Viking Draft '05

Just some quick thoughts on the draft...

As mentioned previously, if the brain trust does not take a wide-out on their 1st pick (most likely Mike Williams, USC) they will feel the sting of my wrath.

This time last year receiver was our deepest position, this year it's running back.

We have 3 very good running backs, any one of which is potentially great, but Tice (I'm starting to not be a Tice guy, which is ironic, because as the team keeps improving, he keeps looking dumber) misuses them like Gardy does with his charges.

Tice & Studwell (who was once my favorite player) have the savy sophistication of a sledgehammer. They just make me nervous. I mean, the Sheriff could be an idiot, but at least not 24/7. He picked nutjob Demetrius Underwood in the first round, but he had already picked Dante, so I say, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.

Word is that Dred McCombs really likes RB Cedric Benson from Texas.

Great.

Yeah, that's just what we need, 4 running backs (and this doesn't even count all-everything Moe Williams.)

That makes about as much sense as the Twins keeping 4 catchers, which happens to be insane.

What next?

Have the Wild carry 4 goalies & the Wolves carry 4 centers?

Where will the insanity end?

And to think, it was all started by the sanest of our pro sports franchises- the Twins.

Thanks Gardy, for really getting some mileage out of that Oklahoma dust-bowl brain of yours.
