#SKOLnation needed help and has glaring needs at D-Line, Corner, and WR. Yes they picked up ex-Packer WR Greg Jennings but they needed to fill the void of CB Antione Winfield and PercyLand USA Harvin and they did just that. Now being Rooks from a productive standpoint obviously you won't get the same production but its a whale of a start for the Vikes.
2013 #SKOLnation Draft Picks and Stand Up! Twin Cities and Vikes Nation...
Round Pick Position Player School
1 23 DT Shariff Floyd Florida1 25 CB Xavier Rhodes Florida State
1 29 WR Cordarrelle Patterson Tennessee
4 23 OLB Gerald Hodges Penn State
5 22 Punter Jeff Locke UCLA
6 28 OG Jeff Baca UCLA
7 7 ILB Mike Mauti Penn State
7 8 OG Travis Bond UNC
7 23 DT Everett Bond Florida State
Floyd will immediately step in a presumed starter as he will be under the tutelage of former Stillwater Cowboy All-American and Perennial Pro Bowler Kevin Williams and should make an immediate impact on the Vikes D-Line.
Rhodes is the Prototype Big Corner who can run and played at CB "U" FSU with that Top 5 Nationally ranked Defense. After the Vikes lost Winfield it was inevitable to get a Corner but I think Linebacker was more of a Need as I had either ND's T'eo or UGA's Ogletree.
Patterson was all that in the Kansas Jayhawk Conference the #1 Ranked Juco Football Conference and set all kinds of Records and then went onto to Rocky Top Tennessee and ate up the SEC. Not a route Runner but a "YAC" and Explosive Player who is very elusive for his big frame. He is a Rich Man's Dwayne Bowe of the Chiefs.
The other Picks are Depth Players except the Penn State Backers Hodges and Mauti who should get a shot at the weakest position on the Vikes D...Linebacker.
Punter Locke should be a day One Starter as well but we are talking about the Kicker now...
#SKOLnation needed talent and got some Big-Time talent on the front end....Grade A+
