Donovan Warren, CB/S, Michigan  (6’ 0” at 185 pounds)

Warren is one of the larger corners in this draft class, but his attributes are not all physical.  Despite his size, Warren has deceptive speed, a great closing [...]

I just wanted to let you all know that I am taking this weekend off.  Mrs. Warwas and I are headed to the big city with some close friends to just “get away” from the daily grind for a while… which unfortunately will include updating Vikings Gab.

One rumor that spread like wildfire on Tuesday was that the Vikings divisional rival Chicago Bears have defensive end Julius Peppers on top of their wish list for the 2010 offseason.
The Bears were struck by tragedy when defensive end Gaines Adams passed away at the end of the 2009 season.  This left a pressing need [...]
