McGill is definitely the DL version of Sloter. I would love to have Sloter as our QB3 behind Mullens. It would be so much fun having Captain Kirk and Sgt. Sloter.
Give it a rest about Sloter, he is not coming back so move on already!

It's worth noting that if RB Alexander Mattison were to leave the #Vikings as a free agent next March and plays well, Vikings could get a third- or fourth-round comp pick, so they would want that sort of return in a trade now if one were to be done for him.

I really liked Mond coming out of college but clearly he was an awful pick. The 2nd pick in the 3rd round could have been used to draft another worthless guard, or a worthless LBer, or another DE that didn't fit the system.
What a lousy 3rd round for Spielman. 4 picks and Patrick Jones looks like the only guy who will make it through his rookie contract and even he hasn't been able to pass up Wonnum on the depth chart.

The odds of getting a compensatory pick for Mattison are incredibly low and it should be noted that a pick in 2023 is worth a lot more than a pick in 2024. Counting on a compensatory pick is generally not a wise move. Better to take the pick you can get now instead of hoping a position that generally doesn't get a lot in FA and generally doesn't remain healthy for 4 seasons gets you a 3rd round pick.

Jones has been cut. No sense keeping Wyatt Davis sitting around. Speilman pushed that Mond pick off on Kubesteak because he made the deal with TX A&M to make the pick. The whole draft class was another trade down away from the talent. The cream rises.

Jones has been cut? Mond, Surratt and Davis have been cut, which is almost unheard of for 3rd round picks in their second year.
Time to let the Spielman love people still cling to go. He wasn't a bad GM, but his mistakes outweighed his successes.

OLB Janarius Robinson gone
Mond has decent physical skills, but his vision, accuracy and decision making were too weak to even develop. Better to cut bait and go with Mullens.
Does this mean we're keeping Mr. Personality, Sean Mannion on the roster?
Just a thought. So many down on Mond, Maybe hi is a slower learner, takes longer to grasp. I know that is not a good thing in the NFL. Mond played to my understanding 3-4 yrs at Texas A.M. I understand he didn’t do squat until his final year. I as a Alabama diehard recall his final game against Bama. He lost but tore us up, Bama’s D couldn’t stop him. We had to outscore them,.... Point Mond didn’t do much until his final year. Evidently he had the talent.just took awhile to get there.
How much game experience does he have, 3-5 pre season games, probably half games. I know that may not be a benefit to him. Some guys like Mahomes, Hubert can grab quickly. If he had the game experience of Mannion for example. How would he look.
We may never see that as a Viking fan. Maybe regret in the future,
