Honestly, we should have known this would be a boring Draft....
I mean, what is Minnesota supposed to do with 5 picks? And no 2nd rounder? Can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit. I see that fans are putting the organization in a no win situation. Why didn't they move up?? Then, why did they pick Addison? Why did they move down? lol. Tough crowd. But I see this in every fanbase on Draft day. Weird expectations.
Needed a WR to replace our old #2 (Thielen). Done. 2nd rounder for Hockenson, good move. Need a corner, done. Yet nobody seems very happy with it. I think Viking's fans think this season is going to be a complete shit show, which I don't get either. I'm not saying go homer pollyanna on things, but Jesus....
It was a good draft. I'm very happy with the Addison pick. Addison will be helpful for Jefferson and spreading the field. His route running and separation are key. Of course no complaints about TJ Hockenson. I am glad they didn't take Hooker or Levis. I like the versatility of Ward, he played both safety and corner. McBride is a good choice. There is size and power with Roy. I know there were a lot of needs and not as many picks but they got some good pieces. The UDFA's are also intriguing. Hopefully some of the guys that were injured last year can have an impact this year. I am interested to hear from Flores. I am going to trust him with the defense. I know it takes time to thoroughly evaluate the success and failure of a draft class so definitely want to revisit this.

Our 3rd went to Detroit for Hock, 5th to Philly for Reagor (could become a 4 if he hits conditions), 7th for Nick Mullens.
