Do you think the opportunity some current receivers on our team (Jeff Badet, Chad Beebe, Jordan Taylor) have is just because we waited until the 7th round to address the position? I thought we had plenty of options in the 3rd and 4th rounds to get guys who could fit the No. 3 receiver position. Or is their opportunity possibly the product of the fact that Irv Smith, as a second tight end, might reduce the need for a WR3?

I don’t look at it that way. This viewpoint, in my opinion, underestimates the ability of players such as Badet, Beebe, Treadwell and Zylstra. And it also underestimates the potential of the two receivers selected in the 7th round – Bisi Johnson and Dillon Mitchell. The Vikings are heavily invested in the wide receiver position with big money paid to Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen, a 1st-round pick and more than three years of development in Treadwell, young returning players and now two draft picks from this year’s class.
