It would appear we are remarkably improved on defense, any way you slice it. It'll be fun to see just how much in the next few games.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
Adrian Peterson. He went to Oklahoma. Baker Mayfield. He's at Oklahoma. Saints take Baker Mayfield with the 32nd pick in the NFL Draft next year.
Or we take Lamar Jackson in the 2nd or 3rd after everybody doubts his ability to play QB at the next level. AP goes for 150 first game and 3 TDs. |

Having watched those games fairly closely, the Vikes held out many starters from all of the preseason games or gave them just a handful of snaps. I'm not saying they are world-beaters - just trying to keep a cool head. Sent from my FRD-L19 using Tapatalk |

Gunslinger, ability to rally the troops (see OSU game last night). I see a lot of Derek Carr in him. Baker could possibly become the 1st QB taken. If he keeps playing at a high level, highly unlikely he drops out of the top 10.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
I think they'll keep the kids from USC and Wyoming ahead of him because of his size, but I like him too. He's got swag.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
While I wish AP the best, who I really want to see stick it to the Vikings, is Kamara. The young man touched the ball like 4 times in preseason, and each time it was electrifying.
