Keenan McCardell the Vikings WR coach made an impassioned plea for our first round pick to be a non-WR. If you can believe that our drafting of a WR seems very doubtful.

It would be so cool to add another top notch WR to this offense. It may be just as good as getting better blocking by having a receiver break open sooner. I'm not advocating for it one way or another, but it's fun to think about.fiestavike wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 8:45 amI hope they take his advice.VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Wed Apr 27, 2022 1:21 pm Keenan McCardell the Vikings WR coach made an impassioned plea for our first round pick to be a non-WR.

There are always a couple of teams reaching for QBs.
How many go before #12? Who falls in our laps because of it?

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

I'm expecting O'Connor to use a lot of scheming guys open, pre-snap motion, and simplifying reads for Cousins. Kirk's at his best when there is a plan and the plan works. When A and B lead to C, Kirk is one of the best QBs in the league. We don't need imposing WRs. A Deebo type would be really useful, but someone that's going to blow the top off or win contested catches would end up being somewhat wasted in what I anticipate the Vikings doing offensively at this point. A TE or WR/RB combo that presents mismatches and can be schemed into one on one matchups or open space will be more productive, and lead Kirk to be more productive, than a second or third #1 WR (depending on how you count Thielen at this point).VikingsFan84 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 11:45 amI am sure they will, I mean Osborn played pretty well last year
