Vikings leaning towards taking Z.Mettenberger in the 2nd Rd.

Draft insider Tony Pauline is reporting that the Vikings are "heavily leaning towards" taking LSU QB Zach Mettenberger in the second round because they want an LB such as Buffalo's Khalil Mack in the first.

The Vikes desperately need a franchise signal-caller, but they also have a huge need for an edge rusher capable of disrupting opposing passing games. Coach Mike Zimmer's nights are presumably interrupted with nightmares of being helplessly carved up by Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford. Mack would afford the team a massive upgrade on the outside if Minnesota allots Mettenberger a grade not far below the top four QBs. Mettenberger could be a good fit in Norv Turner's vertical passing game, as Rotoworld's Josh Norris discussed in a recent "Draft Needs" video.

Would be an interesting fit for Mett. Arguably the best tailback in the game in AP and two quality wide receivers [Jennings & Patterson].

I like it. Then they acquire Pep Livingston to be their Chris Doleman.

I hope not for Mett's sake. The Vikings are a shite show.

quote:No they aren't. They just haven't had a QB since Favre's magical season in '09. Zimmer's one of the best defensive minds in the game and N.Turner will probably be able to get the best out of Mett. This is a prime landing spot for him.

It will be interesting to see how far Derek Carr falls. Because the Vikings [as well as a few other teams] should consider him as well.

Its a good spot for him.

If he goes there or St Louis i'll be happy

Wow. That would be awesome for Mett.

I just hope he goes to a team with a good offensive line. I think that's the make or break factor with Mett. If he gets with a team like what Jay Cutler has had to put up with in Chicago, he'll never make it.

Jennings is a bum at this point in his career
Patterson is a freak athlete but raw - concerns over route running and hands

Would be a great fit for them. Best RB in the game and a good OL, play action vertical passing game with Norv Turner. And has 2 promising young players in Patterson and Rudolph.

As a Viking fan, they have been a shite show on D the past few seasons. Also the QB play looks bad because we had either A. Ponder who doesn't understand how to look at different wr's instead of running or B. Castle who is a good qb if he was a back up but starter he is not. With o line besides the Johnson our guard who we let go it will be a good o line. They have the best RB in the league and one of the best young wr's group(Patterson, Jennings, Wright) and TE (Rudolph). I expect if we get Mett he will be a good QB hopefully great!

This would be golden for LSU recruiting.

Having a QB go 1-1 in the past decade sure hasn't seemed to help...
