Kearse and Alexander gone

Rolling in comp picks next year

 

[PnkPanther]

Sendejo gone, I'm not too sad.

Kearse had no desrie to return to MN, which is shame, thought he played well.

Defense is being rebuilt

sounds like he wasn't a fan of Zimmer

Griffen announced on the gram he's not coming back

Time to get young.

Sounds like they're open to removing franchise tag on harris for a draft pick, I think that would be a mistake. Can't let these guys we develop get away.

We can't spend that much cap room on safeties. We need corners!!

 

[Nosferatu]

Do I have a new favorite Viking already??





This is the kind of guy you wanna root for!

So how many draft picks do we have now? Looks like Zimmer and Spielman both have another 2-3 years left with the team minimum. There's no way the expectations will be high after losing so many vets while gaining so little.

The thing about going THIS young with a team is, they'll need to make a title run before their rookie deals are all up, if they make one with them at all. Because even if they have a great draft or two in a row, that's a lot of guys that will inevitably have to be let go once it's time to pay them all in a 1-2 year span.

They currently have 12, I wouldn't be surprised if they traded up or future assets

They're also willing to remove franchise tag on Harris for a pick. They'll get some comp picks next year too

So... why not trade Cook while you can?

As much as I like Cook, I have to agree with you. They're not going to be able to afford keeping him once it comes time to pay him after that Cousins extension. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if they could get a team to give up a nice 1st and perhaps another later round pick for him. There's even a few teams with top 10 picks that would be worth looking into. They might as well try getting something for him since they're not doing anything this year, and he's gone after that regardless.

If they can't keep him, what was the sense in extending Cousins? They should have let him walk after this season.

Stay safe, my fellow Minnesota sports fans....

I see some mock with us taking Diggs brother? is there any way that would happen

Would be pretty funny IMO.

He'd probably hold out and say he wouldn't play for the Vikings and demand a trade

 

[Nosferatu]

This is what I have done so far in a mock for the Vikes!



MINNESOTA VIKINGS

1.22 : Isaiah Wilson - OT - Georgia
1.25 : Tee Higgins - WR - Clemson
2.58 : Noah Igbinoghene - CB - Auburn
3.89 : Solomon Kindley - OG - Georgia
4.117 : Trevis Gipson - DE - Tulsa
4.132 : Tyre Phillips - OT/OG - Mississippi St.
5.155 :
5.175 :

6.205 :
7.219 :
7.249 :
7.253 :

TRADES : 105 to Green Bay for 117 & 175

 

[Nosferatu]

I figure O'Neill moves to the left side, Wilson at RT, Kindley at LG and Phillips at RG. If the Vikings are ever going to win with Cousins he has to have much better protection, OL should be addressed early and often! I'm probably gonna try to get another WR next then i'll move to defense.

Vikes on the road in Seattle again?
