The Star Tribune and Pioneer Press both reported yesterday that the Minnesota Vikings, if they do not trade back in the 1st round, will take a defensive lineman with the #12 overall pick. Scouts have been preaching that this draft has several top notch defensive lineman, including Robert Quinn from North Carolina, Marcell Dareus from Alabama, Nick Fairley from Auburn, and Da'Quan Bowers from Clemson. With Ray Edwards and Pat Williams most likely leaving via free agency, it leaves two vacant spots open for a rookie. I would not be surprised if we did draft a defensive lineman - as this spot is considered to have the most value, as opposed to taking Mallett or Locker, which would be for need.
