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.



quote:

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

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.
