wtfvikesfan (449)Well, the first day of the 2012 NFL Draft turned out to be quite exciting for us Vikings fans.
Our live chat was a blast and a huge thanks to Brett, Malte, and Gil from thevikingden.com for all of the hard work keeping things running smoothly!
Here is the transcript from the live chat so that it can always be a part of our permanent record and also to let you review some reactions if that interests you:
Our 2012 NFL Draft Live Chat event is now underway.
Click here to chat live with us.
You won’t regret it.
I guarantee it (my best Men’s Warehouse voice).
Well, it is finally here!
Every football fan’s personal, weird version of Christmas morning arrives tonight and we are all anxious to see the Vikings unwrap that shiny new gift… or perhaps go the Chinese Auction route and trade around until they get the gift they like.
Anyways, we are here for you all day.
The blog will be updated as quickly and as often as we can kick out posts. The Live Chat will begin about an hour before the Colts are officially on the clock. Our Big Board and Trade Value Charts are posted. Everything can be accessed by using the menu at the top of the screen.
We know you are looking forward to the first round of the Draft tonight, and we want you to know that we are just as excited and glad you chose to hang out with us during it.
Friday evening I solicited questions from the audience and I will try to hit as many as I can in this segment.
A few of them were too silly to answer in this post, but I’ll try and match the silliness and reply to them in the comments section.
Here we go.
NORSEMAN66: Is there going to be a live chat during the draft (each day)?
ADAM: Yes! Brett and I plan to host live chats here at VT for every selection of the 2012 NFL Draft and we are way excited! Barring any last minute major changes, you can consider this a done deal. One thing I might be interested in, though, is recruiting one or two of you to be a moderator during the chats to help out with the work load. If you have interest, click the “Contact Us” tab at the very top of the page and let me know your availability that week.
BJOHNNY: What are your thoughts on Speilman? Is he in over his head, clueless or a crafty genius?
ADAM: Where is the “other” option, Johnny? I think Spielman’s approach to free agency makes this year’s Draft even more important to him. Building through the draft is regarded by almost everyone as the best way to put together a winning football team, but you still have to draft well to see those results. Let’s wait and see how the Draft and the next few waves of free agency go (and maybe even a football game or two) before judging the approach too harshly.
Hey everybody! Welcome to this season’s final live chat. Enjoy it, the next won’t be until the Draft! Click the button below to join us.
Hello everyone. Sorry for the extended absence, I only recently figured out how to get the snow shovel thawed out enough to detach it from my hands.
Anyways, I know a lot of you may be hung over from some New Year parties (and the 2011 season), but I wanted to get 2012 kicked off right.
Tune in just before kickoff for the final live chat of the 2011 season, and the first live chat of 2012.
Many fans are wanting the Vikings to maintain their current Draft status (or even improve), but I am personally hoping we can claim to be undefeated in 2012 between now and September.
See you there!
