<![CDATA[Vikings draft]]>What are your opinions so far?

I personally like the picks. We got great value out of #22, considering there really wasn't much there. If Harvin turns out(which with AP, and even Berrian, it shouldn't take much). Should create some interesting matchups and hopefully cause some creativity in Childress' play calling.

You can tell he knew his job was on the line this year by his pick...but atleast he'll go out swinging.

Loadholt(Loadhold) should be a decent addition to our line as well. He is definitely another McKinnie, but I think it will work ok. We will be able to run to the right side, and might actually have Kleinsasser block someone other than the end.

It has been a few years since I have been genuinely impressed with the Vikings draft, even if it is only the first 2 rounds. Loadholt may have been a bit of a reach(especially with Beatty still available), but he was still decent value at that pick IMO.

I was kinda hoping we'd somehow end up with Beanie Wells and trade for Anquan Boldin, but that wasn't meant to be.

I will be watching closely again tomorrow

I hope the vikings do horrible this season though so they can 1. Get a new head coach and play caller 2. So they can be 1-2 for next year to get Tim Tebow.

Harvin sounds likes another Moss to me, great player with off field issues. I think he'll get straightened out with guys like Berrian around him.
