Official Day one Draft thread

I get it. The Bear will screw this up, but maybe not. And that's scary. They really didn't give up that much either.

what did they give up, i missed it

it was a good move, they have to get the QB thing figured out at some point. i just wasn't sold on fields, or the bears being able to figure out QBs

i think if a lineman in college is a pro caliber player and can play tackle, you would have him playing tackle

he wouldn't just be playing guard because the guys playing tackle are just better

Actually, arm length is not underrated at OT. Not many top flight OTs with short arms. There are a few, but it's rare. However, Slater combines that in a 6'4" 304 frame. Now, I get that Slater hit the minimum. On the button, but combined with his size, he'll be a hell of a OG in a zone scheme.

I think I heard a 1st this year and 1st next year (equivalent to a 2nd this year).

Maybe, Vikes could play Slater at G and move Cleveland to OT.

[Rastak]

Chargers will start Slater at OT.

[Sparkey]

Slater to the Chargers

Everybody said that about Brian O'Neill, right? That proved bullshit. The difference between LT and RT is shrinking as teams get edge on both side these days. Vikings are not looking for a Bryant McKinney road grader.

Brian O'Neil has 34 1/8" arms--much longer than this guy. Way more than the average. Plus, he's 6'7" and had room to add to his frame. Plus, he really isn't the great. You'd hope at pick #14 you'd get better.

so, who do you think here ras?

[Rastak]

I don't know shit about most college players. Just what I read. I guess Darrisaw here? Is Mac Jones bad?

[Sparkey]

Paye or Darrisaw for Vikings?

Sounds like the Chargers need to worry about it.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I don't like him at OT. We'll see. I think he can be a great OG in a zone scheme.

Paye is a good pick too....Vikes trade out. Jets up.

[Sparkey]

Vikings trade pick to Jets
