I have rarely seen the Vikings draft a player that everyone likes.

maybe if they cloned a 21 year old Alan Page everyone on this board would like it, but beyond that there will be bickering

There is a slot of speculation that the Vikings will go DE at 14 (kwity Paye maybe?) I am certainly not opposed to that, but just wondering about Wonnum. Patterson was pretty high on him when he was drafted, and he showed some promise last year. I am surprised by the lack of buzz around him going in...

almost as mad as trading a 2nd for a DE, and then flipping him in 5 weeks for a 3rd

https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1385669527405572103 It's over, Kansas City won the Brown sweepstakes. wow, wonder if its a 1 year rental or if they've already agreed to an extension already well, you have to give the Chiefs credit. Their OL was horrid in the superbowl, and they've aggressiv...

Interesting thanks Char
$20M- wow
I just can’t see this happening unless another player (salary) is involved. Barr? Thielen? Harry?

I don’t know the specifics on his contract - is he on the last year of his rookie deal?? can they afford him? What type of $ is he expecting ? In a salary cap vacuum I would love this deal. But depending on contract specifics I would probably pass and stick with 14. Move Ezra to LT and draft a coupl...

this is an encouraging article about Pierce. Sounds like he's been keeping in good shape and maintaining good weight, and it was very painful for him watching the Vikings' D struggle so much last year. https://www.espn.com/blog/minnesota-vikings/post/_/id/31055/vikings-michael-pierce-shakes-off-regr...

Speculative, but an interesting take. The author believes and builds a case that the Vikings are looking for a G not a T in the draft. Not sure if that means Ezra to LT or O'Neill to LT and Udoh to RT.

I would love Pitts

Unfortunately, given the Gladney situation, I am sure Zimmer is going to demand the BCA (best corner available) at 14

Our 1st round pick being a backup in his 2nd year was the blow to the team. This is just escalating the inevitable. Well, we have Hughes on his last year and looking like a bust. An aging Peterson on an expensive 1-year deal. And Alexander on a vet minimum 1-year. Outside of Dantzler, we have a ton...

I'm a firm believer in due process, innocent until proven guilty. But wow that sounds really bad. If he is guilty, just cut him and move on.

You guys have any interest in dealing 14 and next years first to Cincy to draft Sewell? I’m not sure how good we will be this year so I’d be reluctant but he’s exactly what they need I would. He'd be BPA at a position of need, and our first next year SHOULD be pretty far down the list. Hard to see ...

pretty good transcript on interview with Zimmer on the Daily Norseman. its worth a read. https://www.dailynorseman.com/2021/3/31/22360928/mike-zimmer-press-conference-transcript Here are his specific comments on Ezra. Disappointing to read because it looks like they don't have a specific plan for hi...

I agree this is insane. If they are so desperate for this revenue grab, they could have at least made some accommodations - 1 increase roster from 53 to 63. You wouldn’t even have to change the cap just allow teams to spread it around more, develop more depth etc. and all should be able to dress and...

Out of 123 guards/centers who played the majority of their team's snaps last year, Dakota Dozier had the worst pass blocking grade, Garrett Bradbury had the second-worst pass blocking grade and Mason Cole had the 7th-worst pass blocking grade https://twitter.com/NickOlsonNFL/status/1377035507046158...
