I've listed the previous 30 first round draft picks by the Vikings. The ones highlighted in bold are, in my opinion, first round flops. Nine out of 30 first round picks have been flops which is 30%. Us giving up a first round pick for Bradford is worth it. They're never a guarantee. Let's surround the current talent we have now with a QB that at least has the potential to do well and not just be a game manager. Bradford had zero protection with the Rams and Chip Kelly's flashcard offense in Philly was just plain dumb. Hopefully he can stay healthy. Hey Bnag you NEED to post that Troy Williamson photo you once had.
