Carson Palmer is looking better each game so I expect him to go ham against our crap secondary. JA needs to get him down every drive before he releases the football.

Something we do know is that we will have a great combo in Ponder & Justin Blackmon. Get a OL or DB in the 2nd round.

Edit: I wouldn't be opposed to getting a OL with our first

This is how I think the Vikings should approach draft.

1st round: OT
-- Not quite the "sexy pick" people want to see but this is the biggest need on this team right now. We need to make things easier on Peterson and Ponder. Even though WR is a need and as much as I would love to see Blackmon as a Viking, I just don't see how we can take him when our QB gets no time to throw. An OT will help in the passing game and the running game while a WR would only help in the passing for the most part.

2nd round: CB
-- Who knows what's going to happen with Chris Cook and his legal case. Cedric Griffen isn't the player he once was and has struggled a lot this season. The health of Antoine Winfield is also a major concern. Our division is also filled with some pretty good QB's/WR's that look to be pretty good for a long time.

3rd round: WR/DB/OL (BPA)

We should take an OT if an elite one is available, but I don't think you can go wrong with Blackmon either. Ponder can create time for himself to some extent and there other ways to improve the O-line.

I'd also consider trading down. We've got the top end players already, but we have a ton of holes to fill.

the team usually does well drafting in the 1st round, let's hope they can get it right.

however, i say draft offensive line before anything.
OKC Thunder fan, too.
