Vikings Spin's Mock Draft V1

As mentioned in the article this draft assumes the Vikings acquire Trent Williams in a trade

1)1st Round - I don't think it's realistic that Fulton falls to our first pick, but it sure would be a perfect fit for a Zim lead team, even with Capers as the DC

2) 1st Round/2nd Round - I like Reagor, but only if we can move back and get him by picking up extra picks in the process.  He reminds me of Emmanuel Sanders, just a better return man that is sorely needed on the Vikings

3) 2nd Round - I really do not like the idea of adding Hunt here as he projects as a 3-4th rounder.  I do like his position flexibility and versatility in playing G/RT and that he would fit the zone blocking scheme well.  I would only scoop up Ruiz here if you wanted to go guard, but he will most likely be gone by this pick; if not, he'd be a steal.  At this pick, I'd look to pick up another CB, DT, or DE.  The guy I would love to grab here is Zack Baun from Wisconsin.  I love his ability to play with his hand down or standing up.  His football IQ is fantastic and reminds me of Kendricks in relying on his instincts at times.  But with Capers at the helm, and not knowing what formation will be used, he could provide some incredible versatility to that realm.

4) 
3rd Round - Zuniga is a powerful monster, but this pick is a little too early for him, IMO.  I see him in the 4th or after.  I like Cameron Dantzler CB here.  He fits the Zone scheme and we need some more depth in the secondary after letting most of them go.  Otherwise, best QB available

5) 3rd Round - Ezra Cleveland OT/Best QB available 

6) 4th Round - I like your pick Murchison

7) 5th Round - I like your pick in Wallace

8) 6th Round - McDonald Yuck

9) 6th Round - Corbin would be fun as he reminds me of one of my favorites...Darren Sproles.  This dude is electric and shifty, but he needs work on his passing catching

Thanks for the great feedback Ice!

I will check out Zack Baun for sure.

Interesting points about Capers.  I do wonder how the defense could change a bit with him here if that means we will run a hybrid 4-3/3-4 with more zone looks.

I love the Fulton pick.

Too many good WRs in the draft to take one in the first round. Get OL, DT, or DE with the #25 pick.

Much better linemen out there than Hunt and Lemiuex. 

Jabari is the only other pick I like from the remaining picks.

How do you differentiate between "this guy is ok as a late 3rd but J. Moke is better in this slot"? My game is grappling, and I can tell a good grappler from a decent one in about thirty seconds of watching these supreme athletes. Do you factor in that while a player owns his opponent that the team may suck so drop him some slots? In my game, smarts an attitude trump uber athlete, but a real ripper wins out, as a rule. Translated, give me the solid athlete with a nasty as !@#$% attitude and smarts out the ying over the guy who it comes easy too, unless they are a Moss, Mack, or what have you. Do the mocks have this type of bias as well? Would seem natural, some guys lean towards the uber athlete over all, some like a heaping helping of 'tude, some the technicians.
