Re: Kyle Rudolph and Vikings break off contract talks

I'm very glad we got Cousins. He is a fine NFL QB. Give him some blocking this year and see what happens. Why the name PurpleKoolaid? Is that accusatory of other posters or is it meant as a comment about yourself? Dont sweat it Vikings Victorious. Been down this road with Kool aid before. First off...

Re: Vikings 2019 Draft Class Review

You are a homer. You think that makes you a better fan? I admit I tend to look at the positive more than the negative. I don't think I'm sticking my neck out liking the Vikings draft over the Bears. Just the year before last we were 13-3. That my have been a fluke. I think last season was a fluke t...

Re: Vikings 2019 Draft Class Review

I'm not forgetting Diggs misses time. He will miss time again. That is old news. Cook will also miss time. Again old news. But a rookie WR won't help. They take time to develop. More so than a RB. I have stated many times that this draft class is weak. Many felt Butler was the WR to take. He can't ...

Re: Kyle Rudolph and Vikings break off contract talks

I thought Kyle might not be around this year when the Vikes wasted a 2nd rd pick on Irv. I guess its ok to pick need when its Kubiak doing it LOL. So many people here cry about going BPA every pick, and when the Vikes go need (on almost all the picks, needs for Kubiaks new system) no one bats an eye...

Re: 6th round pick (1st)- Armon Watts- DT Arkansas

This is one of 2 picks I like, the other being Bradbury ofc. I think our staff can coach this guy, and I think he has a chance to be good. I dont see that with most of our other picks.

Re: Do not understand why Vikings always trade out of third round

BS. We havent gotten anywhere with Rick doing this every year. No SBs, and thats all that matters. I think its a poor way to run a draft, and Rick is known for doing this, its all he cares or talks about. I don't think you are using a metric that makes any sense, but you are free to use it. The pro...

Re: Vikings 2019 Draft Class Review

I think they'll get reasonable contribution this year from the first three picks. Center is practically a guarranteed starter which also moves Elflein to Guard. That pick upgrades two spots on OL. If this was the only pick in the draft it would be hard to give them a bad grade. The TE will likely s...

Re: 2nd round pick- Vikings select Irv Smith- TE Alabama

The guy has some speed and movement skills which should help me. The highlights I saw he catches the ball well also. But his lack of size right now is a bit concerning. I think they plan on using him in a non traditional way. I feel this is a good thing and will add an element that most teams don't...

Re: Vikings 2019 Draft Class Review

Wow, even PFF, the bible to some of the fans on this board, couldnt even muster an Average grade for Ricky and his 10,000 picks this year. A below average grade. My guess is the excuses from some will be rolling in. I also bet 5 years from now not one pick from the almighty 6th and 7th rd picks, wil...

Re: 3rd Round Pick: RB Alexander Mattison

He's a slow running, bad blocking RB. Nothing special, certainly not a 3rd rd value. But Rick would have just traded the pick back for a 25th 7th round pick...

First pick A, and I still gave the overall draft a D. Only Ricky could manage that. But great picks and great value LOL.
