When is the coin flip w/ Miami tomorrow for the 8th pick? Also, how he feels Cam is prepared for this additional pressure this season, considering the fact that he had the best rookie season ever in the history of the NFL. how will he stay grounded and get us to the playoffs?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I agree, if Griffin 3 is there at three the Vikes take him ans shore up QB needs for the next 12 years for sure. Ponder is not the guy. Smart but spaghetti armed. He ain&#039;t leading the team to the promised land thats for sure. 
Plus with a fast AP and Griffin in the backfield and a couple of young receivers, this team turns around quickly. 
Would not be totally shocked if the Vikes, opt for the two position. Would not be totally shocked if Griffin goes number one and fools us all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m curious about the Vikings role in free agency with the salary cap situation they have.  I&#039;m sure the Wilfs will be willing to spend money on impact players, but the salary cap could be a problem.  Maybe they can restructure contracts or something because with their high draft picks and what seems like a deep free agent pool, they have the opportunity to add some solid players.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For Buddy Nix-
Does he think it was easier 10 years ago as a scout or does today&#039;s technology really give them an edge? 
Since most of the Defense was set up for the 3-4, will they be able to find spots for guys like Spencer Johnson and Alex Carrington with switching to the 4-3? Johnson may not be a superstar, but showed up a lot last season with some big plays, I would think Buffalo would be interested in keeping him out there, but is there a spot?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For Buddy Nix: 
 
What does the switch to a 4-3 do for their scouts? Do they start looking for different characteristics in prospects or does it remain the same? Also, what does he think about Courtney Upshaw and what scheme he thinks he fits in?
Thanks!]]></description>
