Re: Minnesota Vikings Draft Picks

Peterson's durability is a question mark, but if he can stay healthy, he's a top five NFL back. Rice and McCauley are both extremely talented athletes and good value at their respective pick positions. I like what Minnesota did in the first day.

I really think they got "value" in their 1st two picks...Rice and Petterson...they got to be happy with that.

Minnesota Vikings 2007 NFL Draft Review
Miami Herald, FL - 13 hours ago
Analysis: Vikings head coach Brad Childress and GM Rick Spielman breathed some life into the offense, choosing Peterson to unseat Chester Taylor as the primary ball carrier and adding the rangy Rice to a group of wideouts that has had trouble getting out of its own way. McCauley was a solid third-round value but will be a backup to begin his NFL career. Robison has a chance to be in the rotation at a thin end spot, but is not the answer to the team's pass- rushing woes. Childress hopes he found the next Marques Colston in either Allison or Williams, and though neither has great size, both have sub-4.5 speed. The Vikings waited until the seventh round before taking a flier on a quarterback, meaning Tarvaris Jackson, Brooks Bollinger, or an as-yet-unnamed free agent will be the starter in 2007.

Bottom Line: No top-notch pass-rusher or quarterback candidate spells an average haul overall.
