THE draft thread (2013 version)

[pbmax]

If its ILB, I say Minter rather than Ogletree.

DL everyone predicted is still available.

floyd is a waste to the vikings. 5 career sacks.

he's a space eater, and a pass rusher

[Rastak]

Let's conduct a fucking parade while the teams keeps picking.

I read about a scout saying Kyle Long is complete idiot... said he never shuts up, very immature, always screwing around during practice.

Good for the Bears.

So he'll be a good fit with Cutler.

Every Viking draft pick burns. Not because of the Players they get... because its clear they've found a GM.

[gbpackfan]

That sucks

[red]

colts pick is already in before queens pick is announced

fucking shameful goodell.

[Rastak]

Vikings get Floyd

STRENGTHS: Has a naturally powerful frame with wide shoulders, a surprisingly trim waistline and the thick lower-half conducive to anchoring as a two-gap defender and run-stuffing presence in the middle. Flashes a terrific initial burst off the snap, showing the quickness to split gaps or even challenge lethargic offensive tackles when he's asked to line up wide.
Uses his hands well to chop at blockers attempting to latch on to his chest, ripping away and showing a nice over-arm swim move. Good lateral agility to "get skinny" through gaps and shows enough short-area quickness to close when the ballcarrier is near. Has made gains each of his three seasons of collegiate football and could be just scratching the surface of his potential.

WEAKNESSES: Remains rough around the edges. While quick off the snap, Floyd has a tendency to lose sight of the ball and get too caught up in hand-fighting with offensive linemen. Some of this is due to the fact that he often stands up at the snap, losing his natural leverage advantage, as well as his impressive combination of burst and strength.

Has great initial quickness but does not appear to have the sustained quickness to translate into a consistent interior pass rush threat -- at least not against today's increasingly mobile dual-threat passers.

COMPARES TO: Corey Liuget, DL, San Diego Chargers -- Athletic, strong and capable of emerging as a standout as either a 3-4 defensive end or 4-3 defensive tackle, Floyd has talent and upside to virtually guarantee at top 10 selection despite the fact that he has flashed more than dominated throughout his collegiate career.

packers are gonna be on the clock in a couple minutes here

[RashanGary]

Ugh. . . Nice pick, rastak. This slide helps him. He needs some humility. Wish he wouldn't have gotten it before going to the Vikings.

Jason LaCanfora

The Colts selected Bjoern Werner and the Vikings are back on the clock. So there goes one of those pass rushers

[Smeefers]

Every Viking draft pick burns. Not because of the Players they get... because its clear they've found a GM.

I've recently looked over the past few Vike drafts and I have to agree with you.

[Packgator]

floyd is a waste to the vikings.

Vikings can have him.
