Did pretty good on my mock in that I hit about half a dozen right on the nose, most of them not obvious. The one that I wish I had been wrong about was Nick Fairly going to Detroit. That is going to suck if the Vikings can't improve their line quite a bit. I was thinking that in the 2nd round we would go after CBs Williams or Dowling, but now that we have to face Suh/Fairly twice, we may look for o-line help immediately (Rodney Hudson?).
I was scared to death that with Locker gone, the Vikes would be determined to go after Blaine Gabbert, who seems pretty worthless. Thank god the Jags saved us from ourselves. I had always preferred Andy Dalton over Christian Ponder, but now I'm not so sure. Ponder is the guy that Peyton would love to mentor. Too bad we don't actually have Peyton to mentor him. Still, it would be nice to sign a vet free agent to help both Webb and Ponder. I just hope it won't be frigging McNabb, but it probably will be (sigh!). Interesting that NOBODY jumped on Dalton or Mallet during the first round. Perhaps there is something negative out there that hasn't been revealed yet. Anyway, I think Ponder is a great choice. We have two fine young QBs now. Either could prove to be the "one".
I look forward to our lone pick on Friday. Should be offensive line or CB. On Saturday, we will need to pick up a DT, DE, S, TE, and probably another CB. A kicker in the 7th round might be a good idea as well. We have 7 picks in rounds 4-7 so it should be a lively time.
