@LV-FrontRow You will have the first pick for your beloved Raiders tonight. You have some players in mind?  Btw, what did you guys do to Karl Joseph? He was one of those pre-draft players that I wanted the Vikings to draft. 

 

Seems I have some positions in mind lol. 

 

Karl Joseph played decent at times. He was let a go a few years ago went to the Browns then came back to the Raiders last year only to not make the final cut. He Just signed a 1 year deal with the Steelers after being on their practice squad last year.

Nice pick! Good value with a 6'4 receiver with jumping ability here!

[NFLfan]

@VikingsFanInChennai The Vikings need to alter their strategy. We draft way too many CBs in the first and second rounds.

With the 79th pick in the draft, the Chargers select

Everyone has CB as a need for you. Whenever I look at a Mock Draft, they have the Vikings taking Stingley at 12.

True. Our SB Nation site selected McDuffie after Stingley went to the Commanders.

[NFLfan]

@Clem-Dog is next for the Giants but he is not on the clock for another 20 minutes.

 

You folks are fast! Maybe we can get the whole 3rd round done in 3 hours.

Yeah, that's when I would hope your GM in real life would probably pivot from the CB position in round 1 in that scenario and take another position. Generally fans of a team have a more need-first approach to the draft than the actual scouts and GM. We'll see what you do though. I'm guessing Stingley will be there at 12.

[NFLfan]

Any of you like Carson Strong? 

 

For a while, I thought "Carson Strong" was the name given to Wentz by his fans. Then I realized there is an actual QB called Carson Strong.

I would be willing to take him in the 3rd round, but that's the earliest tbh. I'm lower on him than Ridder and Howell.

One QB went pretty high. @danlhart87 selected him for the Titans. It was neither of those two. 

[NFLfan]

@Clem-Dog never misses his pick. He is on the clock for 8 more minutes. Then it will be @PureLuck.

[NFLfan]

Will you all be following the real draft on this site or elsewhere?

 

The Forum always has good discussions on draft day. My first year here, I joined the chat. The draft seemed to evoke the strongest feelings on this forum is the 2015 one.  That is when the WR out of Miami was drafted at 29, Dorsett.

I'll be following it on here and also watching it on TV. Normally I watch NFL Network every year.

[NFLfan]

Two more minutes before @PureLuck is on the clock for the Falcons. 

[NFLfan]

@PureLuck You are on the clock.  @Clem-Dog, you can make your pick whenever you are ready.

Fun pick here. I was saving him as a super sleeper later on. Hoping the Colts go for him in the round 4/early round 5 pick range when the draft comes next week.

[runthepost]

Alright alright

[Kangaroo]

Jags looking to trade up--all remaining picks available

I'm hoping he falls that far as well, but I doubt it. Late day 2, early day 3 is where he should go IMO, he's the prototypical slot - a more athletic Hunter Renfrow, could definitely see him being a Ballard guy

We will have to make an announcement well ahead of time. I remember a fan who was on Twitter in 2015 who told me that the Vikings had drafted Eric Kendricks before the guy before Kendricks had been announced. LOL. 

[csmopar]

Last year, I was holding my breath praying they’d get Paye. Somehow, they did! 
 

 

this year, I honestly don’t see that “have to have” guy that could transform this team. I just don’t like this class

Never heard of that guy, probably have to go back and watch some more tape - people come up with the strangest names these days ;)

Eagles with the 83rd pick select  David Bell WR from Purdue

It's less obvious we will get a guy who will contribute immediately because our first pick is at 42 instead of 21. We may go with a Watson or Pickens, but we also may go after someone like a Ridder, Howell, or a OT that's not a guarantee to start immediately. I truly believe we are more at the mercy of other teams and whatever Ballards board is this year for BPA.

Bell was already taken by the Bears.

Agreed, much more depth, but very few "must have" guys this year, but the draft is very deep at our positions of need (WR, TE (not top heavy, but very deep), OT) - if we get any offers, I could see a trade down once again in round 2 - if we do not like one of the reachable QBs... I still think trying to get Ridder would be very smart - even if we have to trade up to the very end of round one to secure the option

[NFLfan]

@Zoltan is on the clock but you can make your pick @runthepost when ready.

[coltsfanej]

Looks like you guys are chugging right along. Some nice picks. Just got home from work. 

[NFLfan]

Reminder: The Big Board in on the First Page. I am updating it, as you make your selections.
