If I were Frank Gilliam

If I were in charge of the Vikings draft this is what it would have looked like.

1. Fred Smoot CB Mississipi St 2. Shaun Rogers DT Texas 3. Chad Ward OG Washington 4a. Markus Steele LB Southern Cal 4b. Ja'mar Toombs FB Texas A&M 4c. Jimmy Williams CB Vanderbilt 5. Hakim Akbar S Washington 6. Tarlos Thomas OT Florida State 7. Matt Smith LB Oregon

Granted I am a big Pac-10 homer, but these are the guys I had at the top of my wish list at each pick. Obviously Ward would have been a reach and Toombs, Thomas and Smith all went undrafted, so maybe I'm no John Butler but I'll stand these guys up against the "Denny 8" in three years and see who came out with a better crop.
