LSU QB Zach Mettenberger dined with four Vikings officials following his Wednesday Pro Day. A league source told beat writer Ben Goessling that OC Norv Turner was "calling out routes" he wanted Mettenberger to throw by the end of his workout. Per Goessling, the Vikings are "believed to be high on Mettenberger," who is a classic, big-armed pocket passer in the Troy Aikman-Philip Rivers mold. Turner was Aikman's coordinator in Dallas, and Rivers' head coach in San Diego.


Per roto

This sounds like a great fit for Mett if he falls to them in the second, but i think his draft stock is sky rocketing right now

Mett is a lot like Rivers. Turner would be a great OC for him but he changes teams so much.

Good to see all this love for Zach. I bet a team trades up into the bottom of the first round and grabs him before those teams at the top of the second round can draft him

His fast recovery has a lot to do with the love as well IMO. The fact that he may be ready to play physically in year one will attract more teams his way.

I like the Vikings would be a good place for ZM...anywhere but Oakland.

Dude on CBS radio this morning saying Texans are better off with Clowney in 1st and Mett in 2nd rather than JFF in 1st and whatever DE in 2nd....

Per ESPN INsider (Public portion of the article):

quote:

Quarterbacks such as Central Florida's Blake Bortles, LSU's Zach Mettenberger and Fresno State's Derek Carr aren't expected to be at the event; the Vikings met with all of them, as well as Alabama's AJ McCarron and Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel after their on-campus pro days. Those meetings, or private workouts like the ones the Vikings had with San Jose State quarterback David Fales, can often be as helpful as the Vikings' event next week. But as the draft gets closer, the Vikings will use many of their visits to spend time with a wide range of prospects who could be taken anywhere from the first round to the middle of the draft.


Looks like all the top QBs got similar visits.
