Minnesota Vikings 2008 NFL Draft Review
(Sports Network) -2 - Tyrell Johnson, S, Arkansas State (6-0, 207); 5 - John David Booty, QB, USC (6-2, 218); 5 - Letroy Guion, DT, Florida State (6-3, 307); 6 - John Sullivan, C, Notre Dame (6-3, 301); 6 - Jaymar Johnson, WR, Jackson State (5-11, 177) Analysis: The Vikings gave up their first-round pick and two third-rounders in the Jared Allen deal, making strong safety candidate Tyrell Johnson their only selection of the first three rounds. Johnson is good, but Minnesota might have been better-served by taking an available wideout like Malcolm Kelly, DeSean Jackson, or Limas Sweed. As it happened, slight-of-build project Jaymar Johnson was the only pass-catcher selected. The most intriguing pick of the second day is Booty, who had some trouble with injuries and decision-making in college, but is good enough to compete at quarterback for Minnesota. Guion and Sullivan are career backups, at best. Bottom Line: Still no one on this team to take the pressure off Adrian Peterson offensively, and this does not figure to go down as a high-impact draft for the Vikes. Grade: C
