Brinkley got abused in coverage against Detroit.

I wouldnt be surprised if the need for an athletic MLB catches up with the need for a WR.

Just to provide some balance to the argument that our offensive guards suck, we currently have the leading rusher in the NFL for the first time since 2008, a guy that admits he's not 100% back from his knee injury. It's a unit starting 2 new players, and one guy who moved positions, so essentially 3 out of 5 have been reshuffled.

I did notice interior pressure from Fairley and Suh mucking up a few passing plays, I also noticed Ponder stepping up and still making throws, a QB helping out his O-line.

Hey guys big Vikes fan here. This is my first post but anyways who are your guys favorite underclassmen receivers that maybe we'd draft in 2014?? I like Amari Cooper of Alabama. Marquis Lee would also pay dividends for us.. Thoughts??

I ask that because I really don't think there will be good value where we are picking in the 1st round to pick a receiver. Plus nobody in the 1st really jumps out at me.. Would love Coleman, Patterson, or Rogers in the 2nd though..

I was not sure where to post this but wanted to say something about this Manziel kid from Texas A & M. Manziel is the QB I hope we are in position to get in 3 years ! He is amazing with both passing and running. I watched the Alabama game and was just WOW'd. He is just a freshman which impressed me all the more.

The last time I felt this strong when watching a freshman it was a kid named Adrian Peterson in his freshman year at Oklahoma. I hope it works out with Manziel like it did with Peterson Smile

I just finished watching the last two Tennessee games (vs. Troy, vs. Missouri). Those teams aren't good by any means, but Hunter complete went off in those games, to the tune of 322 yards and 4 touchdowns.

More promising yet is the damage he did on deep routes. Where Patterson mostly contributed like Harvin does (RB, returner, YAC routes), Hunter caught several deep jump-balls, and overall seemed to make more plays down the field. Great hands, elite speed, and elite short-area quickness as well for such a big guy.

Based on his elite athleticism, frame, and the flashes he's shown, I wouldn't be surprised if he challenges Keenan Allen for the #1 ranked reciever going into the draft.

Pough: “I don’t care where I go. I don’t care if I get drafted or in free agency, I don’t care what team I play for — I’ll go play butt naked in Green Bay in February, you know, just for an opportunity,” he said. “And that’s really what it comes down to. I’m so passionate about the game, it doesn’t matter who I play for. I’m just gonna be the best linebacker, teammate, special teamer on that team.”
