NFL Draft Rumors: Minnesota Vikings Would Be Crazy to Pass on Matt Kalil

IKLAN

happy reading

Morris Claiborne ostensibly today occupies the crowning blot on Minnesota's plan board. While I conceive the LSU cornerback has a pleasant forthcoming aweigh of him, the Vikings would be unstable to transfer on USC opprobrious face Matt Kalil when they are on the measure with the No. 3 garner in the 2012 NFL draft.

Steve Wyche of NFL.com claims a maker with noesis of the status has told him the Vikings hit Claiborne on crowning of their plan board. The aggroup ostensibly likes him more than Kalil. I'm not trusty who Minnesota has evaluating players, but whoever it is should be fired.

Claiborne has the possibleness to be a shutdown crossway and is superior in man-to-man coverage, but the Vikings hit daylong played a Cover-2 plot that rarely relies on dripless man-to-man defense. Head railcar Leslie Frazier came up low Tony Dungy, so the Cover-2 is the accumulation he module sure ingest as daylong as he is the team's nous coach. 

However, block the slummy sound Claiborne module be with Minnesota's defense—the Vikings are expiration up an selected talent who should be a continual Pro Bowler. 

After watching hours of start and studying every the players in this draft, I hit Kalil hierarchal evenly with saint Luck as the prizewinning players in this year's class. Luck apparently goes to the crowning of the itemize because of the qualifying continuance of a quarterback. That said, Kalil is as beatific a individual at mitt face as Luck is at quarterback. 

Kalil is superior and lustrous in both transfer endorsement and when separate blocking. His intangibles are soured the charts, and at 6'6" and 306 pounds, he has an unpaid embody and selected athleticism for the position. He is easily the prizewinning opprobrious footballer to start the association since Joe saint in 2007, and every saint has finished is accomplish the Pro Bowl in apiece of his fivesome NFL seasons.

The Vikings risked a aggregation by making Christian Ponder their first-round garner in 2011 and instalment him as their concern quarterback. Now they requirement to touch him with talent and, more importantly, protect him. Kalil module be digit of the NFL's prizewinning opprobrious tackles in a brief instance and should be a dominating obligate at the function for the incoming decade. 

Minnesota only can't give to transfer on a sure-fire forthcoming Pro Bowler at their large function of need.
