With the #12 overall selection, the Minnesota Vikings suprised the world by drafting Florida State Seminole quarterback Christian Ponder. Ponder was "projected" to be a late 1st rounder or early second rounder. I have never been one for projections and draft grades, considering Troy Williamson was drafted #7 by the Minnesota Vikings and Tom Brady went in the 6th round to the New England Patriots. I like the move personally. I was hoping for Jake Locker or Blaine Gabbert, but as both were selected, I am glad we took Ponder. We need a quarterback and we finally addressed it in a draft. If they like the kid, than take him. Don't trade down and hope for the best, because some team may trade up and beat you to it. Welcome Christian.
