Fred Smoot/ Donovan Darius Both?

Well First of all the Latest Mock Draft on ESPN Insider

Has the Vikings taking Mike Williams at Number 7, and Carlos Rogers at 18. They probably will not look corner at 18 with the Smoot signing. I might look at someone like Brandon Browner who at 6-3, 215 would have the ability to play free-safety in the NFL. I don't know that they need anyone new on the D-Line, or LB. They could maybe use a G but no one is worth that pick. Maybe you look RB at 7, and than WR at 18, where Troy Williamson or Roddy White could be avalible. The reason I say they don't need a new LB isn't because they're good at linebacker, is because they have plenty of young, atheletic, undisicplined linebackers that I don't know they need to add another to the mix.

As far as Fred Smoot goes. Here's a Scouting Report

Strengths:
Ballhawk, Led Redskins in picks first three years in the league. Good enough athleticism to stay with receivers downfield. Great Leaping ability, and body control. Can change directions well. Physical enough to stay with receivers underneath.

Weaknesses: Consistency, tends to get over agressive at times. He's not the biggest player around.

Overall: Good move to sign ESPN's number 4 Free Agent, PFW's 30 ranked Free Agent. There is no way with this signing and the Williams signing that the Vikings D isn't much improved this year.

Rob Brezenki today stated the Vikings intrest after the Fred Smoot signing in Donovan Darius. This is according to the Star Tribune. Jacksonville wants any trade to be done quickly, so we will see with Donovan Darius.
