So what should the Vikings be looking at with their next pick? Should they be considering a QB at some point?
NFL: **** NFL draft thread *****
- Thread starter brianhos
- Start date
DE Everett Griffen and OT Bruce Campbell are players that were expected to go before now, possibly in the second round. They both fit a place where the Vikes could use some depth.
I could see them taking a QB here if they think Crompton or Lefevour or another one has the chance to be the QB of the future.

I like the idea of Campbell coming in to be groomed as a replacement for McKinnie. The trick with picking a guy with character issues is having established leadership to let him know the expectations. Minnesota would be nice home for him.
I like that idea too.
Mel Kiper just said about Campbell "he's a guy who played like a 4th or 5th rounder, but worked out like Top 10 pick".
Along with Kevin Vickerson. All it cost the Seahawks was moving down about 8-10 picks in both rounds, as they get return picks. Sounds like a good trade for the Seahawks.

That trade was an absolute steal. Seattle didn't lose any picks. Just moved down in the 4th and 6th round, AND they got Lendale White and DT Kevin Vickerson from Tennessee? Why would the Titans make that deal? I understand that White had fallen out of favor, but they basically gave him away.

I know. He's ridiculously athletic for a Tackle. With coaching, he could be an absolute monster.
I also like that the Raiders took Jacoby Ford with their next pick, another workout wonder. It seems that Al Davis is back to picking the way he normally does.
Well, it is better to take those "workout wonders" in the 4th round, rather than the first.

I agree. Both were good values in the 4th. Raiders are having a nice draft. They are getting good players, and still satisfying Al's need to get his type of guys
Bears have gotten good players in Wright and Wootton for not having a pick until the third round.
The Jets now have LT, Greene, Leon Washington and Joe McKnight.
New England (hernandez) and Baltimore (pitta) get good TEs. Which is interesting since they both took TEs in the 3rd round.
