Guest Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) 58 minutes ago, RpMc said: Not the best way to go about things if you actually want to build a contending team. Draft early what you can't develop well, draft late what you can - if Zimmer/Spielman need to draft early round CBs to make the defense work, then it's what we should do. I think that it would be best to bring in some stop gap free agent CB's to compete with Hughes and Hill along with some mid to low round rookies and UDFA's to compete and add depth. If this team is going to contend in the near future, they would be wise to gain strength in the trenches, especially on offense. On defense, if the Vikings can produce a better pass rush from the linemen, that will compensate for some deficiencies in the backfield for this season.

Well, the statement that you are replying to is baloney anyhow. He doesn't know that Zimmer/staff can't develop late round CBs. He hasn't needed to. That's just a statement that people throw around to knock Zimmer for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperborean Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 There's a chance a tackle like Andrew Thomas could fall to 22. Small chance, but still. Josh Jones may be there and may not, considering OTs are so valued around the league. Henderson, Gladney and Jaylon Johnson maybe Fulton in the first is almost a must. In the first, I would hope to see OT, CB or pass rushing DT. If a guy who is not one of those falls and the value is too good to pass up, so be it. We need talent at a lot of positions. I would hope we would pass on WR in the first. I would take a RB before WR honestly. WR before the 3rd or 4th round would be ill advised at this time with this coaching staff.

Purplexing Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Want in Rd 1: CB, DE. I would accept a top 3 OT who fell to 22 by other teams going after other position players. Don't want: Ten Pick Rick to trade back both round 1 picks to accumulate more picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kparty15 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Want: Andrew Thomas, Tristan Wirfs, C.J. Henderson, A.J. Terrell, K’Lavon Chaisson Don’t Want: 1st Round WR, Kristian Fulton, Jeff Gladney, Noah Igbinoghene, Ezra Cleveland, Cesar Ruiz, A.J.

We're a run-first team (don't tell me you hadn't heard lol) and likely can't afford to resign Cook. Even if he is resigned, I think there needs to be some more talent to take up the slack when he gets injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikings209 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Want CJ Henderson or Javon Kinlaw to me both players improve our defense day 1. Don't want IOL cause I don't see one worth the 22 or 25 picks. Also Ruggs III to me I just don't see it with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already got Cook and Mattison, and even if Cook leaves after this year, a RB can be drafted next year to pair with Mattison. It makes little sense to draft another round 2/3 RB this year unless the team moves Cook prior to/during the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafting one with a top 100 pick this year would be a gross mismanagement of assets given the youth injection and starting caliber players this team needs and positions that are much more important. To each their own, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
