Re: Draft Day thread
Was wondering why a RB. But Mattison is probably going to want a chance at FA. Have a suspicion that Mattison is traded this season as someone will suffer a season ending injury and throw us a top pick for him.

Re: Draft Day thread
Mattison is great and we need somebody good backing up Cook. I think 3rd round pick is the best we could hope for and maybe not worth it.

Mattison is a middling player. Was hoping he would turn out to be better but to me he's just a decent RB.VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 2:33 pmMattison is great and we need somebody good backing up Cook. I think 3rd round pick is the best we could hope for and maybe not worth it.

We disagree. I think he would start for half the teams in the NFL or better.fiestavike wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 2:37 pmMattison is a middling player. Was hoping he would turn out to be better but to me he's just a decent RB.VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 2:33 pm

Re: Draft Day thread
Mattison lacks vision. He’s a downhill runner that just plows into people. I’m okay with moving on. Lot of speed between Kene and the new guy.

Re: Draft Day thread
He might be better in a power scheme, but he has not thrived in the Vikings scheme. He just doesn't make the most of what's on the field.

Re: Draft Day thread
Lowe is big enough to cover up defenders, but he plays high and gets stood up. He has long arms, and he's tough to shake once he gets his hands inside and locks on, but his hand placement is inconsistent. He oversets and struggles to recover. -- Steve Muench
Sounds like the perfect Vikings OL

Re: Draft Day thread
Lowe has started at LT since his freshman year.
Married with 2 kids. Another very mature player with great character and great upside. Has a reason to bust his A$$ at practice and off the field.
Long arms and huge hands. Has a chance to stick at swing T or inside at G.
Probably a PS player with potential upside

Re: Draft Day thread
Why does Kwesi keep talking about how 'he feels' and how making the pick is a 'special moment' for him in all the pressers? Guess what, we don't care. Is personalizing like that meant to be disarming and put off getting difficult questions, or it just reflexive and reflective of where we are as a culture?
And every draft call they show..."we're chasing dreams". Good grief.
