Do you think McKinnon won't be able to transition as a 3rd down specialist Running back/Wildcat specialist?

I'm surprised he is the "worst pick", unless you think he was the worst of the good picks the Vikings made.

I think he was the least good pick. It was far from a horrible pick. I think the 3rd was a little high for him and there were better backs on the board, but he certainly has a chance to help Minnesota. They had a nice little draft.

Totally agree with the Steeler grade! 8-)

But seriously, agree with your best and worst as well.

Some interesting items, even though it's still preseason, but some of your "worst" picks are actually fairing pretty well like the McKinnon kid in Minny, Garoppolo in NE, and John Brown in AZ.

Overall, though agree with most of the grades. Good job!

John Brown I appear to have wiffed badly on. He looks like a dynamo. With Garoppolo and McKinnon, it was more about fit and need, than talent.

Bradford, unless I'm mistaken didn't make the grade for the 53... Meanwhile Linsley looks like a legit starting C. His run blocking has been exceptional although his pass blocking still needs some work, 6 hurries (although that is expected from a rook regardless of draft status). He's had a couple bogus calls against him (see davante.adams td called back against bears (?). Clear pancake called a hold.

Edit:Bradford is on 53.

LOL

He has been very good. It's not that I didn't like him as a player, just that the 2nd seemed early for him. He is certainly playing up to his draft spot though. I may have missed the boat on that one.
