hopefully his athleticism if for real. Not like they reached, he was top 10 for the longest time. Just not the flashy choice.

Stock only fell as the mock drafts kept coming out. But I Trust Zimmer can make him a decent player

Pretty much what it comes down to. Zimmer definitely got the best out of his guys in Dallas & Cinci so his track record speaks for itself. Hope Barr stays healthy.

Supposedly Zimmer liked a comparison of Barr to Von Miller in the presser. So, I'm keeping an open mind. Gotta move back in for a QB though. Gotta.

We need to move in front of CLE to get our QB. Just hope we don't like Carr.

I'm liking the Barr pick more and more, I was hoping we'd end with him months ago.

i think this is probably right, might end up being a race to the first pick of round two

lot of people seem to like the manziel to the browns

That would be great, if the Vikings then grabbed Teddy with one of the last firsts.

Either we get Teddy or I'm very upset. Or Dennard. I'm extremely upset with the Barr pick. Maybe I am to high on Manziel or any other defender besides Barr.

According to Jay Glazer, the Vikes were going to trade up with the Eagles, but the Browns came in and had a better offer.

Sucks if JF turns out to be legit.

I still believe Bridgewater will be gone before our pick at 40. We need to trade up.

Seriously it would of made more sense to grab Manziel when we had the chance. Bridgewater to Cardinals most likely, I'm going to cry. Manziel would have helped our team so much more than Barr. I could be wrong, but only time will tell... Manziel should be a vikings or Teddy B

Should be interesting to see. They've failed so many times to select the right QB all these years.

how likely is it that the cards go qb? if they don't nobody else in the first needs one

I dont expect that they pick a QB. They need a WR and a safety probably more.

Return to Minnesota Vikings
