I’m not worried about him missing time, but we still need to see the adequate development as a CB. I’d still love to see the team keep Alexander, sign a veteran (Johnathan Joseph), and draft a CB in round 1 or 2. Hughes and Joseph outside, Alexander in the slot, Hill as the primary reserve, and a high level rookie learning to take over for Joseph.

VikeManDan Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 And I thought Hill played well when given the opportunity. He’ll be entering year 3. Im not saying we shouldn’t add anyone but I’m hoping it moves down the list a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should only be concerned with Hill's development as a professional player, but it's his maturity as a man that will ultimately prove whether he is a Viking asset or a liability. I think the jury is still out....WAY out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) That puts the Vikings at $17.9M in cap space. Edited March 15, 2020 by SemperFeist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perrynoid Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 So, based on people's concerns, what is your draft/FA priorities? 1. CB>LG>3-tech>NT>S 2. LG>CB>3-tech>NT>S 3. 3-tech>CB>LG>NT>S Other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can get some decent NT's and S's in the mid-rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisplacedViking Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Based on the talent in this year's draft, I would hope for an offensive tackle and a wide receiver to be on our radar as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) CB, UT and OL are still my top priorities. I think there will end up being a platoon at NT with Stephen and Watts. S and WR are the next needs. Harris is probably replaced by Sendejo thus more depth will be needed. I don’t like the WR group if Diggs or Thielen get hurt. And who knows what’s going on in Diggs mind right now. Im still hopeful that Griffen returns and that is assumed in my needs above.

perrynoid Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Here is a guy I have been hoping we could get in the mid-rounds, Benito Jones: Had 5.5 sacks last year also, so would add something to the pass rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Priority and value don’t go hand in hand. While I think the top priority is the OL, mainly the LG position, I’m not interested in using a high value draft pick (1st/2nd) on a guard. While on the flip side, I don’t see OT as a priority, it is one of the 4 most valuable positions, and there are a handful of players in the draft that I’d easily use a 1st on. So, while it may not be a priority. It would be a great value pick, and possibly allow you to kick Reiff inside to guard. CB should be an early round focus. We might be able to afford one of Alexander or Waynes, and maybe a low priced veteran, but there’s a good chance the team will need a rookie to play a good amount. 3T is a position I’d look for in FA. Look to find a vet on a 1 year deal. Try to find another Tom Johnson-esque player. I’d also be looking for a guy on the second day. A rotational type player that you can develop. WR and S I’m not too worried about. It’s an extremely deep WR draft, so I’m not gonna throw an early pick at the position. And a mid round S is probably good enough. Zimmer and this team have never put much into the safety spot next to Smith, yet have gotten great production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
