There goes Irv smith value. Why draft him so high then?

Guess they were prepping themselves - or maybe more 2TE alignments is the plan.

I dunno seems odd with two high profile wr, and a rb they think can dominate, with a tight end in place

Yea, I know - sometimes it's like trying to figure out Foot's mindset when talking about NFL coaches. ...

spend that money on offense Vikings...

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Of course the Bears guy would overvalue an accurate kicker

You tell me of a kicker that could hit the uprights 4 times in a year. Now that's accuracy!

Don't let the fantasy side of things rule the world, rudolph is a great all around TE.

If you lose him, expect D to be firing up the pass rush every time Irv is on the field. Cousins under even more pressure? Yuck.

Rudolph does so much more than his receiving stats, and the Vikings know it.

Howard will be the clear #1 and Sanders the clear #2 assuming both stay healthy.

As far as fantasy opportunities go for this season, Howard has already shown he can handle a full load. Sanders carries a fumbling problem with him into the league.

I'm sure they are excited to go into camp with a full backfield. First time they've had that since Doug got here. Should be productive overall.

Under Pederson the Eagles haven't had a 200 carry RB. Sounds like this year will be no different. Last year think the most any RB had was 120, but they had a lot of injuries with RBs. So Howard running attempts will take a hit this season.

Didn't my old buddy Monte Ball have like one fumble all throughout college, then proceed to regularly cough it up in the pros?

Somebody I liked for awhile did that, made me look like a dumbass..

I am not saying he isnt an important player. However the less money they have to spend on their defense the happier I am.

He's had weak backfields with lots of injuries every year. But draft Sanders first and let Howard go elsewhere. See how that works for you.

I don't plan on having a Eagle RB on any of my FF rosters, that is what works for me.

I believe that was 4 times in ONE game!

Irv's been practicing with the first team and has been moved all over the place. It seems the Vikings are indeed working on a two TE/multi-faceted type of offense, like the 'niners are doing.

Well, you'll be happy to hear they have one of the worst salary cap issues in the league. Gonna be real interesting to see how they free up some money.
