Mike Zimmer Shares His Thoughts on Selecting Christian Darrisaw 23rd Overall | 2021 NFL Draft

Fields to bears is a problem

You do realize that corner is very good right? 4.25 40 yard dash, good cover skills, hes a beast.

@Call me Sifu sounds like you’re talking about josh Robinson to me and let’s look at how he panned out…. oh yeah he didnt

@Tyler Hawthorne I wouldnt say that yet. No QB is a sure thing. Could be Trubisky 2.0

@Name I’m a UGA fan and while the pick was hilarious, I’m definitely worried he’s gonna become a stud. The kid’s really good and did some nice work against top receivers.

He’s only happy now that it’s time to draft defense

You mean safety. The CB positions are filled. We need Safeties, DE and Linebackers.

@7th Orisha WRs 3 and 4 day three please

@FakeUser NameTwo we need Interior O Line

@Not Surge the Notre dame kid seem like a nice prospect for a team looking for a solid 10+ year pro at the tackle position, but the Vikings now have three starting caliber tackles (Cleveland, Darrisaw, and O’Neill), two young talented prospects (Udoh and Brandel) and one veteran seing tackle (Hill).
How many more tackles do the Vikings need? Let’s check out some guards instead of trying to dump another tackle into the interior line…We already have Ezra playing out of position.

Tbh I prefer four 3rd rounders better odds of hitting

JOK

We are in a position to trade up to 33 if we wanted.

Asante Samuel Jr

@Tim Farney he has all the measurables, great tape, pedigree and if you listen to what his coaches and teammates say about him he seems like an elite level leader (which our online room desperately needs) and I’ve heard at least 5 so called experts say that he would be a for sure top 12 pick if not for the medicals. I think his presence alone would help our line more than any of our coaches. Just my opinion though and I’m anxious to see what he becomes

@Tim Farney also I’m a fan of a lot of these guards so I won’t be complaining if they get a different one because the medicals on dickerson come with legit risk. Boom or bust with him for sure

@Tim Farney I’m pretty sure saban said hes the best offensive lineman hes ever coached and that guy has sent a lot of elite prospects to the nfl

@Squirt Reynolds i have also heard very positive things about his presence, and leadership. I would be very happy if they were to pick him — then just cross my fingers he can stay relatively healthy. I have no doubts whatsoever about his ability.

@Tim Farney word, my plan would be to get him then a guy like Davis Clevland or Merinez in the third to allow landon to take a year to get his body right and deploy him when hes ready. I want this guy in the middle controlling our line, unless something changes I dont think bradbury is the guy to control the LOS.

We are in rebuilding now that Cousins is making the amount of money he does. Hopefully in round 2 we can acquire the QB that will luckily take Cousin’s place after this season. Cousins leaving ASAP is very important.

Ronnie Perkins is a guy I would love to see the Vikings trade into the second round and get

I thought the colts were going to take darrisaw which would have left us with paye or oweh. I would have been fine with any of the 3 given the thirds we added. Trade up a little if asante samuel jr falls and hope landon dickerson makes it to the third round

Milton Williams please

Facts 💯😂

EXACTLY.
Sometimes it feels like they’re trying to gather a 5×100 relay team. So now they have one starter with some legitimate natural power. The only other linemen who have (reportedly) functional STRENGTH/ANCHOR are buried on the bench (Hinton and Udoh).. who know whether they’ll see the field at all this year…
So, why not bring in a guard who can not just move his feet, but MOVE PEOPLE as well…

@JB Moore Brian O’Neill is a great pass-protector though

We will get a defensive guy in the second round after we train for a second round pick.
