This weekend was the NFL Draft. This year was a little bit different in how the draft worked. With all the crap that is going on in the NFL nowadays and how the collective bargaining stuff is failing, the draft had to be run different. There were no players that were allowed to be traded, because technically the teams don't own the players right now.
This is besides my point. My favorite NFL team is the Minnesota Vikings. They were selecting 12th in this year's draft. They're biggest need or concern was the lack of a QB. There were a lot of QBs in this year's draft, and a lot of good options for the Vikings. Going in I knew that the best ones would be taken early, but I figured that the Vikings would be able to get one in the second round that still has a lot of talent.
The Vikings chose a different route. They saw that ahead of them, three QBs were taken and they panicked. This led to them choosing Christian Ponder at #12 overall. This is a QB that could have been drafted in the late second round or in the third round. I am appalled that they chose him so early on. It's just so frustrating, but, there is nothing I can do about it know except complain to people. Oh, well. Maybe he'll turn out to be something special later on. One can only hope.
