Brendon Rice. Son of jerry. Similar college attributes as dad. He was productive at usc. Great hands catcher if a bit plodding.
Beavers Anthony Gould. Dude is wes welker 2024.
Hed make a really interesting & 3.
Ryan Flourney se mizzou st. Small college superstar since we were just duscussing Jerry Rice. Big ass dude. With great hands.
Jacob Cowing AZ. like Gould hes small. Unlike gould. The meadurables arent anything to crow about. However. If he smells the goaline, he had an uncanny knack of slithering in through 3 or 4 tacklers. Very productive 4 year starter, but nobody can figure out why. He neither quick nor fast. Runs good routes. Finds zone holes "football player".
Brandon Powell is the #3 right now. Literal junk behind powell. Vikes need some upside depth behind JJ gamstring & addison. Hockinson isnt projected to return until thnksgiving.
Speaking of TE- it might be position group of value on day 3. A few upside big te's that project as 3rd- 4th rounders. Which us the area where alot of db's, 2nd tier wr's and all of the inside line backers are projected to go.
Brevyn Spann Ford is a monster big te, that never lived up to expecations for gophers. But. The gophers never had a qb worth a dam. Gooher fans, like me, would love to see a viking pick land on spann-ford. His 4.77 combine 40 dropped him to a 7th round prospect. A gift for us homers perhaps.
Erik All. Iowa te unniversity.
Not the typical iowa te. BC he didnt hold up to big 10 punishment. Back injury in 22. Acl tear in 23. Bc of medicals- hes a late round flyer that might not be available until /late 24 or even 2025.
Theo Jackson penn state & Cade stover ohio state are conversions to te. Lumbering giants 6-7& 6-6.
Jackson slightly faster, stover a bit more athletic.
All of these guys are in the Kyle Rudolph model instead of the envogue fast & crisp route running of someone like Sam Laporta.
Maybe theyre better off grabbing a big plodding wr like keon coleman to be a pass catching TE/Big Slot.
Rb should be full of many of its top prospects in round 4. Blake corum is projected as a 4th rounder. Maybe grab Corum in lieu of finally dumping nwangwu?
Ty chandler & aaron jones is a good starting pair. McBride getting on the field is a sleeper idea at having a 3 headed beast. Miles Gaskin & Nwengwu fill out the room. Buth both of those guys are wasted roster positions. Kickoff rules be damned. The viking need a leroy hoard... You need a yard- he gets 3. You need 3, he gets 3, you need 5 he gets 3.
Kentucky/toledo rb Ray Davis. 5-8 215 rb that stays low & behind his pads. Some mjd in his game, but lesser speed.
Audric Esteme, Notre Dame. One opposing coach described taking him down- he's like tackling a compact car. 5-11 220. " Brick house" less hesitation at the line than that Mattison feller.
Jase McClellan 5-10 225 brick shithouse rarely used by the crimson tide. Punishing goal line- put the game away back in the leroy hoard tradition.
Then theres Georgia Kendall Milton. 6-1.5 225.
Exclusively ran between the tackles for georgia. Blows ppl up on contact & falls forward.
"If" leroy Hoard is in this draft, his name is Ken Milton. You couldnt pay me enough to take milton on 1x1. Timed with a sun dial. If the above are brick shithouses- milton is a brick tank that will get you 3 yards regardless of the ask. Lots of tread left on these backs. All were rarely used. Yet, in the nfl. Executing the 4&6 minute drills is often the difference between a w & an L.
