The Vikings players voted Jerome Simpson the most impressive player in camp because they finally realize they can't win without a deep threat. But Simpson lacks the speed (4.47 40) of most of the NFL's deep threats (4.40 40) and Greg Childs had before his injury (4.42 40). Spielman's risk of waiting until the 4th round to draft an outside deep threat with the injured Childs is already a complete failure. This is a huge, although not unexpected, loss for the Vikings.
