The Minnesota Vikings hold the #12 pick in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft on Thursday night. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says the Vikings aren't in a position where they need to take a player who plays a specific position.
The NFL draft will take place Thursday April 28 - Saturday April 30. The St. Cloud area has had many players either drafted or signed as undrafted free agents. The list includes St. John's offensive lineman Ben Bartch, who was drafted in the 4th round by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2020.
After selecting cornerback Trae Waynes from Michigan State in the first round last night, the Minnesota Vikings have selected linebacker Eric Kendricks from UCLA with they round-2 pick tonight in Chicago. Not hard to feel Mike Zimmer's influence on this year's draft.
The first round of the 2015 NFL Draft was completed on Thursday night in Chicago. There were no huge surprises, but we did learn a few things from the night’s activities:
The Minnesota Vikings hold the 11th overall pick in tonight's NFL Draft. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the first pick, and the Tennessee Titans hold the second spot. I'm glad we scored Teddy Bridgewater last year, taking the Vikes out of the desperate situation of needing to land a quarterback. So let's get down to business.
After picking up Anthony Barr, Teddy Bridgewater, Scott Crichton and Jerik McKinnon in the first two days of the NFL draft, the Minnesota Vikings added six players during day three.
After trading the number-eight pick to the Cleveland Browns in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings used the ninth overall pick to select Anthony Barr, linebacker from UCLA.
The Minnesota Vikings have the 8th overall pick in tonight's NFL Draft. I love this day. It's about hope, the future, and the team I love. While many suggest taking a quarterback like Johnny Manziel, Blake Bortels, or Teddy Bridgewater would be a first-round mistake, but I'd like the excitement it would generate (and God knows we need one).
