NFL: **** Official 2023 NFL Draft Thread ****

Vikings GM is a moron. They need defense desperately. Vikings will give up 50 points a game next year.

You're probably right,, but if they get healthy, they might not be bad.
 
The Vikings defense is terrible. Picking a WR in the 1st round was not what they needed.

I would have been fine with a defensive pick, but the NFL is an offensive league, and there's no denying it. You have to score. I'd much rather be a team with a great offense and crappy defense than the other way around. Minnesota lost Thielen and while Osborn did fine, he didn't really show that he can be a dependable number 2. Many experts had the Vikings considering a WR at 23. They brought in Byron Murphy at CB in free agency, and both Cine and Booth, their top 2 picks from last year, should be healthy for next year. So I get that they want to let Flores cook with some of the ingredients that are already in the kitchen.

Levis is the one that could sting, if he goes on to be a franchise guy. Hopefully he's a dud, tho.

Could be that they like some mid round defenders almost as much as what was available to them.
 
KC picks TE from K-State, EDGE Felix Anudike-Uzomah. How does he compare to Will, or Van Ness?
