Matt Kalil Is Who We Thought He Was… A Viking!
We’ve been saying it a while here at Vikings Territory: The Minnesota Vikings will select offensive tackle, Matt Kalil. Well, that’s exactly what they did. With the third pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings select Matt Kalil, USC. And, to sweeten the deal, the Vikings were also able to scare the Browns enough to swap picks with us and amass some later picks in the draft.
If Kalil turns out as projected by almost everyone, the Vikings left tackle position will be solidified for many years to come.
We have to give Rick Spielman and the Vikings staff some credit here for orchestrating an outstanding first round thus far.
