NFL Network is reporting, among others that the Minnesota Vikings are now VERY interesting in moving up in the draft to take either Jay Cutler or Vince Young.
It makes total sense as they already had a good team to begin with and got more stacked through FA. Brad Johnson is getting old and Mike McMahon is nothing more than than a backup. They dont have a glaring "need" in the draft.
I would seriously HOPE that Vince Young is on the board at number eight as a Bills fan; as Minnesota will SURELY try to get into that spot.
Would you move down to 17 from 8 for the right price?
Vikes own two picks in the second round, 48 and 51st picks. And they'll also own a pair of thirds once they dont match Burleson's offer.
If the Vikes offered 17 and both their seconds, I really think you have to look strongly at the proposal.. We'd slide down to the bottom half of round one (losing out on Ngata or Bunkley) but we'd have THREE second rounders (42, 48 and 51) and we already own a pair of thirds.
That would be SIX picks in day one of the draft. For a team that did very little in Free agency, six day-one picks would be awesome.
In that scenario, you could take probably Eric Winston (OT) in the first and go guard, defensive tackle and defensive end in round two.. Round three I'd take another guard to take over Villarriall in 2007 and the BPA.
It would suck to lose out on a top ten pick, but if (since) we are building through the draft, I dont see how they could turn this down. That would probably three new starters in one draft.
Might even be able to get a little bit more too. It costs a lot to move 9 spots up from 17 to 8 in the draft.
Thoughts?
