classB4ever wrote:Well, the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings enter the upcoming draft on completely different ends of the spectrum. The experts say the Pack literally have no holes to fill (I say they could use a running back) and the Vikes could use help at perhaps every spot short of running back and punter.
What are the strategies and who are some of the players these teams will be coming away with in the upcoming draft?
Might as well throw in personal opinions on the collective bargaining situation and who does everyone side with: Players vs. Owners.

Another good QB option would be the Nevada QB. He has a cannon and pretty good accuracy.

I thought they would trade i think they are after a Veteran QB

I haven't seen anything to confirm this yet though.

I was just throwing out a prediction. I don't think the guys they have been looking at will be there at 12, so a trade is very possible.

I guess I didn't understand it with fairley still there and as old as their interior lineman are getting that made sense to me when he fell that far. I think they could have gotten ponder in the second round somewhere even if they had to trade up to do it.

Im gonna ramble a bit here...
I dont think Ponder will be a complete dud. I dont think he will be all that great but he should do a decent job. If he struggles and doesnt pan out peoeple will say hes a dud because of how high he went, personally i think he would have been a good 3rd round pick, but he probably would have been taken off the board sometime mid to late 2nd round just because there are a lot of teams looking for qb. The reason everyone thinks T-Jack is a bust is because the Vikings traded up so high to get him in the second round, had he gone late 3rd round-mid 4th round, no one would have expected him to be that good and when he turned out to be nothing no one would have thought twice about it. Also i thought they might go with Solder out of Colorado or Costanzo out of BC, young QB doesnt do much good when hes going to get hit constantly and McKinnie isnt good. Anyways...who is your sleeper pick Kappernick, or Dalton?

I was hoping that they would have taken Costanzo from BC with their first round pick...and Kappernick (sp?) is my sleeper...I wanted him as a Viking!
