Fourteen years have passed since the 2005

This is hardly surprising" NFL Draft went down at Radio City Music Hall in New York. I’ve said in this space before that draft might have produced the single worst draft class in the history of Minnesota Vikings’ football. Honestly Womens Stefon Diggs Jersey , it’s probably one of the worst draft classes of modern times.Eric Edholm of Yahoo! Sports confirmed that in a recent article that he wrote, as he named the Vikings’ 2005 draft class the second-worst of this century. The only class that he deemed to be worse was the Jamarcus Russell-led 2007 Oakland Raiders’ draft class. Strangely, that draft class contained defensive back Eric Frampton, who actually went on to be a very good special teams player for the Vikings after the Raiders let him go.Here’s what he had to say about the group.Now, there’s no denying that the Vikings’ 2005 draft class was awful. No matter how you slice it, there was very little positive to come out of it. But I do want to pick a little bit of a bone with part of Edholm’s commentary.(Hint: It’s the part I put in bold above.)Yes, the Vikings “passed” on Aaron Rodgers twice, if you want to put it like that Chuck Foreman Jersey , and yes, the Packers drafted Rodgers and sat him behind Favre for three years. There are a few issues with this, however.In 2005, Culpepper was 28 years old and had just signed a huge $100 million contract. Favre, on the other hand, was 35 years old and in the midst of one of his half a dozen flirtations with retirement.Culpepper was coming off a season where he accounted for 43 touchdowns (39 through the air) despite Randy Moss being less than 100% for most of the season, and was second in the MVP voting that year to Peyton Manning (who set the single-season TD pass record). Favre was. . .not.The Vikings had no way of knowing that, seven games into the 2005 season http://www.thevikingslockerroom.com/authentic-fran-tarkenton-jersey , Culpepper was going to take a low hit and get his knee turned into spaghetti. I’m sure if they had been armed with that knowledge prior to the draft, they would have taken Rodgers. Also, without Culpepper’s injury, a trade almost certainly doesn’t happen.To that end, if the Vikings had taken Rodgers and the Culpepper injury still happens. . .who’s to say that Rodgers ends up being the same player if he’s thrust into action right away? You don’t think he got massive benefits from sitting for three years? I do. . .and if the 2005 Vikings draft him, that doesn’t happen.There’s no problem with saying that the Vikings’ 2005 draft class was awful. It was. Honestly, I’ve been a fan of this team for over 30 years, and I don’t think there’s been a worse draft class in team history. But without context Womens Paul Krause Jersey , the “Vikings passed on Aaron Rodgers” take is totally unnecessary.

The final announcement of the press conference caused a lot of emotion in Eagan, and with good reason.Rick Spielman has announced that Scott Studwell, who has been a part of the Vikings’ organization for over four decades, would be officially retiring.Studwell first came to the Vikings as a player, as the purple drafted him in the ninth round of the 1977 NFL Draft out of the University of Illinois. He spent 14 seasons with the Vikings as a player, and he retired in 1990 as the team’s all-time leading tackler. He still holds the team record for tackles in a season and tackles in a game. He was named to the Vikings’ 25th and 40th Anniversary teams John Randle Jersey , and was also named one of the 50 Greatest Vikings of All Time.He spent his first season following his on-field retirement with the team as a Player Relations rep, and in 1992 he became the team’s Player Personnel Coordinator. He held that job until 2002, when he became the team’s Director of College Scouting.Studwell stepped down from that position just after the 2014 NFL Draft, but remained a part of the team’s scouting department until today. At the press conference, he joked that he’s already had “two and a half retirements” from the Vikings, but made it clear that this would be the end of his run with the team.Scott Studwell has been a part of the Minnesota Vikings’ organization for 42 years in some capacity. The only other people that are in that stratosphere that I can think of are Bud Grant and Fred Zamberletti. He truly is a legend in the annals of Minnesota Vikings history, and we wish him the best on his retirement from the Vikings’ scouting department.
