Who do you want the Vikings to draft in round 2?
As it stands we don't pick again until day 3 I think.
But if our GM finesses his was back into the 2nd round, at this point, whoever he takes I'm good with. In Kwesi I trust.
But if he came back in and got JPJ or Zach Frazier 👀👀👀 that would be spicy.
Hell I'd love Jerzhan Newton or a corner. If he can get into the right spot to grab Newton or Kool-Aid or OMG Cooper DeJean. I think if personally fly out to MN and build him a statue with my bare hands.

I am surprised Newton, Dejean and kool aid didn't go in the first.

Yeah me too, but you look at who was drafted and for the most part (looking at you falcons) each pick has made sense. Who would you take out of the first to get them in?
reply
I was surprised Nix went in the first. Also surprised the 49ers took Pearsall in the first. Legette over Mitchell in the first was surprising. Guyton instead of JPJ, even though NFL values tackles a lot more. I didn't think Robinson would go before Newton but again it's a case of NFL valuing edge over DT.
reply
Yeah, it's a passer and get the passer league and even though newton is a destructive force of interior pressure, the NFL just had their eyes set on edge.
Leggett was a homer pick I think, a crowd pleaser. Fans love a home town guy.
I also don't think Nix was a 1st round guy. But there'd always been rumblings that Sean Payton liked him. So although it's a reach, if you're reaching for your guy who's going to be your guy for the foreseeable future, then no one's going to mind the reach if he brings results.
Pearsall was a luxury pick, sure there's quite a few other needs for the 9ers but that one's a bit of a head scratcher. Perhaps they feel they can flesh out the rest of their needs in the later rounds, there's still plenty of talent available even down in the 6/7 rounds. I think there's going to be a bunch of huge UDFAs available.
Guyton I guess like you mentioned is Tackle being valued over any other oline position, but if I remember right, guytons got some decent positional flexibility but he's not a center like JPJ. Graham Barton over JPJ with the buccs pick was interesting. But I guess they're different styles of center and perhaps the buccs wanted what Barton brings more than what they saw in JPJ.

49ers second round pick will be interesting to me. If a CB or IOL of value is sitting there are they going to take him.

You hope. Adonai Mitchel and Ladd McConkey still sitting there winking at ya 😉
