2008 Draft Here We Come!

Sorry I haven't been around in a while, something personal came up. But now I'm back!

Another day, another Viking loss. Anyone else see a trend here? I don't expect anything different from the Purple People in two weeks in Chicago.

Seriously, though, I really can't see how we can win a game with the way we've been playing. Holcomb overthrowing Williamson on a sure-fire TD, Peterson getting banged up in the middle, Holcomb attempting to stand in the pocket for as long as possible before he has to shuffle pass to no one in particular. I just don 't see us winning under Childress or Holcomb. Wolf will have to seriously look at the management of this team and consider his options this off-season (when he's not contemplating who to draft with his top 5 draft pick).

On a good note, though, is the fact that we're almost given a good player next year, no matter who we draft. There are still lots of teams worse than us record-wise, but none with more problems than the Purple People Eaters.

About next years draft; people are saying Brian Brohm will be the way to go for us, now that our Tarvaris experiment failed. Well, it hasn't, yet, so we can get somebody else. Not McFadden, or any other RB or QB. Other than that, we have needs at every other position. The Viking's will get much needed help from the college world.

I don't know about you, but I've already discounted this season, and am looking forward to the next when we have new rookies, hopefully new management, and a clean slate.

Jackson will probably start our next game at Chicago, which is after our Week 5 bye. This is a great thing, it'll let Jackson get more accustomed to massive blitzes (though maybe not in Chicago), something he will need to get a handle on if he even wants to dream about starting in the NFL.

So, for now, go Viking's, but don't screw our prime chance at a good draft pick!
