Moss has supposedly been traded to the Raiders per ESPN. It's not official until March 2 but if true means the Vikings have a shot at Edwards and Williams at #7.

Everything depends on free agency, they might trade down and get more picks, the draft is just a crap shoot , you always hope the players you draft will contribute to your team, and not be a flop, example Michael Westbrook, Heath Shuler, Desmond Howard were all first round picks that were flops for the Redskins.

Westbrook had some use. After he jumped Stephen Davis, he made Stephen Davis a Pro Bowler.

Either Troy Williamson or Mike Williams will still be there. I think Mike will. His slow 40 combined with Troy's blazing 40 will make him the 3rd reciever taken.

I agree it depends on FA signings. Plaxico and Mason don't have the advantage of a lack of quality in the Draft. They should go for the largest signing bonuses available with incentives... if/when that happens, the Vikes are going to have the power in this draft. They need it too - lots of holes to fill. I've gotta think that Mike Williams is their target at this point though...
