Hutchinson a Viking !!!!

I didn't think this day would ever come but it looks like it is all over and Steve Hutchinson will be the starting LG for the Minnesota Vikings. This combined with the return of Matt Birk greatly improves the Vikings' interior O-line from horrendous to awesome. To go from Goldberg and Withrow to Hutchinson and Birk is going from a 3 to a 9.5 .

It also appears that Stephen Neal of the Patriots could sing with the Vikings to be their starting RG. Neal will be having his second visit tommorrow with the Vikings. Neal's a solid starting NFL G. He's better as a run-blocker than a pass blocker.

The Vikings are also making an effort to sign Cheifs FB Tony Richardson. Although's he's better blocking than getting into the flat, than as a lead blocker.

But these moves show the Vikings are serious about running the ball next year. How well will it work we shall see.

At this point in time I see the Vikings targeting LB in the draft especially Flordia State's Ernie Sims. Although the possibility of a trade up for a QB seems possible. But from what I'm hearing both Matt Leinart and Jay Cutler will go Top 5, leaving the Vikings with little ammo hear.

Rumors have the Vikings being intrested in Matt Schaub of the Falcons. I like Schaub as a QB he moves well in the pocket, with good accuracy, and is a nice fit for what the Vikings want to run. He is a better bet than what the Vikings could draft in round 2 of the draft. I would give a 2nd and a 3rd in 2006 for Schaub. Am I saying that Schaub is better than Culpepper? NO, but I am speaking as to what I see his value being as opposed to the Vikings giving away Daunte.
