Not drafting a Center

It seems the buzz is about Ryan Cook moving in to C. Drafted as Birk's eventual backup, that plan looks to come to fruition. RT was not his natural spot, and his lack of quickness against rush ends and l.b's was exposed - which should be solved with a move to the middle where his size and experience will help.

Expect nothing in FA or the draft as the Vikes go with Cook and Sullivan, instead using their picks for Tackle and DB.

so being at RT was the cause of all Cook's problems?

i suppose he shouldn't have too many false starts if he's snapping the ball :roll:

and from what i hear, there are nothing but good things to be said about Sullivan

Word is that the vikings are very high on Drew Radovich, the undrafted USC tackle that spent the year injured. If there is any truth to that it could that change whether the vikings reach for a tackle in the first round.

Radovic was solid at SC and a good pickup. Seems like they want to stay 'in house' with the OLine, considering comments on Sullivan and Radovic this offseason. Maybe its a smokescreen. Maybe trading back is the key to pick up an extra 3rd or a 4th?

Instead of Britton with the 1st we might be waiting for Loadholdt with the 2nd or 3rd?

Just a couple hours away!!!!
