Minnesota Vikings (again)- Erasmus James, DE, Wisconsin

They got the best pass rusher left in the draft here. The problem they'll have is that he's going to be playing on the turf, and I don't know that he'll stay healthy all the time. The Vikings have to be the prohibitive favorites in the division next year, given the huge improvement they've made on defense. The Lions have to be a factor because of the offense they are going to have, but the Packers have lost a lot, and I don't know if they'll be able to keep pace with the Vikings right now.

The Rams are up next. Torry Holt is talking up Brodney Pool, which makes sense, but Alex Barron has to be awfully tempting.
