The Vikings are on the clock...

Over at Steelers Fever, every year, teegre & I would coordinate a "Steelers Fever Consensus Mock Draft".

We would start with the first pick... with a thread, a poll, and a discussion. The poll/thread would be up for 12 hours, and then, we'd move on to the next team. So on & so forth until we would get to Pittsburgh's selection, where the poll would stay open for several days.

Why??? This will allow for us to get a sense of who might ACTUALLY be there at pick #25. No joke: we've come pretty close every single year. Have fun with it.

So... as not to break tradition...

"First Annual Steelers Universe Consensus Mock Draft".

2. PHI: Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota St. (trade)

Ok, NOW Will Fuller comes off.

everyone trying to box Adrian Peterson is going to pay a heavy toll. Pick your poison.

Definitely a WR here. Holy shit, Billings might actually be there at 25.

Nah, just kidding, the Bengals will fuck it up and we'll take Apple. That would actually make me mad enough to go outside and kick a dog or two.

Bridgewater doesn't have a big arm. They just let a pure speed receiver go in Mike Wallace.

I think they are looking for a big, strong WR that can make all the tough catches and has enough speed to make plays downfield. They can add a speed receiver later.

I have a feeling they like Josh Doctson WR, TCU

He has great hands, and will be able to make tough, acrobatic catches because he has amazing body control as well. I think he's a good fit for the Vikings.

Last year they gave up a fifth to get Mike only runs in a straight line and doesn't fight for contested balls Wallace to try and solve their WR issues. Since that obviously failed, they will draft one in round one and get Will Fuler

I agree. I think they'd go with the longer frame in Doctson to compliment Stefon Diggs.

I agree with Doctson.

NOTE: All votes have have been for a WR

I'll check this thread in another hour or so; if it is still obviously Fuller, I'll start the new poll.
