Nah, do you really think they believe Rodgers is a long term answer? Two years at best for me. Plus, the price wasn't that high.Originally posted by Frozen Tundra View PostMan, the Jets stared the Vikings down and made them believe someone else was on the phone wanting #10.
May even have been the truth, but considering that it's the Vikings I hope it isn't. And they got pantsed.

Are you hanging on the Vikings boards tonight? How's the draft going over with all my old friends from when I lived in the Twin Cities? Any strong early reactions?Originally posted by Rastak View PostNah, do you really think they believe Rodgers is a long term answer? Two years at best for me. Plus, the price wasn't that high.

Hey Frozen, I've been here in it's various forms since like 1999 I think. That was JSO Online and good ole Tex was there. No, I am not on any Vikings boards, never found one that had interesting people like here. I like hanging out with you guys.

Byron Murphy II
Overview
Muscular ball of explosiveness with the tools and talent to become a productive three-down defender in the right scheme. Twitchy first-step quickness combined with flexion and power in his lower half create a recipe for disruption as a gap shooter or as a pass rusher. Murphy is powerful and well-schooled at taking on double-teams but lacks ideal mass and length for that role long-term. He’s successful at bypassing protection with sudden hands and quick feet, while his motor and passion create an activity level coaches will love. Forget the average physical traits and modest production and focus on his competitive spirit and disruptive qualities. Murphy is ascending and could become a successful nose tackle or 3-technique in an even front.
Strengths
Compact frame carries outstanding lean muscle.
Uses twitchy, controlled bursts to light up gaps and disrupt play development.
Elite combination of strength, balance and flexible power in his lower half.
Quick-strike hands help to maneuver around blocks and chase play development.
Pass rush driven by relentless energy and exemplary edge-to-edge quickness.
Variety of rush approaches are peppered with fluid transitions and counters.
Weaknesses
Frame might be close to maxed out.
Can be swallowed by size if he doesn’t keep it moving.
Lack of arm length forces him to work harder to separate.
Could be worn down by NFL double-teams and size.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen
