2013 Draft Central (Minnesota Vikings)

[El Jorge 69]

Wow would that be the best offseason with a draft move like that and then Sign Bowe.

I would rather they look at mike Wallace. I think his price tag dropped after this season due to lack of Big Ben and case of the drops.

If it' pick 6 in the 2013 NFL Draft and Te'o is still on the board would anyone be willing to trade our 1st and 2nd? (versy similar to Dallas for claiborne).

Even though this would be the sexy move I would rather just keep both of our picks. There is a pretty good crop of 2nd rounders in this draft and I would value Ogletree + a decent WR in round 2 than just Te'o. Don't get me wrong I am a huge Te'o and Notre Dame fan but for a rebuilding team I just don't see the value in it.

I agree with you. Would love it but at this point we need more talent in multiple places. It sure would be fun having Te'o man the middle for the next 10+ years though!!!

If Murray declares I don't see anyway that he drops to the 6th round

I agree, but I do research when I make my mocks. A lot I saw had him going this late. Some even not getting drafted. I'm not saying I agree with it. I'm also reading how guys like Landry Jones and Collin Klein may not get drafted. Klein I understand, but Jones...

Eh even if he does drop his price tag he's still going to cost a pretty penny. Pretty much all he can do is go deep, which yea we do need but if were going to spend a bundle on a receiver I'd rather spend it on an all around receiver like Dwayne Bowe.

Has Robert Woods stock dropped that much?

It sounds like it wouldn't be surprising for Woods to return for another season after his stock took such a hit this season. Injury slowed him down a lot this year, it'd probably be most beneficial to him to return to USC.

I'm pulling for Terrance Williams in the first.

[VCU4LIFEGOVIKS]

I'm pulling for Terrance Williams in the first.

If we cant get Allen then Williams should be our man.

[natelpete]

If we cant get Allen then Williams should be our man.

True. I guess I'm just assuming Allen will be gone at that point. Even if they're both there, I think it's almost a toss up.

I have been looking at quite a few mock drafts this morning and they don't have Williams going in the first. If we could get the best DT or OG available in the first then trade up in the second to get Williams i would be ecstatic.

LSU punter leaving school early for NFL draft

We don’t often mention punters when we’re listing the players leaving college football early for the NFL draft, but we don’t often come across punters like LSU’s Brad Wing.

Although Wing hasn’t said anything about it publicly, Gannett Louisiana reports that Wing will declare for the NFL draft.

That’s no surprise. Wing has a strong leg, good hang time on his punts and good accuracy for dropping the ball inside the 20-yard line, so he’s certainly good enough to get NFL teams’ attention. And Wing has never made much of a secret that he left his home in Australia and moved to Louisiana to be an athlete, not a student, so he’s likely eager to move on. Wing has been suspended from LSU’s bowl game for violating team rules, which means his college football career is effectively over, even though he’s a third-year sophomore who still has two years of NCAA eligibility remaining.

In this year’s draft, two punters were selected: Jacksonville chose Bryan Anger in the third round, and Carolina chose Brad Nortman in the sixth round. The best guess is that Wing would seem likely to go somewhere lower than Anger but higher than Nortman in the 2013 draft.

If we take a punter in the 3rd round I will refuse to watch the 2013 season lol

i would be ok with us drafting a punter in the 3rd round... as long as it was in 2100

[wrizzo]

Moss and Harvin were both college pot smokers who the vikings took a chance on... Da'Rick Rogers... maybe 3rd times the charm

I was actually watching Robert Woods very closely in their bowl game against Ga Tech yesterday, he had a lot of drops but most of the balls were very inaccurate because the backup to Matt Barkley was awful! It was pretty hard to evaluate him based on the horrible QB play. I would've liked to have seen him step up though in spite of the poor QB play. If I was Spielman I'd have Keenan Allen from Cal ahead of him on our board though. Maybe we can luck up and sit and wait to snag him in the 2nd round.
