Yea, and you missed what I said after that, it "doesn't" get addressed until after it's a "hot mess". I don't give a crap who else has a hot spot, I'm talking about Vikings. When you have a certain need that is more glaring than any other position and year after year it is ignored is what I am talking about. Need O-line, grab a wr or two. Need a LB, draft one late and hope for the best.
When has LB all of the sudden become some glaring need?? We had no WLB. A player that plays about 20-30 snaps a game. And no we didnt "draft one late and hope for the best". We drafted two (one in the 4th and one in the 7th) plus still have Lamur who could play the spot. So no LB is nowhere near a "hot mess".
What you're saying has literally only happened with OL. Every other glaring need we've had over the past few years has pretty much been addressed. Need a CB, drafted Waynes. Need a LB, drafted Kendricks. Need a WR, drafted Treadwell. Need a RB, drafted Cook. I dont see anything else that has recently become a "hot mess" other than the OL. And we grabbed a WR or two because it was a GLARING need before last years draft. Many people seem to forget about that. Who was Adam Thielen last offseason? A special teams player. Who was CP? A special teams player that couldnt learn an offense. Jarius Wright was a middling talent at best. Charles Johnson came off a practice squad. Yeah OL was a big need but are we really going to sit here and say we didnt need a WR last offseason just as bad?? Come on now.
Bottom line is, the offensive line is what became a "hot mess" over the years. Since Zimmer has gotten here, I would say we've improved just about every position on the team outside of OL. I cant really say any position on this team is WORSE than it was in 2014 when he got here when you look at our current roster. They also addressed the OL very heavily this offseason so the jury is out there
