1.22 - MIN: Justin Jefferson WR/LSU (Jersey #18)

[vikingsrule 1,968]

Wanted Fulton here. Hopefully they get him at 25. Jefferson is a better pick than OL, just concerned with the losses on defense than losing Diggs.

wow. not a fan.

why trade Diggs just to draft a WR that has an extremely slim chance of ever being that good?

Honestly, my thought is Diggs was just a headache for far to many.... still need two good receivers. Also saves cap money.

so what was the point of trading Diggs for Jefferson?

Well, if he's the exact same player theoretically, we get a 4, 5 and 6 and a player who isn't upset with our teams offensive philosophy.

One player had a poor attitude and didn’t want to be here. That player also costs $10+ million.

and the other player could end up busting out of the league and being as productive as Treadwell.

I'd like to see them super focus the offense early and shotgun the defense late. Zim needs to step up and work with a little less stacked shelf (probably still need a corner early tho)

I mean you could say that about any other player taken at this spot too.

This is the best player available  top level route runner who also can go up and catch the ball.

Not to mention a little cap space this year and a lot in the future. Still sucks that he is gone, loved him as a player minus the tantrums.

Can't be worse than Treadwell.....right?

Right?

Right......???????????????????

Love this pick right here, as yall know im a HUGE fan of Jefferson. Day 1 starter and will be a productive player. 

Now lets get a CB and trade for Trent Williams.

The more I learn about him, the more I am down with this pick

Well, he kept catching my eye during Burrow’s highlights. Hoping for the best.
