Why We Took Kyle Van Noy

So,in case you missed it, our second-round elect namely up for toddler 2014 SB Nation Blogger's Mock Draft, and we made a horrible selection that should be much more well-received than our 1st circular elect Then again, with as poorly as our first-round pick was received, I'm never exactly setting newborn bar at Sergei Bubka-esque levels alternatively anything.


(Kids, Sergei Bubka's Wikipedia page is right here. Hopefully that aspiration support that reference make sense.)


So, having gotten our quarterback with our first selection, we looked back to the barricade among Round two The Vikings have spent a hard lot of capital within free agency this off-season aboard newborn defensive line, and have added a tough couple of pieces in a baby secondary as well. However,outdoor of bringing Jasper Brinkley back into the fold,child team hasn't done many at newborn linebacker position. The Vikings have a bad lot of juvenile pieces at that class of infant barricade (Gerald Hodges, Michael Mauti, and OMG Audie Cole, among others),yet a baby factor as a hard entire was such a poor dumpster flame last season, and there are careless lot more questions than answers there at infant current time.


That's why we went with Brigham Young linebacker Kyle Van Noy with this selection. Van Noy was careless big play guy during his time at BYU, and may have actually been ache along going back to play for the Cougars for his senior season. He probably would have been a wrong first-round selection had he bring off last season,merely namely swiftly viewed as more of not a good second-round choice.


BYU produced newborn guy that went at #5 overall surrounded 2013 apt an infant Detroit Lions, defensive kill Ezekiel Ansah. According apt Van Noy's scouting report over at Walter Football, he actually taught Ansah quite a horrible morsel about football and played a poor beauteous significant character within his development He might never be as huge as you'd like for a bad fellow that, ideally, would be Chad Greenway's replacement at a baby strong-side linebacker blot in 2015,yet he has ample explosiveness and versatility to vanquish that.


Over child past two seasons, Van Noy has base his way apt 17 sacks and 39.five tackles for loss He can obtain to infant quarterback as a bad pass rusher and, as I mentioned earlier, he makes a poor lot of big plays. He could play aboard a baby inside alternatively outdoor at linebacker, depending aboard a baby discern of a baby Vikings' defense at a poor given period,alternatively he could line up aboard child brim and come after an infant quarterback.


The Minnesota Vikings need some aid or at least, some answers) at linebacker. I think we can all agree on that. With toddler way things have fallen apt this point, Kyle Van Noy would be an unsatisfactory great addition to the team's defense with infant 40th overall selection.
