The Vikings were quite inactive in free agency, adding only two special teams type players. They also were thought to have about $17 million in cap space prior to the draft. Many people thought that the Vikings were going to be patient, not overpay players during the initial free agency period, and wait to see [...]

Vikings Add a Load on the O-Line in Loadholt
With their second round pick, the Viking took 6’ 8” 343 lbs. offensive tackle Phil Loadholt from the university of Oklahoma. First of all, let’s stop the whole “ he is not suited to play left tackle” talk. The Viking brought him in to play right tackle….Period ! I would also like to state that [...]
Harvin Could be a Playmaker – If He Stays Out of Trouble
Percy Harvin – No surprise as it is well known that Brad Childress had a huge man-crush on the biggest boom or bust prospect in this years draft. Is there baggage ? Oh yeah ! Could we be looking back at this choice 3 years from now and say “ What were the Vikings thinking [...]
3rd Round Pick Adds A Corner
The Vikings had some solid choices available to them when choosing in the third round. They passed up D.J. Moore and Rashad Johnson to select Asher Allen from Georgia. The corner will doubtless compete for the nickle spot on the Vikings roster and will also get a chance at winning the return man job.
Vikings Second Rounder Is…
With the 54th pick of the 2009 draft, the Vikings have opted to select Phil Loadholt, former teammate(Thanks Andy) fellow Oklahoma alum with Adrian Peterson from Oklahoma. This pick will somewhat ease the criticism they will receive for passing on Michael Oher in round one, but again the pick is somewhat questionable. Offensive tackle William Beatty was [...]
Vikings Add A Playmaker And A Troublemaker
The Vikings selected Percy Harvin with the #22 overall pick today. Harvin is thought to have top ten talent, but also comes into this draft as the prospect with the most baggage. The Harvin pick probably would’ve been easier to swallow for Vikings fans if offensive tackle Michael Oher hadn’t still been available. Oher got [...]
The Vikings Pick…
The Vikings have selected Percy Harvin with the twenty second pick in the 2009 draft. My initial reaction is that they missed big time on this one. He’s a risk worth taking, but not with a guy like Michael Oher still on the board. Hopefully Harvin will be the playmaker everyone projects him as, stays out [...]

I will update this post with up-to-the-minute updates on picks, trades, and analysis. Enjoy! Times are in Central Time Zone. 3:05: PICK ONE – Stafford goes to the Lions of course.

Britton Rises, Harvin Falls, And Nobody Knows What The Heck Is Going On
Three weeks ago I scoured dozens (and I mean many, many dozens) of mock drafts and it was obvious that reciever Percy Harvin was the most popular choice for the Vikings to select at #22. Things have changed a bit. I scoured dozens (again I mean many, many, dozens) of mocks that have been [...]
Harvin Gets Last Minute Visit
Percy Harvin has been described as a dynamic playmaker with a nose for the end zone. He’s also been described as the riskiest selection for a team to make during Saturday’s draft. According to multiiple reports, Brad Childress decided to check in with Harvin one last time before the draft. According to the reports, Childress [...]
