I love this article, it helps us get a better feel for who we drafted. Obviously we wont know too much about our draftees until they start playing, but on the surface i've very pleased with who we drafted at every pick.

AD - obviously best playmaker in the draft, now he's wearing PURPLE!!!

Rice - Top 15 pick next year, but he's young and has a lot of work to do.

McCauley - had a superb junior season, slacked a bit his senior year due to injury, but i feel with his size and speed he'll have a chance to play a lot of Nickel

Robison - blocked SIX KICKS!! he's got a 40 in verticle, he's quick and gonna have a chance to play right away.

Allison - any player that stock has dropped due to injury, but he's definitely first day talent with that speed.

Alexander - I LOVE THIS PICK. Led the Sooners in tackles the past two seasons, and also was big 12 defensive player of the year TWICE. IMO we added a playmaker on special teams, and great depth at LBer in the sixth round... that doesn't happen often

the others are a reach to make the team, but each have a good chance. Tyler Thigpen could easily beat out Henson, and our WR core is in such limbo that anyone could make that squad

What makes a kid from utah a fan of the vikings?

He liked watching Steve Young torch the Vikings so naturally the Vikes became his second favorite team.

Either that or because the Jazz wear purple too.

I like Robison and Rufus a little more each day. Robison tests out to be crazy athletic, hopefully some of that explosiveness translates to getting to the QB. Rufus is a tad undersized, but 6'0" 230 isn't exactly a cream puff. His 4.8 40 at the combine probably dropped him down a bit for some, but he ran a 4.6 at his pro day. He seems like a great fit as a WLB in the Tampa 2.

I'm feeling the same way about them too.

I've been a long time Vikings fan. I've got a friend here that his family is from Minnesota so him and i have got NFL sunday ticket every since it's been out. I think it goes back to the Warren Moon days. When i was a kid Warren Moon and his family lived very close to me.

But yeah GO JAZZ!!!!

I need all your support for tonights game, and more importantly game seven. Then we'll have homecourt against Golden State, and then we'll play the Suns in the western conference finals, and we swept the season series against them. SO the way i see it Jazz are going to be the NBA Finals Champs!!!

A man can dream cant he?
