To whatever degree Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman makes a habit of ignoring the unsolicited advice offered from draft pundits around the country, there’s a certain piece of feedback he’s a little more hard-pressed to tune out.
“Everybody has angst. My wife — I’ll leave that at home,” Spielman said in his predraft news conference Tuesday. “She said: ‘If you draft another corner, don’t come home. You can just stay at the office.’ ”
There’s plenty of focus on what Spielman will do Thursday night, when the Vikings are on the clock with the 18th pick in the draft and a decided interest in making the most of a roster primed to win now.
