Not a fan of the pick, hopefully him and Scott Chricton can see the field this year. Projects, projects, projects.

i'm betting hunter won't see the field much, might have too much developing to do - only way would probably be special teams

thought i saw somewhere he'd be like how everson griffin started

I'd like a WR to be picked at some point to help Teddy. I mean, you've addressed the defense, so now you can get your QB some weapons (i'm kind of disappointed that DGB didn't fall to us).

TJ Clemmings OT, projected to go a lot higher.

I guess he is a little raw, and has/had a stress fracture is his foot. Regardless, very athletic and has the potential to start. Wonder if we move him to guard.

Vikings grabbed Pruitt and Diggs. They are killing the draft! Both players could have an impact this season, especially Diggs. Pruitt is raw in technique but has great potential and has shown the ability to make tough catches. He also ran a 4.58 forty.

no running backs at all, wonder if that was done as a sign of commitment to adrian?

And I thought they were bluffing the whole time.
Kendrick's could play middle or weak side. I would like to see Kendrick's, Cole, Barr.
Don't know much about the late round guys, but Diggs and Pruitt should see playing time this season. As much as I like Sherels, I think he is gone this year.
Hopefully Clemmings foot checks out okay and Kalil has some competition. Still worried about guard, but I think it was a good draft overall.
Still a little skeptical about Waynes. But I trust Zimmer and I expect Trae to struggle as any rookie would.

I like what the Vikings did, definitely not as excited as I was about last year's draft, but they were able to fill 2 of their biggest needs in the first two rounds this year, both could be immediate upgrades, I'm surprised that Kendricks was still available. Don't know much of anything about who they picked after that but people seem to think that Clemmings and Hunter have some upside.

Agreed, Kendrick's by far was my favorite pick. Looks like there will be a lot of competition this year, at every position. Can't wait to see the improved offense and defense.

The first two rounds seem solid, and should immediately improve our defense.
Clemmings, Diggs, and Pruitt have a chance to contribute pretty quickly. Hunter will probably take a season or two of development, but he's young and explosive.
There's no Teddy Bridgewater type pick though that I'm super excited about.

With Adrian coming back, there probably aren't many carries left for a rookie. The McKinnon Asiata combo is still around if needed.

Snagging Anthony Harris as a UDFA is epic. I'm a big fan of this draft. Especially if they can get an interior lineman to start at G out of the lineman they drafted.

This was an A- draft for the purple. I'm not sure how any fan isn't ecstatic about the moves made.
