Do you think the Vikings have the depth at WR or O line for you to make that declaration?

You think the Beaver is going to land a starting spot? Maybe the German Unicorn will unseat one of our WRs?

I'll have what you're smoking. :ganja:

The Beaver, Wally, and Ms. Cleaver would all probably be a welcome upgrade at O line right now, imo..

Marty is very raw but I dont see all that much at WR besides Diggs and Treadwell, im not saying its likely any of these guys end up starting at some point, just that it isn't as much as a stretch as HCVF seems to think.

Over which projected starter?

It's a particularly big stretch with Moritz. It's extremely unlikely he'd move up the depth chart past Diggs, Johnson, Wright, Thielen or Treadwell. Who knows when it comes to Patterson and this coaching staff but Moritz doesn't offer more athletically than Patterson and I doubt he'll have a better handle on the offense by the time the season begins.

Morgan could get playing time, especially as a blocker.

I love the David Morgan pick. he's a really natural athlete and a great all around player. Definitely in the mold of Rhett but probably more athletic. He could lose the man bun though.

Moritz is fun...I can never quite give up the dream of a pick like this working out.
Kearse I don't know much about...the kid from Vandy sounds intriguing as Danielle Hunter 2.0
Beavers I'm not sure about. Sounds like he's competiton at RG.

I would have liked to sign Rawls.

Stave? Bwahaha, have fun with that.

Maybe you could overlap just a little. The Vikings do have a new state of the art Stadium now.
