The Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers focused on defense through the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft. Green Bay had one pick at 26, while Minnesota entered last night with two picks (23, 25) after earning an extra in the Percy Harvin trade.
The NFL Draft is only a couple days away, and football-starved fans can hardly wait to see who their favorite team picks through the weekend festivities. Thanks in part to the Percy Harvin trade with Seattle, the Vikings have two draft picks in the first round: 23 and 25
April 26, 2012 The Green Bay Packers wanted another pass rusher to compliment Clay Matthews and they feel the got one in USC's Nick Perry. Some people question his consistency, but he did play for a program that tends to generate pro productive pro athletes. What do you think, Packer fans?
April 5, 2012 I love to follow the drama that is the NFL Draft. I have been reading so many mock drafts that have the Vikings taking the very safe and good pick in OT Matt Kalil. Then there are those who think the Vikings should roll the dice with flashy WR Justin Blackmon.
April 29, 2011 I was watching the NFL Draft last night and when the Vikings took Florida State QB Christian Ponder with the 12th overall selection, the mood of those I was watching with was not great. There were several well known names on the defensive side of the ball still available to take, but the Vikings wanted a QB. They liked Ponder and didn't want to lose him to Washington, who were poised to take him 4 picks later if you believe that rumor. CBS Sports graded the Vikings pick an "A" as they are high on Ponder too, but there are many fans who need a lot of convincing on taking him so high.
