What are the biggest holes that the Vikings will need to fill on draft day, and who do you think they should take to fill them?

Actually, I hope the Vikes not only draft an OL, but sign a free agent OL, too. The right side of the line is weak & McKinnie on the left is not good in pass protection (slow feet, not to mention getting arrested habitually). I'm one of the few in Minnesota that still thinks TJack can be a good QB if Childress adds a little versatility to the offense & allows him to use his talents. Better pass protection would help, too. Vikes need to get creative...more play action passes, roll-out passes, QB runs, misdirection plays, throw the ball downfield more, screens, etc., to keep the opposing D from stacking the line all the time (which also restricts our #1 weapon...AP). Peterson might get 100 yards in a game, but usually because he breaks a couple for 35, 45 yards. The other carries are for short yardage due to the D-line being stacked. Childress needs to go.
