Word. See, Vikings were at a point where they could have picked anyone they wanted from any position, you understand, they had the choice of the best at several positions, as one of the 2 elite tackles went... um, 2 QBs, and I think quentin jammer... and some other players, but basically, all the elite blue-chippers were still available...

By the time the Bengals picked, they didn't have the opportunity to pick up a blue chip prospect, so they should have looked for "best available," since there were many players better than Jones at the time.

Now, the Vikings having #7 and picking Kevin Williams was a stretch, since he was what, the 4th DT taken last year? But then I won't doubt that ONE BIT since he turned out to be the BEST DT of last year's draft.

However, what if the best HB was a 3rd-round talent, but was your #1 need. Would you get him in the first round?

That's all I'm saying about Jones. At least trade down and get an extra pick if you're going to get someone nobody else would have drafted...
