Wow awesome for Damien Wilson at 127 overall!
 

Congrats to Damien Wilson! I look forward to watching him on Sundays!
 





How bout Brett Hundley still being out there? Should have stayed in school?
 

Cobb moves onto the 5th round. Minnesota has a few chances at him early. I think they need a good back-up RB as it seems like they are sticking with Adrian at this point.
 






Congrats David! Pick 138 to the Titans - get to play alongside Mariota
 

Congrats to Cobb! A little disappointed that it's with the Titans, but hopefully that team's fortunes turn around with Mariota.

It's a place he should have a good shot at getting some carries right away.
 

Hearty congrats to Maxx, Damien, and David!

Root for Cedric!
 

Not too deep of a stable of running backs there so if he works hard he will get some quality playing time.
 

WTF is with Speilman. I think he has traded down twice in the 5th already. Keeps trading out of the 4th and 5th to get more picks in the 6th and 7th. ****ing stupid. 6 and 7 are like FA's.

Could of had one of the OG's and Cobb. But would rather have picks in 7th. Dumb ass.

Speilman's ego get's in the way.

Two good picks, then a 'project' at 3, then an injury risk at4, then go to theback of the line. I'm pissed.

Spielman is terrible, but I'm glad he didn't spend a 4th round pick to have Cobb battle Matt Asiata for the #3 running back job.
 

Nice fit for Cobb, he's a nice complement to Bishop Sankey. Congrats!

Most everything I've seen has said the Vikings have had one of the best drafts. The 4th round pick is risky but the reward can be great too.

Personally, I don't understand why everyone wants the Vikings to take a RB if they really are going to keep Peterson. McKinnon is good as a backup/change of pace guy. They have much bigger needs.

I think AP is definitely gone after this year. McKinnon is not an everydown back.

There's just no reason one team should have so many trades every year. That's ego.

They've said all along that they need bodies. Many of the late rounders are either role players, or end up in the developmental squad. Sixteen games makes a long season with injuries to season veteran players. It is a high risk/reward thing .
 




Icing on the cake would be Cameron Botticelli
 

Amazing. Four guys drafted, when is the last time that happened?
 

Wow! Really happy for Thompson. One of my favorites with all the things he has had to overcome.
 

The people on the Titans message board seem to love the Cobb pick.

I'm a little disappointed that he didn't end up with the Vikes.
