I only read the first 3 pages, had to chime in here. For the Vikings, LB is their most predictable choice obviously. I think they'll be better than last year because they have so much talent, and these coaches can't be worse than the last.....BUT they are implementing new systems, new coaches, numerous new players, so it could be rocky. If by some odd chance they do pick top 3, I want them to take a different QB (Quinn of course) and if T Jack is still what they think the answer is, then Peterson or Calvin Johnson are good choices, but don't forget OT. Thomas makes sense too, cause McKinnie is in his contract year and I've read quotes where he says he wants to go out there and do his best so he's IN DEMAND. He'll go high $, as he is considered a top 3 LT (by some sportswriters anyway) and the Vikings might not be able to afford him, so could potentially be in the market for a new LT. If they pick high I'd prefer them take Quinn, cause a stud QB is hard to get, and it's rare you win SBs without a very good QB. If they decide to go LB, I hope they take Posluszny. Could move Leber to MLB if need be, and you'd have two potential studs playing OLB in Greenway and Posluszny.
As for the Steelers, hard telling what they'll do. RB is possible, and very likely if Michael Bush is around. LB needs addressed badly as their starting linebackers are roughly 32, 29, 29 and 26 years old, and the backup that sees playing time is 28. There is very little quality depth at LB, and considering the switch of so many teams to the 3-4, they won't be able to take one in the 4th round or later as they usually have in the past. They usually just go BPA, or more precisely BPA at a position of need or weakness, and picking at 31 that's what they'd do. Pitcock would make a lot of sense, in case Keisel doesn't work out, plus Aaron Smith will be 30 next year I think (he could play a DE in the 3-4 I think).
Overall though, nicely done.
