He made what I consider to be a very odd comment regarding the trade back with the Lions. I posted it in another thread but it amounted to a worry that the Lions "were going to make a trade with someone to move up". I can dig it up, but it just sounded odd that KAM would care if the Lions wanted to move up when he should have been more focused on whether the compensation they were offering in the deal made it reasonable for the Vikings to trade that far down in the 1st. It was odd.

Whether trading with teams in the division is an "old wives tale" remains to be seen, does it not? Doing that does mean more direct comparisons not of theoretical relative value between picks and the players chosen with those picks, but at least twice-a-year direct, on-field comparisons of the players chosen, especially when the trades involve positions that directly go against each other in those games.

You can't tell me that if the receivers chosen by the Lions and Packers respectively go on to consistently thrash the defensive backs chosen by the Vikings, those trades won't make KAM look any worse in retrospect.

It's a question of whether you let the fear of that outcome coming to fruition keep you from considering trades in your division. I don't deny that it could become a story that fans and media use to criticize him. What I'm saying is that I like that he's not afraid to let it rip. In all aspects of life and in all cultures throughout human history there are elements of folklore--the way elders have done things. There is always a good reason for folklore to exist. But there are also silly, irrational superstitions that the numbers / data just don't support. To me, it's refreshing that he's going for it.

Great post. I've always considered the not trading within your division thing to be hogwash. If we shouldn't be helping them they shouldn't be helping us. And if we don't trade with them they trade with somebody else. The Puke was desperate to get Watson and we obliged by gaining two 2nd round picks while only giving one to them.

This video is very worth watching. It gives a clear indication that they were targeting Cine from the get go and thought they could get him at 32.

That is correct so that should be fun!

By your choice of words, your assumption appears to be that Kwesi has to prove he wasn’t wrong. As if the best he could do was to not get fleeced.

But isn’t it also possible that he fleeced those teams with whom he traded?

The choice seems to be that he was either very wrong or he wasn’t. Not that he was right. But at this point, we don’t know how any of these players will turn out. So isn’t there also a possibility that the players the Vikings drafted will torment the Lions and Packers?

Very possible they torment the Lions and Pukers. I predict they will.

The bye week sucks, Bears and Packers get bye weeks in week 14

We could have easily had the bye in week 5 after London. 7 is better.

Yeah not that much better, but I like to see the positive. We start out hosting our whole division in the first 4 or 5 weeks I think. We should be hosting at the end of the season, but the NFL in all their logic wants us playing in frigid possibly dangerous conditions.

LOL I didn't think of that. I just saw the video unavailable thing and thought that was that. It works. First thing is we clearly wanted Cine over Daxton Hill.

Yeah, it's impossible to know because the Vikings produced and edited the video, but the chronology in the video shows them worrying about whether Cine will be there from early on, apparently shortly after they made the trade at 12.

Couple of other observations: KAM and KOC look relaxed and like they're having fun. The Wilfs look terrified and unsure if it was a good deal. Kwesi sure doesn't look like a puppet on the Wilfs' strings, as he's been depicted by some.

Something about the way Cine carries himself screams stud to me. I love that he's moved from Haiti to FL to MA to GA. He's got some life experience and isn't some wide-eyed kid overawed by the big lights.

These are the 12 most important games, IMO, which will determine our fate this season. I see 9-10 wins on the season.

[IIsweet]

I see the potential for a 12 win season. It is a lot to ask for with a 1st year HC, new offensive and defensive schemes, etc. I just think that we have the returning players to make the transition smooth. Added some exciting pieces to the puzzle. Some draftees with a lot of talent and experience too.
I also am very impressed with the way that Kwesi works with his HC in getting the players on draft day.
Mark Wilf immediately looks at a value chart, or whatever it was but I think that he and Zygi are along for the ride. It was not a Zygi or Mark draft. This was the new regimes draft ! I bet that the Wilfs were very involved in Rick drafts.
Maybe I like it so much because that is how I envision running a draft room if I were in that position. I get more excited the more I watch of this GM, HC, and players.
