Vikings Post Round One Draft for Now and the Future

Okay, it's Friday, and many Vikings fans sat up last night only to hear the 30th pick was traded to, of all teams, a division rival.

Being that I am just an armchair wannabe football executive, let's look at today and tomorrow, and what the Vikings could very well do to help situations immediate and future.

I know, this looks like hindsight is 20/20, or Monday morning QB, but just go with me here. 

In fairness to myself, trying to pick picks is like trying to shoot a quarter in a dark room. Yet we soldier on and further inflict even more stress on ourselves. So, here goes, revision of the Vikings draft, although there are some overlaps of an earlier article of mine.

Okay, enough said, let’s do this. Here is another stab at a revised draft post first round. (What a cheater, how do I sleep at night?)

If the order holds

34: Trade down to anywhere from 38 (Cleve), 39 (Oak), or 41 (Bills), or at worst 48 (Panthers.) Most likely the team that trades gets Clausen.

Believe it or not, the Vikings are in a great position here at 34.

Let’s say they trade down to 41: Vikings get pick 107 and 209: Colt McCoy, QB

Second round: (62): Lamar Houston, DT, Texas

Third round: (93): Mike Johnson, G, Alabama

Fourth round: (100): Pat Angerer, LB, Iowa

Fourth round: (107 from Bills): Major Wright, S, Florida

Fifth round: Trade 161 and 167 to move up to 153: Eric Olsen, G, Notre Dame

Sixth round: (199): Brian Jackson, CB, Oklahoma

Seventh round: (209 from Bills): Kyle Bosworth, LB, UCLA

Seventh round: (214): Blair White, WR, Mich. St.

Seventh round: (237): A kicker here, or another DB.

Of course my chances of this even being remotely close are about as good as winning Powerball, maybe.

Good luck tonight and tomorrow Vikes and Vikings fans.
