Campbell would likely be the Viking's new starter

With the draft just two days away, we are bound to start hearing some crazy stuff, enter Jason Campbell. According to Pro Football Talk, if the Seahawks do not select Matt Sanchez, there is a strong possibility that the Redskins (who are for some reason in love with Sanchez) may trade up to get him at pick number 5! This would put two franchise quarterbacks on the Redskins roster, again I have no clue why Washington loves Sanchez sooo much, but that is the rumor. According to PFT, the Redskins would then look to trade Campbell to one of three teams; the Vikings, the Buccaneers, or the Jets. Another possibility is nearly the same, just a few picks later. According to the same source, the Jaguars could trade out of the number 8 spot, to either the Redskins, or the Jets. Apparently there is what seems to be a two way race to the top between the Jets and the Redskins.

If this situation were to play out, and the Vikings wound up with Campbell, I have no idea what they would give up to get him. It is safe to say the Vikings would at least lose one of their top two picks, and maybe a player, or a late round pick. Campbell has been a shown that he can be an elite quarterback at times, like last year, he had three straight games where he beat the Saints, Cardinals, and Cowboys in Dallas, where he posted at least a 100 QB rating. However, he closed out the season last year on shaky ground, throwing 5 TDs to 6 INTs, and never having a higher quarterback rating than 89.4. He also finished the year with a 2-6 record, including a loss to the 49ers.

Campbell’s career quarterback rating is 80.4, which is an upgrade compared to Jackson’s 76.5. I do think Campbell could become the quarterback the Vikings have been looking to get for years, but with the Vikings getting Rosenfels earlier this year, I would think Childress would not be the one to make a quick move. It appears yet another good young quarterback could become available, and it is possible that the Vikings may have tried to fix the situation too quickly. Granted no one could have expected Jay Cutler to be pissed to a point of no return, and the Redskins to instantly have a huge crush on Sanchez, but had the Vikings waited, they may have gotten the franchise QB they were looking for. Nothing against Rosenfels, but even if he is a little better than Campbell or Cutler next year, he is at least 4 years older than either of the other two QBs.

UPDATE: Shaun Andrews too!

The awnser to the right tackle quetion?

As we all know, Brad Childress came from the Philadelphia Eagles, and likes to bring players over from his old team. According to PFT, the Eagles may be shopping Shaun Andrews as well. The Pro Bowl tackle could become the new guy for the Vikings on the right side of the line, as it is almost certain the Vikings will address this in the draft if they do not trade for Andrews first. If the Vikings were too land Andrews, it would mean they would need to get him a new contract too, he is begging for one in Philly, and even disappeared during the Eagles training camp last year. The big guy would solidify an already good Offensive line, leaving the only question mark at the Center position, with likely first year starter John Sullivan. We will keep you updated on both possible situations.
