Based on most early mock drafts, it looks like the Vikings and the Colts are going to be choosing between Maroney and the guy from Memphis (name slips my mind.)
If both are available for the Vikes, I would be surprised if they passed on Maroney, just based on the hometown thing. Like when the Lynx wouldn't trade up and get Lindsey Whalen. Also, I don't think Maroney is the best fit for the Colts (ie he wouldn't look cool in their uniforms)
By the way, Marion Barbed III is a huge badass in the Cowboys uniforms. The cool part about him is that he is actually from Minnesota, not just some import from Ohio like the rest of the Gophers.
Another amusing tidbit, a guy from my high school signed with the Gophers last week and is probably Caputo's heir apparent. I was just scanning and looking through the Big 10 for other Minnesotans, and he was Minnesota's third best sign but on Ohio State he would have been one of the bottom five. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
