Don't be surprised if the Vikes take Taylor Mays, then try to trade up in the 2nd again for Colt McCoy.

I wouldn't mind McCoy

don't tease me like that! If that happens... EPIC WIN!

They took Chris Cook at #34... not a bad alternative to Mays... only Cook will likely remain at corner since he's not as strong of a tackler.

Vikings trade their 2nd and their 3rd to Houston to move up 11 spots in the 2nd round and take Toby Gerhart RB from Stanford. Looks like we found Chester's replacement.

from what I heard the other day, Toby should have gone in the first round.

Still up in the air on whether I am overall happy with how they got Gerhart... I like that we got him, but it's tough to take giving up a 3rd rounder to do it.

no QB... fuck i hope there is some gem later on in the 4th we can snag, i mean McCoy having a year under Favre would be awesome for us.

oh well only 2 months till i get disapointed by us not picking Nino or Bjugstad

We have the 2nd pick in the 4th, so it would be early on in the 4th. Isn't Dan LeFevour the next ranked QB? Might have been Tony Pike, either way, both are big and both have strong arms, and the Vikes still have the chance at either.

I think we goofed by not taking Colt McCoy with our first and second pick. The ESPN crew said we passed on Clausen and McCoy out of respect to Favre...seriously?? We'll have Favre for one more season, two at most. Favre could have groomed him. Sage and Jackson are not franchise QB's. McCoy is going to be a great quarterback in the NFL. 45 wins with the Texas Longhorns is an NCAA RECORD!! McCoy also completed 70.3% of his passes, throwing for 112 touchdowns and 13,253 yards, both Texas Longhorn records. He's got a great head and Cleveland is lucky to land him. All the mock drafts had him or Clausen coming to Minny with the first pick. Then we passed on him a second time! When Favre retires we are toast.

I think they're full of it when they say "out of respect for Favre"

From what I've heard tonight, the Vikes did not like Clausen at all, and don't have much confidence in McCoy. You don't draft a QB for the future if you don't think that QB fits your future.

I don't necessarily agree, but the front office has been money on draft day since Spielman got here... so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

I won't argue the need for Gerhart, as Chester was a big hole to fill for THIS YEAR... so I have no complaints getting him instead of McCoy anyway.

We do need to draft a QB still...

Jevon Snead southern QB who has decent upside maybe we take him,

tony pike?

Vikes on the clock lets hope is a QB

cmon tony pike

who the fuck is joe webb??

joe webb qb uab

pike gone to panthers

still hoping for snead

Joe Web is actually going to be converted to a WR in the NFL, so we still haven't picked a QB prospect yet.

I don't think there was a scouting report out there that said he'd be an NFL QB, everything I had ever read on the guy said a WR convert. He even went through the combine as a WR and played WR in the senior bowl.
