Re: Latest on Kirk’s decision to leave Minnesota
Defence was playing top 10 at one point. Once Kirk went down it was just a matter of time before reality set in on the team, I’m sure lots of players lost hope. Also I’d be interested to see the TOP once Kirk went down. Sure we lost Hunter however I believe Greenard and Turner is an upgrade over ou...

Re: Latest on Kirk’s decision to leave Minnesota
I’m over Kirk. Maybe its just me, but it was a pretty easy breakup. I thought KAM would cut ties with Kirk and start looking for his franchise QB when he first took the GM job with the Vikings. That was when there was a natural break in the contract situation IIRC and would have been the best time ...

Re: Latest on Kirk’s decision to leave Minnesota
I'll just say... 100 million guaranteed. If he's upset, he'll wipe his tears away with that money.. Money will be Kirk's legacy... If he was exceptional at winning anything during his tenure as a pro QB, it was with his bank account. On the field, he'll be remembered as someone who could never elev...

Re: Latest on Kirk’s decision to leave Minnesota
Atlanta GM said they drafted Penix to make sure they were stable at the most important position. They are set for 5 years. Yes drafting a D player should help but if Kirk goes down the season would be over. Now they have 1 of the 6 superstars to plug in. QBs are to valuable to say no thanks. Any pl...

Re: Rookie Mini Camp
If the Vikings get consistent production out of 3 of their draft picks and even 1 of the UDFA's I'll consider this year a bumper crop of talent. Of the UDFA's on that list the guy I'm keeping my eye on is Bo Richter out of Air Force, mostly to make an immediate impact on special teams, but he could ...

Re: Latest on Kirk’s decision to leave Minnesota
Atlanta's decision to draft Penix makes less sense to me by the day. It was as perplexing, if not more perplexing, then KAM's decision to trade down to the 32nd pick with the Lions to swap 2nd rounders in his first draft. Just not good value for the needs of the team at the time. A lot has been said...

Re: Draft Day Discussion
I can't believe Pratt went to the Puke in the 7th round. It pisses me off also. :soap Odds of Pratt ever seeing the field in a Packer jersey are very poor. It would only happen if Love gets hurt. Odds of Pratt turning into a competent QB if he does see the field are also very poor. 7th round QBs pa...

Re: Draft Day Discussion
More than any recent draft, I'm really anxious to see the signs if it all works out, or not. Great points. I think if there is an objective criticism of this year's draft it is the effect shifting mid-round picks from both 2024 and 2025 will have on the Vikings depth going forward. Taking fewer roo...

Re: Draft Day Discussion
One other thing the Pack taking Pratt in the 7th round pisses me off. I liked him. Plus a 7th rounder is nothing. He certainly could have competed for a backup role. Mullens is worthless and Hall is Hall. If the guy shows anything you have a great guy to deal at a position of high need. That was a ...

Re: The Official Dallas Turner thread
I'm really excited to see how Flores deploys Turner. The edge players in Flores' defense often drop back and cover. Hunter did a pretty good job of that when he was asked to do it, but in my opinion Hunter wasn't really comfortable in that role. Turner is lighter and quicker than Hunter IMHO, and I ...

Re: Draft Day Discussion
Turner was the consensus #1 defender in the draft. Most people expected him to go to the Falcons at pick 8. We way overpaid for pick 17, but we way underpaid for the best defender in the draft. I'm not sure I agree we overpaid to move up to 17. I guess it depends on how you look at the value. If yo...

Re: Draft Day Discussion
Turner is listed at 6’3” and 250 lbs, which honestly he doesn’t look to me. I’m hoping he can find the sweet spot between being nimble and being big enough not to get hurt at this level. Turner played and was incredibly productive at Alabama. The Crimson Tide play against the best teams in college ...

Re: Draft Day Discussion
General comments on KAM's performance in this year's draft: - I don't know if the rumors were true about KAM being willing to trade both 1sts to move up to get JJ McCarthy at 4 or 5, but the fact is he didn't do that. He held and managed to make sure he got McCarthy while retaining his 2nd 1st. I'll...
