Re: PHP's "Draft Day is almost here" Mock

Posted in the Sirius thread Risner would be my top OL pick with Dillard second (assuming the consensus top guys are gone). I have a feeling Risner will be gone but the odds Dillard is around seem decent. Absent something odd like an Oliver falling, I think one of those is the pick. If both are gone...

Re: Vikings 2019 Schedule (so far)

I think this is a pretty favorable schedule, no outdoor games in December is big. Hopefully they have a chance to contend for the NFC north title end of year where they get to play at home. Lambeau and Soldier Field in December is such a huge advantage. Looks almost as bad/hard as last year to me. ...

Re: The Real Chance that the Vikings Don't Address Offensive Line Early

The closer we get to draft day, the more im sure Rick is going to trade the 18th (maybe even the 50th) to get more picks. I think we stand a good chance to get 2 real quality Olinemen with this method. I would be happy too with using the 18th and 50th on the Oline as well, if we didnt trade down. Bu...

Re: Zeitler trade

Wow just saw this. I was ticked that Spielman didnt try and trade for Zeitler but I guess he did. Typical Browns move though. Pass on Griffen (even though he had some mental issues going on) for that gigantic FA bust Vernon. The guy is completely invisible vs the run and a one trick pony. In the he...

Re: The Real Chance that the Vikings Don't Address Offensive Line Early

I am hoping we snag Cory Ford if he is there I keep seeing two tackles and some great OG available in the second and sometimes third round I just hope we actually take one or two good OL in the first two days I agree. And if on our second pick, if Lindstorm is still there, I would love to have him....

Re: PHP's "Draft Day is almost here" Mock

I'm very interested to see how the QBs move in this draft. I'm not sure more than 2 get selected before 18, especially if someone trades for Rosen. I don't think either Williams or Risner is the best Tackle in this draft, but I do like the versatility they both bring as a very safe pick at 18. Fant...

And who would that be?

How many of these mock drafts threads are there going to be? Should I post all mine and make a thread for every one? This isn't a mock draft thread. I'm participating in a SiriusXM Mock Draft.

Re: Vikings extend Theilen

Blah, I wanted to post this. Ricky boy finally got around to paying the best Viking on the entire team. Now that Barr (god what a waste) And Griff (an ever bigger waste) are signed. He could be the best Viking WR since Moss. Now if theres a certain tall, speedy and smart WR (I know the one I really ...

Re: PHP's "Draft Day is almost here" Mock

What possible reason would you think that Reiff is a solid tackle? Let alone an elite guard. I have never heard anyone say this about him, or he is anything but average. I hope you dont think he is elite because he got a great contract from Rick. Nailed it! Its the contract from Rick. It means he's...

Re: PHP's "Draft Day is almost here" Mock

Yeah short term it's highly disruptive and could yield less than desirable results. But like you, having two solid tackles long term is very enticing, especially if Elf can improve. You'd have 60% of your line pretty set and still on rookie contracts. Reiff isn't worth the money no matter what posi...

Re: Zeitler trade

First off, I was exaggerating. Secondly, Rick paid (well the Wilfs did) Kirk friggin Cousins 28 billion last year for 8 wins, and the Viking seriously regressed. Hes the reason we cant ply players that are worth more what they need to play here. And obviously I know thats your opinion, I didnt thin...

Re: Zeitler trade

Yeah, If you put up an aging player with mental issues (that cost him most of the season with us, and when he came back he was only about 50%) as part of a trade deal that would have instantly upgraded the Oline by about 50%, you just aernt trying. But its so vital we re-signed Griff, LOL. 50%? He ...
