Agree PB. Dahan, you are right about some recievers but then we gave up those 4th round picks to move up a few notches. If you wanted Tyrell and with all the other good prospects up there, why take away another (and last) quality lot of picks. Bennon and Booty will probobly be gone when we pick our 5′’s We could have saved our 4 picks and hoped Johnson was available, and if not, we still had some decent O-line, WR and QB prospects to nail. I just think the Vikes are to quick to jump the gun when negotiating trades. Another day or 2 and would we have been able to to give KC a 3rd rounder next year instead of both this year (for Allen. I hope both these guys turn out to be great additions for the Vikes and I "eat crow" Time will tell.

They had a chance a a QB, they really should have taken it. I realize they want to completely stack the defense, but what good is a 0-0 tie every game? At this point…Colt Brennan! Whatever, give us something to say, "Well, it could happen" about. If all of the fans know how Jackson will turn out (inconsisently mediocre at best), why can’t the front office figure it out?

Sorry, forgot to add, if you don’t think this is true, just ask Detroit.

I wondered about this pick a little at first, but it makes sense. If Sharper’s injured, or wears down over the season, who’s there to back him up? Receivers are notoriously hard to choose. First rounders bust all the time. Fourth and fifth round receivers are almost as likely to be impact players as sencond rounders. Corners and Safeties, on the other hand, aren’t usually as much of risk.

With 2 quality QB’s amd Malcom Jeiiy available we take a safety? Sorry Darren ain’t dead yet but we needed to shore up an offense to compliment the D. P assing on Brohm was another stupid move.Safety was not an immediate need.
