Coples doesn't seem like a Pioli pick ... AT ALL.

I have no clue where he would even play. He's oversized for a 4-3 DE... would he be a JJ Watt-type at DE for us? We already have a guy like that in Allen Bailey.

I think this is just proof that some of these draft sites don't do their homework at all. One quick glance at the roster, maybe some research from local sources, and then they say, "Welp, this guy kinda fits. Good enough"

Report: Morris Claiborne is No. 1 player on Vikings draft board

Citing a source with knowledge of the situation, NFL Network’s Steve Wyche reports that LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne is the No. 1 player on the Vikings’ draft board, and they are “leaning toward” drafting Claiborne with the No. 3 overall pick in the draft.

Per Wyche, the Vikings also “like [Claiborne] more” than USC tackle Matt Kalil.

Appearing on ESPN’s <i>NFL Draft Special</i> Thursday, Adam Schefter seemed to agree with the notion that Claiborne is the favorite to be drafted with the third overall pick.

“There seems to be a feeling that they might be leaning toward Morris Claiborne while still considering Matt Kalil,” Schefter said.

The Vikings’ priority remains trading down, but if they stick to their draft board, Claiborne will be the third pick in the draft and a mini-slide could be in order for this year’s top-rated offensive tackle.

Rick Spielman is the dumbest mother****ing GM if he takes Claiborne. That's saying a lot considering who is running the show in Miami.

No problem with that.

This morning he said he has it on extremely good authority that the Vikings will take Kalil, outside of a trade offer they can't refuse.

Take it for what it's worth, but he has a great track record...

When is the draft over tonight?

When all the teams have made their 1st round choices :thumb:

Oh thank Christ it's finally here. Mock drafts bore the shit out of me.

Pick someone and let's get on with the long summer wait.

If I was Scott, I would go into this draft with my two main goals being Barron and Weeden. Need those two guys.

Happy birthday. It's my daughter's bday as well.

There is some rumblings KC is targeting ILB in the 1st. Basically leaves it to two guys... Luke Kuechly or Donte Hightower. Just depends if we stay pat at #11 or trade back?

Can't wait to draft Russell Wilson!

**** ESPN. It's draft day. Get that baseball $3it off there.

Anyone pm a link to NFL network?...

Whenever they're done. I don't know how long ESPN will cover it.
