hey, anyone no how many Monday night games the vikes will be playing this year. last year was disappointing. also what draft picks do they have this year I heard reports of 5 in first three rounds. that is sweet possible trade up get AJ Hawk or Ernie Simms, Linebacker please.

Hi, The_Viking_Fan, and welcome to GoTeamsGo! Thanks for joining us here to talk a little Minnesota football.

I haven't heard anything about them trading up, but I guess anything's possible. If they can't swing a deal and stay put in the 1st round, who would you like to see them draft?

Welcome to GoTeamsGO The_Vikings_fan. My guess is that you're a Cowboy fan.

The full Monday night schedule isn't out yet.

The Vikings have 3 picks in the 1st 2 rounds: 17th, 48 & 51. I can't seem to find the 3rd round order anywhere. Can anyone else?

[The_Viking_Fan]

I think they should go LineBacker Aj Hawk, Ernie Simms if the trade up, but no one else is really needed except maybe (matt) we need a QB prospect and he definitly is a prospect Cutler is pretty good to, but not worth trading up for. This draft is going to be crazy. maybe we keep our 17th pick trade our 2nd round picks for late 1st round, keep our 2 third round picks for depth. oh, By the way we get seatle's third round (this years) if buerelson go's to seatle.

Well, Sims could be available at 17. If not, though, what do you think of DeMeco Ryans, OLB, Alabama or Bobby Carpenter, LB, Ohio State? Would they be a good fit in Minnesota?

[The_Viking_Fan]

Honestly, I hope the trade up get high talent like AJ or Matt, but if they don't and keep all there picks they should go strictly talent. most talented available. get some good depth.

The_Vikings_ Fan - what did you think of Mike Tice?

[The_Viking_Fan]

Crap! the inexperience showed alot at the end of the season. Good luck to him, glad he is gone. we'll see about Childress, Reports are he is hard ass that will be a nice change.
