AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted April 13, 2012 Which would you rather have on your team? Viking are kind of in a similar position in this draft picking between Kalil and Blackmon (not sure I would call Blackmon elite though). Anyways, which would you rather have on your team? I would personally rather have an elite WR. Calvin Johnson > Joe Thomas IMO. I just feel like having an elite LT won't do much if you don't have talent around it, but an elite WR like Megatron can make offense by himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vikesfan1 11 Posted April 13, 2012 I put LT, but only cuz Blackmon isn't the all the great imo. If it was a wr like Calvin Johnson I would have gone for WR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NaTaS+ 958 Posted April 13, 2012 Build in the trenches. It's always going to be LT. I'd say after QB your next most important position is LT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FIDDYDEUCE 81 Posted April 13, 2012 Elite LT. No doubt having a weapon like Calvin Johnson is great but you need a QB to get him the ball. What good is a WR if your QB is getting blind-sided all day long. Efficient protection = efficient offense (of course without taking scheme into consideration) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted April 13, 2012 Depends on what happens to the other position. Does it have to be a weakness? If not, I'd definitely rather have an elite WR/solid LT than a solid WR/elite LT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GA_Eagle 595 Posted April 13, 2012 Elite whole offensive line vs an elite WR corps. But one player does not make a whole offensive line or a WR corps. As a single player I think a wideout has a bigger effect as a singular player than a singular offensive lineman on his. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omerta+ 1,206 Posted April 13, 2012 I see what is happening here and I understand the concept. But megatron is the once in a generation player and could go down as the greatest at his position ever (although tracking Jerry will be hard) If youre doing the Calvin comparison then you have to put them in the same class. Like Jonathan Ogden vs Calvin. That said though I would take LT all day. If your QB has six seconds to through somebody will break loose in coverage. If I am the vikings though I draft Kalil.
