Okay, let’s talk Draft!  As we all know by now, our beloved Vikings have the number three overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.  The big question is what will they do with it?  Will they draft that can’t-miss offensive lineman we need so desperately, to protect our QB Christian Ponder?  Will the Vikes use that precious pick to take the big play, deep threat wide receiver the team needs so badly?  Or will we see our team draft a lock down defensive back at the number three slot in the first round?  Might we even see a trade down to some team looking to land Robert Griffin III?  Whatever the Minnesota Vikings do in the upcoming Draft, it all really hinges on what the St. Louis Rams do with their number two overall pick.  That’s right the St. Louis Rams could very well determine the future of the Minnesota Vikings!

Most of the Mock Drafts have the Rams taking outstanding Oklahoma State University Wide Receiver, Justin Blackmon.  If St. Louis does indeed draft Blackmon the most obvious pick for our Vikings would be USC Offensive Tackle, Matt Kalil.  Kalil seems to be a LOCK as a starter right off the bat, and should definitely give Ponder more time to make things happen with the offense.  I’m sure Adrian Peterson wouldn’t mind having the young Kalil’s 6’7”, 295 lb., frame on the line either!  So that’s the SURE bet…Rams go Blackmon, Vikings go Kalil.  Done and done!  Unless…the Rams pass on Blackmon and take our boy Kalil at number two.  Then what do we do??
