Yeah, I wonder where the mods are?? It won't be long until all those deleted users will be deleted again.

That's why they should trade for Donnie Edwards and then draft DeAngelo Williams at #17 (OR one of the TOP OL)...then take D'Qwell in the second round and then Whitehurst, Jacobs, Clemons or Croyle in the second or third (depending which draft choice they have to spend for Edwards and who is still on the board when they pick.

I know there won't be a lot of people agreeing with me, but I just feel nervous until we get a QB that we can build a franchise around. So far we just have a bunch of decent fill-ins.

I agree. and I don't mean matt shaub

And I suppose you guys think that you are enlightening the Vikings' coaching staff regarding the QB issue. I sure hope they read this thread so they know that the long-term solution to QB isn't resolved yet.

If Schaub doesn't work out then that's exactly what I'd like to see Cajun.

They have been gone for awhile now. None of us were online at the time when the 10 of them came in a posted the hell outta the site. I canned all the threads they started.

Ignore them now, do not give their drivel any satisfaction.

To me it just sounds like pre-draft speak. But if they truly do feel they are set at all positions and can just draft the best player on the board; there are some real good players available in this draft that we will have a shot at.
I just have a hard time convincing myself that they are set at linebacker.
But maybe that's part of their smoke screen.
At any rate; I think this makes it more exciting considering the best player available instead of specific needs.
Historically most coaches believe that taking the best player available in the draft is a more successful approach than reaching for a specific need.

I think that if the vikes think we have so much depth then we should move up and try to get a more impactful player. like vince young.
