NFL draft enthusiasts think the Minnesota Vikings are going to get with their first 3 draft picks . Players are shown with the number of mock drafts that had this player going to the Vikings, and the % of the time that this player was selected to go to the Vikings. The bottom table gives a list of positions that the Minnesota Vikings are most likely targeting with their first 3 picks of the draft:

Good read...I liked what Pat Kirwan from NFL.com said our 1st 3 picks should be

#17 - Chad Greenway OLB Iowa
#48 - Anthony Fasano TE ND
#51 - Brodie Croyle QB Alabama

Not bad...but I beg to differ! IF DeAngelo is still on the board when we pick at #17, we gotta take him!!!

If Sims and Greenway are still on the board?

Pretty cool. I don't think the Vikes will take Sims though. I've heard he has some character issues and Childress and Wilf want nothing to do with that. I think I like Brodie Croyle 2nd though

Sims. Mobility for the "T-2" defense ... IMO.

I wouldn't mind if they didn't take Sims either. I still think Greenway is a better linebacker. Sims had a good combine workout and everyone started drooling over him. I want a player that had a great season of football on the field, not a good couple of days at the combine.

Do you need to consult your alternate personality before you come up with your "Final Answer" ? :lol:

Welcome to the boards, make sure to introduce yourself in the free beer section ... But look out for Ultar ... He likes'em young and uses alcohol to his advantage.

It's the "En Vogue" postion in the NFL now, didn't you know. I feel Jimmy is going to have a HUGE year and Wiggy will fall off, but I agree, we really dont need one.
