Wed. Thoughts

* Vince Young will be Number 1 on my draftboard. Reggie Bush is more of a receiver than a runner against NFL Speed. Matt Leinart doesn't have great footwork. Vince Young has improved enough as a passer in the pocket, to go around with freakish running abilty. If I was the Houston Texans-I would take him Number 1.

*Lendale White-I would consider with the 17th pick for the Vikings, if he runs under 4.6 in the 40. But I wonder if he would be best served in a tandem with someone like Mewelde Moore.

*The Vikings interviewed Jim Caldwell and Ted Cotrell. But haven't made contact with Ron Rivera or Kirk Ferentz from what I can gather. Though according to the Star Tribune, Kirk Ferentz is on the list for the Vikings. If they happen to lose their top candidate Brad Childress. Jim Souhan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune was dead on FSN Live, when he said that Rivera and Ferentz were the top two candidates on the market. You interview Caldwell-who was a below average College coach at Wake Forest, and Ted Cotrell who is probably a medicore def.coordinator. I would argue the Vikings need a regime shake-up than Cotrell doesn't offer.

*From a few reports I have seen Brad Childress is at the head of the list for the Vikings, and might get a contract offer soon. Childress might be a fine coach. He has worked under some good coaches (Barry Alvarez, and Andy Reid). The Eagles aren't a great offensive team. Childress doesn't seem to have any speciality or track-record that makes him super-appealing, nor a real fiery personality. Childress is supposed to be good with X's and O's which was Mike Tice's big weakness. Childress is supposed to be a solid teacher. I have questions about what type of staff Childress would assemble in Minnesota, though it probably wouldn't be any worse.

*Rumors have it that the Packers might seek to interview Mike Tice for their Head-Coaching position. KFAN has even reported it, there will be more on this story as it develops.
