I'm very happy with Adrian Peterson. He has an incredibly aggresive running style and should be lots of fun to watch. I keep hearing comparisons to Eric Dickerson, but he's got some Earl Campbell to him too. If he stays healthy (a legitimate 'if') then he should do some wonderful things for this team.
The Vikes picked up three receivers, all of whom were praised for having good hands. Troy Williamson, you're on notice. We can only hope that at least one of them pans out because the current crop is six shades of awful. Actually, who knows how good it is. Brad Johnson was clearly done last year and Tavaris looked awfully rookieish. I'm willing to give him another year of leash.
Quite a few of the players drafted had bad collegate seasons last year. Over and over I've read that so and so looked better in '05 than in '06. The reasons varied from injury to surrounding talent but the Vikings clearly focused on high risk/high reward types of players. I'm fine with that as it puts their necks on the line. If they really went out and found some diamonds, then they'll be just fine.
