Vikings 2012 Draft - First 2 days recap

Wow! What a draft so far for the Vikings. The first move came an hour before Round 1 started.. Trading back 1 spot with Cleveland into the 4th overall pick and picking up picks 118 (4th), 139 (5th) and 211 (7th), giving the Vikings 10 total picks for the 3rd day of the draft. Using the 4th pick they drafted LT Matt Kalil, worth of a grade A+ for getting a franchise tackle to protect Ponder. Then as time went on, they traded their 2nd round (35th) pick and 4th round (98th) pick to get the Ravens 29th overall pick in the 1st round to bolster our secondary by picking S Harrison Smith. This is worth an A grade. This slowed down day 2 and I was surprised the Vikings didn't trade back up into the 2nd round, but their patience paid off. Even though I had WR Mohamed Sanu mocked for our 3rd Round pick, the Vikings selected CB Josh Robinson. This is another excellent pick, still bolstering the Vikings' secondary. All 3 players are likely to be starts, with Kalil and Smith being plug-n-play picks and Robinson being a likely starter for our secondary and returning! Robinson likely could have been a mid 2nd round pick so it was a steal to fall to the Vikings for the 66th overall pick. So far Spielman has surprised me with this draft and done an excellent job!! I know I'm not the only one excited to see what Rounds 4-7 bring!
