Billy Turner is the guy to watch for.

Guard, safety, cornerback and maybe linebacker are the biggest needs.

has an NDSU player even been drafted before?

awww, I liked both Turner and Charles Sims. But, defense is needed more anyway.

Why did we pick a DE?

No idea, I mean we need some depth, but 3rd round...really? I read on the guy, seems like a solid rotation player.

value pick

In the end, in Zimmer I trust!

never heard of him but there you go, zimmer has a grand plan i'm sure

I'm actually okay with this pick. Robison is getting older, he probably should have some of his snaps reduced.

Devilzsidewalk · Post #194 » by **Devilzsidewalk** » Sat May 10, 2014 2:16 am

maybe the Vikings see something in Vlad Ducasse and don't view guard as a big need

I read an article and Robinson was who he was compared to. Also, I have read that Barr could definitely play some DE. Can't wait to see how our defense and offense looks. Should be exciting.

I'm ok with loading up on pass rushers but the scouting report doesn't sound great.

I'd go so far as to say Robison's stats last year were misleading and was surprised they were so eager to re-sign him. He didn't get any pressure at all until the Vikings were out of the playoff race.

I read a few, i liked this one:

I get the impression that he's strong and tries hard, but needs coaching to improve his techniques.

Apparently Mayock was saying when the Cowboys traded up in the second round, that Crichton would have been a good pick. He was a projected second rounder. Not very athletic but a hard worker and good technique. Also, good run support, which Zimmers defense has been known for.

I wonder what Zimmer thinks about Brock Vereen...
