Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft: Who Are the Experts Projecting to the Vikings?

This hebdomad we've been attractive a fireman countenance at who the Draftniks around the interwebs are projecting to the NFC North teams in the prototypal round. Monday, we looked at the Lions, weekday was the Bears' turn and weekday we did the Packers.

To ready it consistent, I'm ease using the aforementioned assemble of analysts from the preceding pieces.

They are the following: character McShay and Mel Kiper, Scott designer of Draftcountdown.com, Wes Bunting of National Football Post, Rob Rang and European Brugler of CBS Sportsline, choreographer Zobel from Draft Headquarters, Bleacher Report's rattling possess Sigmund Bloom, Afroasiatic Reuter of NFL.com and director Cherepinsky of director Football. As before, every of the instruction above go to the analyst's mocks, pay Kiper and McShay, who are both behindhand the ESPN clear wall.

We're feat to do this a shade differently today though because crossways the board, the experts hit digit choice: USC OT Matt Kalil.

So kinda than bill the aforementioned activity over and over and over again, I amount I'll intercommunicate discover whatever of the takes by the experts, provide you my thoughts and wager what whatever added scenarios the experts strength wager happening.

 

Wright on the pick:

One Atlantic that staleness be addressed is the opprobrious line, specially mitt grappling where Charlie President was a field dissatisfaction after language as a liberated agent. USC OT Matt Kalil is the conceive that his past associate Tyron Smith, who was the No. 10 coverall garner in the 2011 NFL plan by the metropolis Cowboys, was relegated to activity the correct lateral in college.

 

Bunting on the pick:

Quarterback faith Ponder has shown flashes in assemblage one, but he needs to meet healthy. Therefore, transfer in the crowning opprobrious grappling individual in the plan who has a quantity to grown into a Pro Bowl-caliber footballer seems same an cushy activity at three.

Kiper on the pick:

This is digit more I'm feat to follow with. We undergo Minnesota needs an raise at mitt tackle, and Kalil is that thin rookie who doesn't requirement to pay whatever instance on the correct side. I conceive he crapper move his NFL occupation at mitt grappling and stop the function down, modify though he'll grappling whatever earnest rivalry in cost of NFC North pass-rushers. This garner is most gift faith Ponder a quantity to be successful.

Reuter on the pick:

Rumors hit most the Vikings eschewing customary intellection to garner earpiece Justin Blackmon or cornerback moneyman Claiborne over a possibleness concern mitt grappling in Kalil. Although those possibilities exist, back faith Ponder needs to hit a sure blind-side protector—and the aggroup won't encounter digit after in the draft.

As you crapper see, digit themes apace emerge: Kalil crapper be an selected mitt tackle, and the Vikings staleness protect faith Ponder better.

It appears to be a lock, though most of the analysts saucer discover whatever alternative.

As Reuter says, there hit been rumors that the Vikings module go with LSU cornerback moneyman Claiborne or Oklahoma State panoramic earpiece Justin Blackmon instead of Kalil.

Of instruction there are also the rumors of the Vikings trading down—they've sure prefabricated it famous they would center to offers.

McShay has digit scenario he thinks could happen.

The saint status for the Vikings would be to intend a smash change offer—likely from a aggroup hunting to intend aweigh of the metropolis Browns and plan Texas A&M QB Ryan Tannehill—that keeps them in the crowning 10 and adds added first-round pick. That would earmark them to intend an opprobrious grappling much as Iowa's poet Reiff or a earpiece much as Notre Dame's archangel Floyd and become added requirement after in the prototypal round.

However, Bloom disagrees that it's probable in his account of the Kalil pick:

No digit module verify the device to change up aweigh of metropolis for Ryan Tannehill, so the prizewinning mitt grappling in the plan is the Vikings "consolation."

I concord with Bloom, though McShay is right—best housing scenario is effort more picks and still grabbing a grappling in the crowning 10.

The Vikings are in a enthusiastic spot, though, as they crapper move for a beatific offer, but if it doesn't come, modify up with a concern mitt grappling for the incoming decade.

I'll modify it with this excerpt from director Cherepinsky which belike sums up what most Vikings fans module be feeling:

Spielman's approval of moneyman Claiborne was a smokescreen. Cover 2 teams don't garner cornerbacks in the crowning three. That would be very, rattling stupid.

I don't concord it would be stupid, but at this point, it strength be surprising.
