Your complete resource for information relating to the Minnesota Vikings. Just wondering if the NFL has ever explored a more technologically advanced way of submitting draft picks, trades, or any other information during a critical decision making and negotiating session such as the NFL draft. I can't get the image of an assistant of some kind, sitting at a desk off stage somewhere, with all the lines lit up and scratching messages on a legal pad. He or she is talking on line two, while the guy from Baltimore is trying to notify the league of a completed deal with the Vikings on line five. Time runs out, and like little kids first noticing the ice cream truck pulling over to the curb, Jacksonville and Carolina run up and hand in their choices on an index card. And why is it that the Commissioner paused for countless seconds last year when Jerry Jones' Cowboys were supposedly completing a trade, disallowing the next team (the Vikings) to turn in their pick, and this year he couldn't wait for a damn phone call to go through, and seemingly waved all the next teams in line up to the podium?
Whatever. We think the Vikings had an excellent draft. We also think that they have a little more planned for the next three months (another corner and/or receiever?), and that they are going to begin 2003 with a incredible starting lineup!
Also, although Kevin Williams' agent thinks that he deserves #7 money because the Vikings planned on drafting him at #7, can't the Vikings also claim that he deserves #10 money, 'cause that is what their ultimate intentions were? The fact is that he was picked #9, and that is what he deserves. "Would've", "could've", "should've" shouldn't matter!
