 Biggest Concerns and What I am loving right now
What I am loving with the current team.. We finally have a GM who is building a solid foundation team. Our team improved a lot in this offseason. We didn't overspend for talent as a lot of teams did.
Our Wide outs look so much better to me .. Harvin Jenkins Simpson Child's will be our receptions leaders this year with the two TE's adding in
We drafted a stud LT to replace Mckinnie who was a lazy player, with a lot of talent (Johnson obviously was not capable at LT at all)
Our Secondary has a lot of new players and Cook is back will it improve enough ?
LB I really didn't like what we have done at LB this offseason Erin is moderate.. greenway is very good .. Brinkley ?? who knows looks to be weak in pass coverage
Curse: are the Vikings ever gonna win a super bowl ? Not soon with GB and detroit where they are at.. not to mention SF looking awesome

 Re: Biggest Concerns and What I am loving right now
I admit I still have a lot of concerns regarding the Vikings, including both the team and coaching staff.
That said, I believe they will be a much more competitive team.
As for the D secondary, can Winfield stay healthy and has he lost anything? What are the new safeties going to be like?
I have no idea how good the LBs will be, especially if Brinkley is the starting MLB.

 Re: Biggest Concerns and What I am loving right now
Not sure about love but there is tons to like. I really liked the draft (there should be at least 4 starting players from it), the fact that Winfield is back and healthy, that Ponder will have a training camp, with a better line and better targets to throw to. That AD looks to be on the path to full rercovery and knowing that Gerhart can and will pick up the slack if he is not ready. Great depth at tight end with Rudolph poised to become a star. The fact that whoever replaces our safeties and mlb could only be a vast improvement. A new defensive coach. I am loving that the team has been asured to be staying put with the new stadium being built. My concerns are based on how long this rebuilding process will take place but feel confident that they will be very competitive this year and challenging for a title next.

 Re: Biggest Concerns and What I am loving right now
Something to remember Fraiser didn't have much off season last year and should given some time because of that. If this year is just as bad, i would gladly hold the tar bucket or throw the feathers on him.

Curse: are the Vikings ever gonna win a super bowl ? Not soon with GB and detroit where they are at.. not to mention SF looking awesome The great thing about football is you just never know who is going to be good. GB could utterly fall apart after the 15-1 and done season. Players could lose that extra little something that motivates teams to win. (Think 2010 Vikings) Detroit is Detroit and with there past, I won't crown them anything yet. How about the Chargers last year and all the hype surrounding Rivers. He pretty much stunk it up after months of 'Rivers will be THE elite QB this year to watch'.... And the 49ers??!!! All it takes is a little chemistry, some luck and the Vikings are sitting at the top again. I have a good feeling about this year.

 Re: Biggest Concerns and What I am loving right now
I am starting to wonder why Kalil is not signed yet ?
its supposed to be easier with the new structured rookie contracts ...
I am guessing its about the number of years of the contract

I am guessing its about the number of years of the contract It's not even that, all rookie contracts are 4-years with 1st rounders having an additional 1-year option at the team's discretion. There's very little to negotiate. Josh Robinson has yet to sign as well but I wouldn't put too much stock into it. The days of rookie's holding out are over.
