Steve Joachim Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 And what do you hope Santa will bring your team this year? An immovable DE? A fleet of foot WR? A knock the snot out of them Safety? My Packers (correct usage of the word "My", I'm an owner thank you very much) really need an outside linebacker to compliment Clay Matthews, and help take the double teams off of him. I would also like to get a stud tackle and some depth on the O line. I am hoping to get at least one of these issues resolved on the first day. For some reason, my wife and daughter have declined my invitation to join me on the couch for the first round tonight. Sometimes I just don't understand them.

John Blankenship Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Steve, I think it just means that your family is trusting that you'll make the right "armchair decision." Consider it a compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atheisticmystic Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 An immovable DE? A fleet of foot WR? A knock the snot out of them Safety? . I know Im a sports illiterate, but that was kind of like reading a discussion about electromagnetism between Larry Fisher and the Senator.

Joshua Anderson Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 As a Vikings fan, I'll be happy with someone who is on the roster for the first game. A wide receiver who can catch would be nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wide receiver who can catch would be nice too. You got him. His name is Greg Jennings. He played for us last year and, now that Percy Harvin is gone, he will probably be your #1 guy. We are going to miss him in GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecrabb Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 As a fellow owner, Steve, I put in my vote for a little depth on the offensive line. It would be nice to have a semblance of a running game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Topham III Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 im with Josh here im a vikings fan as well and after the crazy first round i must say i am very happy with what we did. lets see how the rest of it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Anderson Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Rich, I didn't know you were a Vikings fan! Ever make it over to Bar None on 3rd Ave on Sundays? It's a Viking bar in the front and a Saints bar in the back. I can't imagine what that was like during the 2009-10 Conference Championship game. Anyways...yes, THREE 1st round picks!! What?! I think they're still short a middle linebacker and don't pick again in the draft until the night before the season starts...but after a surprising run to the play-offs last year, things are looking like the team is rebuilding well. Skol!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Joachim Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Yea, the Vikings made quite a splash. I don't know about giving up all those picks tho. This is a really deep draft and, there is a lot to be had in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Still, it sure is fun to see it start to come together. Go Pack!

Joshua Anderson Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Just like with any first round pick, the pressure will be on to prove they weren't bad picks or busts. And the Vikings have a history of really shining in that department (see D. Underwood and T. Williamson). But with all those picks spent to get back into the 1st round, the GM will definitely need that WR to come out looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael P Clark Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Eddie Lacy, Steve....Eddie Lacy! Lets get a running game going! And they definitely helped Clay with Dante Jones. Bring on the season! Packer Owner (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to have a semblance of a running game. Eddy Lacey in round one, and that Franklin kid from UCLA in round four, I think. I think we may have gotten our wish this year.

Is that vs the Giants? Keep me in the loop as you look for tickets! I think the last Vikings game I was at was the playoff game versus the Saints at the Metrodome in 2000 (2001?) - the game before that 41-0 embarrassment against the Giants (I had to work that night, so I taped the game to watch later. I was pretty sure the Vikings would beat the Giants. I was living with some Giants fans at the time - they were happy for the VHS tape).
