1. Looks like he's going to be good...seems like the Broncos might have an eye for that...

[KitchenWitch]

4. Yeah, I know

Meanwhile the Vikings have Tavares Jackson, Brooks Bollinger and whomever that person masquerading as a QB was yesterday...

6. You could have had this guy, too

Passed over him three times, if I recall...:evilgrin:

[KitchenWitch]

7. Please do not rub it in

Drafting has not been the Vikings strong suit.

8. Wasn't he picked before their turn?

Or did they trade down?

[KitchenWitch]

9. No, both Jay Cutler and Matt Leinert were available when they drafted

:grr:

11. Hmm, help me out here. Aren't the Vikings in Minnesota these days?

Minnesota picked 17th, Matt Leinart went 10th, and Cutler went 11th. Unless Minnesota traded down, I don't see what you're saying. Anyway, I don't think much of Cutler or Leinart, so far. They have Rex Grossman written all over them--just enough skill to make you wish they could do more, but not enough to scare an opponent.

12. They were scheduled to draft 9th, IIRC - they traded down.

[jobycom]

13. I don't think so.

I just did a Google, and I find no reference to them trading down. There were several comments that they were hoping one of the QBs would fall to them at 17.

Now in this last draft they skipped Brady Quinn for Adrian Peterson.

10. Shoulda kept Morten Andersen. nt.
