The Vikings have signed only two of their eight draft picks so far but with just a little more than a week until the team reports to training camp that should begin to change. It's expected that talks with the agent for second-round cornerback Chris Cook -- the Vikings' first selection in the draft -- will pick up this week. Already signed are fifth-round linebacker Nathan Triplett out of Minnesota and seventh-round fullback Ryan D'Imperio out of Rutgers. That leaves a list that includes Cook; second-round running back Toby Gerhart (Stanford); fourth-round defensive end Everson Griffen (Southern Cal); fifth-round guard Chris DeGeare (Wake Forest); sixth-round quarterback Joe Webb (Alabama-Birmingham); and seventh-round tight end Mickey Shuler (Penn State). Considering the Vikings did not have a first-round pick, things should go pretty smoothly in negotiations now that camp is approaching. Source: Star-Tribune
True, but Wilson was going to go in the first so you couldn't have done anything about it. He's not worth two second round picks either. Anyways, I hope Griffin comes back in time and starts over Cook.
We had the pick immediately after the Jets, but traded down after they took Wilson. I believe that if Wilson was on the board, he would have been the pick.
Oh there were too many trades, didn't remember the Vikings trading down. You got Everson Griffen. You need a young DE with huge potential like him. And Cook isn't bad, so I think you actually won somewhat.
