Could Lee or Jordan Matthews possibly be sitting there when we pick in the second? Have a feeling theres gonna be a run on second tier wideouts so I doubt it
Crichton or Tuitt in the 2nd.
Bridgewater pick is more Viking mediocrity, now that made my night. Teddy will make EJ Manuel look like Joe Montana.
The Queens sure have traded away a lot picks the last two years. With the rate that NFL teams turns over players I wonder if they are getting a bit thin depth wise.
Correct me if I am wrong is not one of the raps on Bridgewater is his hand size? I am just asking become I seam to remember the Vikings had the same issue with a QB with small hands in the past.
Guys likely to be available at 53 include DT Rashede Hageman, WR Cody Latimer, TE Austin Seferian-Jemkins and Troy Niklas, LB Kyle Van Noy.
Timmy Jernigan appears to have smoked his way out of the first round, and could slide to the mid second round too.
I'm hoping Stephon Tuitt falls to 53, but that is likely a pipe dream.
Who is your pick?
Playing 2 years outdoors in bitter cold should help Teddy a lot.
I love that the Vikes picked Bridgewater, he's going to be an awful pro QB. Small hands and a narrow frame in a division featuring Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers, Jared Allen, and Nndamukong Suh among others. He's not going to last long. At least Senneca Wilson has big hands and a solid frame to make up for his lack of height, Bridgewater is a smart, pocket passed QB in a WR body. More of the same, but hey at least the Vikings got to pick 32nd! That's the first and last time that will happen!
The Seahawks moved down pretty cheap also, only netting Minnesota's 4th, not even getting their 3rd back from the Harvin deal.
I'd like to see the Pack get Jace Amaro with their second pick
These days I'm a Trent Murphy fan first.
would love to see Van Noy in the 2nd. If not then one of the TEs or Wrs but hoping for more defense.
A couple of these guys later today would work.
Jeebus ****.qing Christmas, the ballwashing for Manziel on both ESPN and NFL Network is sickening. You'd swear someone gave up 17 #1s to the Texans to take Cleveland's next failure.
Cleveland spends $100k on a study that says Bridgewater is the best QB in the draft. Trade away picks for Manziel.
Minny trades away picks to move up to grab Bridgewater thinking they made out by using Cleveland's study.
Two crap franchises being crap franchises.
If it weren't for the fact that he went to Cleveland, I could see Manziel on a career path similar to Aa Rod's. The motivation from dropping well below his predicted draft position would seem to mesh with his talent and confidence. However, coaching is a dire need and historically, there doesn't seem to be a ready supply from the factory of sadness.

When McGinn is sharing information he's told by his network of contacts then I pay attention because that is not his opinion, but guys like McGinn and Bedard aren't experts on football.
That,I agree with.

I think Tuitt is gonzo by #51...Hageman might be available. Not sure Crichton is what we are looking for in a 3-4 base end...Hageman projects as a 4-3 DT...but I also think he can be a Cullen Jenkins type 3-4 base end.
Jace Amaro also an option here.
Helmet Hair has us taking Borland...scares the hell out of me because of his shoulder history.
This is where things get muddy because who knows what TT will do. Dix seemed like the obvious pick, as he was BPA on many draft boards and was easily the Packers biggest need. They can live with Hawk and B Jones in ILB and Quarless/Bostick at TE, but they did not have anyone on the roster that has started at safety in a football game in years.
I'd like to see front 7, either DL or linebacker, but I'd be happy with a TE or WR.
Second round is where TT shines. Cobb. Jordy Nelson. Nick Collins. Eddie last year. I could go on, but his odds are better here than in the first round.

Tuitt probably won't be there at #53, but Dix shouldn't have been there at #21.
RE: Borland - Has TT ever taken a Badger?
Hoping we take Van Noy over Borland...kid is a player...most project to OLB, but he moved all over at BYU and made plays all day.
I agree on Van Noy, and believe that with the addition of Peppers, Dix, and continued development of Neal we could see a transformed D next year.
Talk about a kid many were saying we'd be lucky to get in round 2 a few months ago...Shayne Skov...kid has FALLEN big time...didn't run at combine because of hamstring...aggravated it before their pro day...conducted an April 21 special workout and ran a 5.11
Kid may spiral into the late, late rounds.
Dix n Nix. Sounds like a german game show. Nix would be a steal at 53.
Should be plenty to choose from at 53 though. Richburg, Marcus Martin, Allen Robinson, Van Noy, Crichton, Jordan Matthews.
Just read that TT tried to trade with the Lions to take Ebron.
So maybe TT trades up today to take Jace Amaro.
Hoping there's a run on RB's and a few more QB's in the first 20 picks of the 2nd round. And my preferance for our 2nd round pick is Jordan Matthews. Just got a hunch that guy is gonna be really good. Would even like to see TT move up a tad to get him. However, in TT I trust to make the best pick from whomever is available when we are on the clock.
Overall pleased with Dix, not overjoyed cuz I wanted Shazier who went before our pick, but of who was available at 21 it was a nice consolation prize.

The Lion trade sounds like something Jim Schwartz would say.
Could go Seferian-Jenkins to go with Clinton-Dix.
Long live hyphens!!!!!

Dix n Nix is not quite Ringo'n'Starr, but it's good.
I'm predicting a trade up for Marqise Lee or Jordan Matthews. Calling my shot.
I'm predicting they won't trade up for Lee, but they will try to trade up for another player
Lots of talk today that Ebron to DET @10 was way too high. Could be the Ted tried to trade up w/DET rumor is coming from the Lions camp to pacify their lemmings.

It would take our 3rd round pick to move in to the early picks today. As much as I like Amaro I do not make a trade. Now if some one is there named Jace and we can get there with out 4th rd pick.....

Ted didn't want Lions grabbing an LB or a Safety so he called about a trade and told them he wanted Ebron. They hung up the phone and drafted Ebron...
mission accomplished 
Ebron is a huge douche. Very fitting that he ends up in the Lions organization
And I don't care how, but GB needs to get a damn ILB today. 3 straight years of Hawk/Jones at ILB would be a travesty to this defense

I have bigger hands than Teddy. The Vikings probably read about the Browns' analysis on Teddy.
