Vikings Links: It’s Draft Day!

Will the Vikings make a pick tonight?

Draft Day is here! It is time to get in your final mock and it would be nice to post it here.

Also, what player(s) do you think will drop out of the first round and what player(s) do you think will be surprise first round picks?

It could be a contest but the only prize you would get is more grief from me. It is a win win situation IMHO.

My guess of player(s) that will not get selected in the first round using this big board are …

Josh Simmons OT Ohio State

Grey Zabel OT/OG North Dakota State

Nick Emmanwori S South Carolina

James Pearce EDGE Tennessee

…

My guess of players that will get selected in the first round are …

Josh Connerly Jr. OT Oregon

Matthew Hairston CB Kentucky

Trey Amos CB Mississippi

Carson Schwesinger LB UCLA

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:

• No discussion of politics or religion
• No feeding of the trolls
• Leave the gender hatred at the door
• Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
• Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags
• No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
• If you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away
• While navigating the open thread, just assume it’s sarcasm
