Can’t complain. It’s a lot of middle D talent which was badly needed.
Grab a couple WR in round 2, then work on OL and DB.
There goes Hill. Mafe will probably go soon, too.
Gute with the Henry memorial draft. He didn’t die in Ukraine for no reason.
Let’s be honest with ourselves. We’ve blamed GB’s defense for their failures since the beginning of time. At least now it’s obvious they are making a concerted effort to shore it up.
Henry just got of anger rehab. Thus the short one word positive responses.

The made the effort for years.. shall I list the failed picks?

I thought it was rehab??
BrainDed- So they should just say “fuck it” and give up?
George Pickens, Christian Watson, Alec Pierce and Tyquan Thornton all still on the board for day two, (or maybe early day three for Thornton).
Hill picked. Keep showing highlights against Badgers offense. Instantly not impressed.
Just scratching my head picking quay instead of Devin Lloyd. He looked like a beast. Quay looks pretty average. But what do I know? Otherwise, like the Wyatt pick at 28. Now we need to focus on offense. Defense can’t score all the points.

Another pick I liked better than Quay.
I think they played the draft board well, staying put. I do believe they will want one of the couple remaining top-ish receivers soon, however. Is a trade for Waller completely out of the question? In any event, so far so good.
Why do I always think I’m watching Deliverance when I see Vikings fans?

Last fall: It would be cool if we could draft a Georgia LB, but they’ll all be gone.
This spring: That Georgia LB is so average. Ugh!
Football fans😂
Georgia sending some serious D to the show.
Vikes follow Packers lead and take GA defender.
Only way MN can pick 32nd is if they trade down to it, LOL
At WR I like Jalen Tolbert in round 2 from South Alabama. He looks to me to be the best route runner of the bunch perhaps of the draft.
Rodgers just on macafee show said williams from Alabama the only receiver he saw that looked like he could play early on.. he knew what was happening and agreed not to push it.
Vikings get only 1 defender from GA. We got 2.. Did we just win the offseason?

Sure, but was Quay on a single mock draft in the first two rounds? Honestly, at least for me, Lloyd was the only one worth a late 1st round pick. I’ll be happy to be rong.
Nick Perry.
Datone Jones.
HaHa Clinton-Dix.
Damarious Randall.
Kenny Clark.
Kevin King (1st pick of round 2).
Jaire Alexander.
Rashan Gary & Darnell Savage
Jordan Love.
Eric Stokes.
Quay Walker & Devonte Wyatt.
12 of the last 13 top picks have gone to the defense.
The good news is that Gutey looks to be a much better judge of high-end defensive talent than Ted was (at least after 2011) and there is no reason the D cannot be a top 10 unit for the first time since 2010.

Not possible. Vikes ALWAYS win the offseason.

Mighty white of him.

He was on several. Try searching the internet. I already posted Eric Edholm had him going as pick #32…..and Lloyd as a Round 2 guy.

This is the problem with mock drafts. They are completed by mother fuckers that don't know shit. Then fans read them thinking they know shit... but it just compounds the equation of more people not knowing shit.

He was on plenty of mocks going around the Packers' picks, it's just most people thought Gutekunst was allergic to first-round inside linebackers.
This is like the Raji/Matthews draft all over again.
No trade for Waller too much dead cap numbers

I mostly agree, but there are some very knowledgeable/professionals that know drafting and grading. Nobody is always right, but some internet/TV people are pretty solid.
