What will the Vikings need one or two years from now? Expecting rookies to step in and play at 100% of their future potential is not realistic.

The Vikings need to BPA through the draft and set themselves up for the future. It could be a goldmine draft.

Minni, who do you like today? Do you have a specific target or position you looking at? I agree if we play the cards right this could be a excellent draft. I hope they don't blow it SKOL!

Don't really know. I've been away from everything because of health issues. I will miss the draft tonight live. The only sports I have watched or looked at in the last month have been the Wild post games on Youtube, a few Timberwolves overviews, and a bit of Twins. Nothing more than 10 minutes at a time.

Perhaps, I'll look at the draft afterward and chime in, so people don't accuse me of not speaking up. In any case, the Vikings need to target players high on their draft board that they believe are the best value and the BPA. Having eight picks in the 3rd and 4th round could solidify the Vikings for years to come if they don't start reaching for needs this season instead of the best roster for future seasons.

Logic is the beginning of wisdom - not the end.

I agree with this as long as one or more of the picks is interior OL. (btw: we traded one of our 4ths to the Jets, we have seven picks remaining in rounds 3 and 4)

So I would assume a developmental QB with a ceiling (Mond, Mills, pick your poison), would fit here?

Some say I'm too laid back. Really, I'm just too lazy to argue with them.

Thought this was more like a wish list? I hope we find an explosive book end for Hunter. Is that better? That's what we need or at least I want.

Interior linemen are a long term need.

And yeah, seven picks.
