Im happy with the Bridgewater pick. Im a little concerned with him playing in the cold weather and snow with those gloves, but if it works for him then dont change it. I just think its a perfect situation for him. He has the chance to sit for a full year and learn not only from Cassel but from ...

In the NFL players restructure all the time...a very common practice. For Bradford, restructuring to facilitate a trade gives him some leverage, leverage to secure a sweeter deal than what a straight release and sign via open market would reward.

Last year that wasn't open competition it was a ...

Who cares...this is big boy football. Open tryouts among the 4 QBs, cut one vet when obvious not going to be starter or #2. Go into season with 2 solid QBs and a QB of the future.

Vikes should do the trade in a heart beat.

Step1...Rams restructure Bradford's deal
Step 2...trade happens on draft ...

It would cause another QB circus for this year. Having 3 guys in Cassel, Ponder, and Bradford all with multimillion dollar deals + the rookie QB we are all expecting to be drafted this year would create controversy and would be taking up an important roster spot. Cassel is our starter, Ponder is in ...

Really wish they'd get a scat back in here to complement AD and give us a real threat in the passing game. Someone with some wiggle and speed who can make something out of those check downs!

another Mewelde Moore would be awesome

I think that the conversation is talking about PASS PROTECTION. The line has and does pretty darn good at run blocking.


You can talk about pass protection all you want. The thread is talking about the offensive line entirely. I agree the pass protection is shaky, I think its due mainly to the ...

It seems odd that one season AD nearly breaks the rushing record, and everyone praises the OL that year, and the next year theyre getting grilled? Sure Adrian is a beast and can make something out of nothing and should ultimately get the main credit for the season, but to say the OL didnt contribute ...

Most analyses show that the chart overvalues early round picks and greatly undervalues later round picks

I completely agree with that. For the team trading up, however, the player that they are targeting could have a much higher value than the pick itself. If they think theyre trading up for a ...

These value charts are typically pretty accurate, and it says that the Vikings pick at 8 is worth 1400.

The Steelers picks are 1050 (15), 440 (46), 112 (97), and 58 (118)

Pick 15 and 46 total 1490 which isnt way over the top, and seems legitimate ...

The HoF is overrated anyway

A collaboration of the greatest players to play the greatest sport (in my opionion) ever is overrated? ok.

Vikings fan or not, Grant was the first coach to reach 4 super bowls...win or lose thats a great and historic achievement

HELL NO!!! I'd even have a hard time taking him at 8

Id be ok with taking him at 8 (not thrilled), but I certainly wouldnt spend even 1 Christian Ponder trading up for him. The only players I would even consider trading up for would be Mack or Clowney, and even then I probably would vote against ...

Somebody with time to spare should calculate the results and see who the most and least popular Vikings are

I, my friend, found time:
the scoring is based on +1 for like, -1 for a dislike

And the results are... *drumroll*

TOP 5 VIKINGS:
1- Adrian Peterson: +23
2- Cris Carter: +18
3- John Randle ...

1st round-
Manziel

Trade back in the 1st-
Bridgewater-I wouldnt be too upset if they took him at 8, but getting max value being able to trade down would be ideal

Bortles- people make comparisons to big ben, I just dont see it. he rose too quickly up the board, and im not sure i trust it

2nd round ...

I guess if he's signed there's no guarantee he'd make the team but they'd be essentially re-signing a Tyrell Johnson

its a long shot he makes the team, especially if we take ANY safeties in the draft. If they get him, he wouldn't be paid anything more than the minimum with incentives if he makes ...

Vikings are bringing in Kurt Coleman for a visit.

Nothing wrong with a little competition
