Thread: Vikings Draft-Day Chronicles

Does anyone have an up-to-date depth chart? It would go a long way in anaylzing positions of need.

In general I like to use this chart:
1st rounders: Starters
Rounds 2-4: Potential Starters
Rounds 5-7: Depth

A very vague chart indeed.

Luckily, we are young and can address depth with our wealth of late picks. We could also try to trade up and draft successors to Winfield, Sharper, PWill, and Birk. Of course, when we had 4 picks in rounds 2-4, I wanted to trade up to get another starter. I just find late round picks useless, especially when we have so much depth already.

Doesn't it feel great to say that?

I haven't update mine (Need to pull that thread backup) to include Allen and about 3 other FA's but it might be a good place to start.

Try this V.
Again, hasn't been update lately but you should be able to overcome my sloth.

I take back all the pokes I have been taking at you today.
;D

Using that roster, I see chances to improve depth at QB, WR, OL, DL, DB. That's it. We only need 5 picks and we still have 7...

Obviously we need to make a couple of OL picks. If we can get a center to mold with Birk it would be very a very nice addition and we can maybe use an OT with that second round pick to help depth wise when B-Mac gets his suspension handed down.
All in all though ... we look good and we have depth.

Just not sure why everyone is so fired up about drafting a C when we already have one on the roster who has been in the system for over a year.

Sure he didn't play last year because of injury but niether did Chad and it appears the coaching staff figured out how to work with him as he rehabbed to ensure he was ready to go the next year.

Use your picks in the area of need.
Obviously he was on the roster for a reason.
Maybe, just maybe C isn't a position of need this year.


Of course, one could also take that tact with OT and Chase, but that would be even harder to get you guys to agree on than it is to convince you on a guy who can play both C and G allowing us to let Hicks go.

With that roster and having six picks we should go(in no specific order)....

OT- Everyone knows the BMac situation, and Ryan Cook had a decent year last year, but could use some compitition
QB- Someone to battle with BB for the 3rd QB slot, usually 3rd QB spots are not used for vets, but for young QBs
FS- We could use a better backup than Eric Frampton
DT- Kendrick Allen didnt even play last year, we could draft one late to have him battle with Allen for a roster spot

and that leave 2 picks for BPA, could go TE or CB or WR
