Fair enough, I think one can definitely make the case that either of Hernandez or Daniels could have been BPA compared to Hughes so I wouldn't have had any issue had they gone that route. I just don't think it's something that needs to be continuously bumped because had they taken him I don't think they take O'Neill in the 2nd OR had they taken both of them last year I don't think they would take Bradbury this year.B-Town wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 12:07 pmI'm not saying it would have or it wouldn't have. Nobody can know the answer. I'm just saying that OL was the most reasonable pick in the 2018 1st round, and the Vikings decided to draft yet another DB.Oriole81 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 9:55 amI understand, but do you really think it would have happened though? There was alot of good defensive players on the board when O'Neill was picked, including Lorenzo Carter who could have allowed us to move on from Barr. I think we would have taken him, or there was a really good safety prospect (Sendejo replacement) in Justin Reid, though that's less of an issue now with Harris stepping up.B-Town wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 3:52 pm
This point is fair, but to the many that have been beating the drum for OL help for the last 5 years, taking an OL player in the 1st and 2nd last year would have been welcome. And we don't know if it's worked out. All wee know is that the Vikings legitimately tried to fix 1 position and took a flyer Kline.
We'll see what happens though.
