CDTShareTweetShareShareRe-living round 1 - The GMG 2019 Draft Party LIVE!Good morning Horners! If you want to laugh, and relive last night, you can watch round one of the 2019 NFL draft as presented live by the old men of Good Morning Gjallarhorn. We also had a few special guests: Ed, from the Skoldiers podcast, Darren “Soup” Campbell from the far northeast of Canada [and the old KickAss Blog] representing our friends north of the border, and the Grand Poobah, Christopher Gates. Fans from the Daily Norseman, Climbing The Pocket, and Facebook all gathered and watched the YouTube live event. It was a blast!What a night last night! Our beloved Minnesota Vikings selected Garrett Bradbury (@Gbradbury_11) with the #18 overall pick. The draft board fell absolutely beautifully to give Rick Spielman Minnesota Vikings Jerseys 2019 , Mike Zimmer, and Gary Kubiak a wide variety of options. The Vikings went on the clock at around the 2:19:00 mark. Ted Glover, Drew Bunting and myself started out the GMG live draft party and joked about what happens if Greedy Williams was available, and he was. Thankfully, so was Bradbury. Heck, Greedy is still available going into round two. LOL. “But so are some more offense of lineman, Dave!”Everyone that partook and chatted with us online, I want to give a big shout out. You all rock! To everyone else, what did you think of the Vikings selection?Like Olisaemeka Udoh Jersey nfl draft , subscribe, and ring that damn bell! Then shout SKOL! As always, enjoy the watch! When the Vikings drafted Brian O’Neill in the second round back in April, the view from most draft analysts was that he needed to add strength and some bulk before being NFL-ready, and needed some time to improve his technique as well-having been a converted tight-end with only three years experience as an offensive linemen at Pitt.In my draft break-down of O’Neill, I figured the Vikings would give him a year as a backup to improve his strength and technique before having him compete for a starting job.But over the course of training camp and pre-season, O’Neill looked to be progressing faster than that.He remained inconsistent, but it was becoming clear that at some point in the not too distant future, he would surpass Rashod Hill in overall performance.That time has arrived.Against the Cardinals on Sunday Minnesota Vikings Jerseys 2019 , O’Neill got his first start at right tackle, as Rashod Hill moved over to left tackle to replace the injured Riley Reiff.O’Neill had gotten 120 snaps at right tackle prior to that as well, and looked to be holding his own.On Sunday, O’Neill was the highest graded offensive lineman for the Vikings, according to Pro Football Focus, and is also now the highest graded offensive lineman on the season so far, narrowly edging out Riley Reiff.O’Neill has also outperformed Rashod Hill in all but one game Hill has played since becoming a starter for the Vikings.More than that, O’Neill has generally been improving as he get more reps, while Hill has declined as the season has progressed.All that being the case Olisaemeka Udoh Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , it makes sense for the Vikings to elevate Brian O’Neill to become the permanent starter at right tackle, and when Riley Reiff returns from his injury, designate Rashod Hill as the new swing tackle.Doing so should help take some of the pressure off of Kirk Cousins, and may also help the Vikings running game too.And for a Vikings offensive line that has ranked near the bottom of the league so far this season, an upgrade at right tackle is more than welcome.
