With the seventh pick of the 2007 SBNation Mock NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings select....
Adrian Peterson, RB -- Oklahoma
Sometimes you just have to get a guy when he's available. A guy that most think will be a big-time star, a franchise-changer perhaps. The Vikings did just that grabbing Peterson. The only problem is, the Vikings desperately need a quarterback, and decided on Peterson even though Brady Quinn is still stting on the board. There is no doubting Peterson's talent, however, and despite some injury issues was able to become the top rusher in Oklahoma history. On the fast-track in the Metrodome Peterson should put up big numbers, unless of course opponents decide to stuff the box with 10 defenders because the Vikings have no passing game.
The Atlanta Falcons are on the clock....
