Well i dont think we are going to get Gabbert, and I personally dont want Newton; and with question marks at all the other quarterbacks in the draft why not use one of our 5th round picks and snag a hometown boy. Last year there was a little talk about grabbing Decker, which we didnt do and with all the injuries to the WR core last year we definately could have used him. I was real big on Decker coming out of the draft last year mainly because of the fact he would have been the Vikings version of Joe Mauer. With another opportunity with Weber, I dont see what we have to lose. At 6'3" 220 lbs, he seems to have the size. With 50 starts, he seems to have the experience; and with 56 touchdowns he seems to have the arm. Today Spielman is at the pro day with Weber and with Spielman choosing to go to the Gopher's pro day as opposed to Auburn or Arkansas - I think he is contemplating the same thing. So what do you think - draft weber? Get our hometown hero?
THAT'S THE GREATEST THING I'VE EVER READ ABOUT SPORTS IN THIS STATE. EVER.
