Being a fan for so long, watching games always gives me the “yeah buts”. We won going away, but it was the Giants. We scored 28 but one was a defensive TD. Jefferson caught a long one but only had 4 catches. Punter did OK but shanked another one. So I’ll sum up my feelings this way: The negatives: O...

I'm kind of surprised on this one. I know Hall didn't save the season last year, but before he suffered the concussion early against the Falcons he looked like he was in control of that game. And then again in his appearances this preseason he looked like he had put in the work and made some nice r...

Cine release I don't think anyone surprised by. Fresh start might be good for him. I've seen this sentiment a few times, I'm not quite as magnanimous. I don't wish anyone ill will, but we already whiffed on him as a #1, I don't want to add to that by seeing him become a starter elsewhere. I'd rathe...

This was a good string. Every fan got a kick in the pants when JJM went down. That's our future and I know I like the pick. This isn't a Teddy or Ponder ect type of pick. The kid has great physical skills and the mentality. He's been through the wars in a big time program. You can't ask for anythin...

... We’re not considered a contender ... It's a one year deal and costs us 7 to 10 million of cap space we could have used next year. So if the line I bolded from your post is accurate why are we bothering with this year? Once again I'm not in favor or against this move. I think there's a void year...

I’m with VL on this one, in fact I almost posted with the same title he used on his first post above. Look, we were DECIMATED at the CB position, and a lot of emotion attached to those bad outcomes in the DB room. We needed not only a body who can play, but a veteran who hopefully can put some "...

Personally, I'm over the journeyman vet QB on the short term deal. While Cousins was not exactly that during his time with the Vikings, he also sort of was that. ... but I'm really ready to get on with watching the Vikings finally have a young, dynamic playmaker at QB for a change. It's been a long...

For every rookie/young QB that has been "thrown in there" and had success and never looked back, there are probably a dozen or more where the post mortem includes the "we never should have thrown him in there that early, he could have been so much better" mantra. Golly, we have a...

In the end, the Vikings sent their second-, fifth- and sixth-round picks in 2024 and their second-, third- and fourth-round picks in 2025 to add Turner. Every time I read one of these it seems these guys NEVER get the trades correct when analyzing. He missed the 7th rd pick we received from HOU and...

Read a bunch of interesting stuff today. In order of "voracity": After taking Penix, ATL contacted Jets and wanted to get back to the #10 pick and take Laiatu. Jets have it recorded actually, so it would appear legit. I don't know what the unwritten protocol is when calling a team for thei...

I know this is post-draft and not draft day, but since it's slow and this thread is active I thought I'd post this here: They were then unwilling to move up more than one selection for J.J. McCarthy. That was at least correct because McCarthy is the same sort of caliber of prospect as Mac Jones Som...

General comments on KAM's performance in this year's draft: Don’t disagree with much if anything you stated. I’d add that we did decimate next year’s # of draft selections by going on this “spending spree”. I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing, and I’d assume KAM has some idea what he’ll do...

How about the kid from Alabama?

It's insane. The Falcons could've taken Rome Odunze and given Kirk a serious weapon. They could've taken Dallas Turner and upgraded the defense by miles. Instead ... they took Kirk's replacement! Is it possible Atlanta has buyer's remorse before Cousins ever takes a snap? It's planning for the futu...

I was a big fan of the overall strategy. I agree, my only caveat is that typically that strategy is married with a "this was a top heavy draft" kind of statement or sentiment, but all indications I've seen is that this is one of the deepest drafts (outside of edge rusher, which makes gett...
