My worst fear

I think we'd be fine if we made that trade. Consider the following

Oakland-Russell
Detroit-Adams
Cleveland-Peterson
Tampa-Johnson
Arizona-Thomas
Redskins-trade pick to Dolphins, Fins select Quinn
Vikings-Anderson, Landry, or Okoye
Falcons-probably Landry if he's not taken

So at 9 we'd still have a shot of Landry or Okoye. And if not there's Jamaal Anderson (who's no slouch imo) plus another day one pick

I make this trade

For Okoye or Landry to get past the Vikings and the Falcons would be nothing short of a miracle.

But the Vikings have been stocking up on D-line picks for the past few years. Kenechi Udeze, Kevin Williams, Erasmus James ... come to think of it, with all those top draft picks going to highly touted D-linemen, Minnesota should have one of the best front fours in all of football shouldn't they?

Judging by that, you'd think they'd lean towards offense. After Russell, CJ, Quinn and Peterson, who's the next offensive skill type player to go in the #7-#10 range? Isn't there a good chance that the Vikings could try to outbid the Dolphins for a shot at Brady Quinn?

Yeah there is a good shot. The four names I keep hearing rotating at the top of the Vikings list are Quinn, Peterson, Landry and then the "wild card" is Ted Ginn. They were high on Ginn a while back, not sure how much they still are.
