I'm sure the #Vikings were thinking about taking DTR before the Browns grabbed him and took Jaquelin Roy to fill another need. https://t.co/qgovqVUaA5

Why do you do this

The black Rick Spielman continues to underwhelm.
The Vikings love interior linemen who can’t anchor and get pushed off the line of scrimmage with ease. Their practices must be comical.

Oh my lord Kwesi legit seems like Rick 2.0. Trade back whenever you can, but also trade up in later rounds, get pairs of guys from the same school. It's kind of funny!

Must have cut their scouting budgets down to a select few power 5 schools

The Media gave their thoughts on the selection
After trading up and sending their sixth-round pick to the Colts, the #Vikings get their second pair of teammates in this draft. They selected LSU DT Jaquelin Roy in the fifth round, after taking DB Jay Ward at the end of the fourth.

Vikings traded up to No. 141 to draft their second consecutive player from LSU: DT Jaquelin Roy.
So that's two players from USC and two from LSU in this draft.

Here's how @dpbrugler described Jaquelin Roy: "He flashes promise because of his power, but his movement skills are average, and it will take time for him to adjust to pro blockers. He is a draft-and-develop tackle who can work his way into an NFL rotation as a rookie."

Even Players spoke on the selection
Oh we getting active 🔋
