.Buzz Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Take good care of him MN. Don't let the social media the last few months sour on him. He's a very hard-working guy that will bring a ton to your pass rush. Has his issues in run D (that's pretty much all due to size) but he's going to wreck things with Hunter up there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s nothing more than a rental. I don’t know if we can give a lesser DE more money than Hunter and keep him happy. Doesn’t strike me as likely given what we know about Hunter.

vikings209 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 We basically have elite duos on all 3 levels of the defense now. Hunter and Yannick on the DL, Kendrick and Barr(Barr is good but Kendricks makes them elite), Harris and Smith. Not too shabby I'd say. 😈 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 How does he compare to Diggs as a player? Obviously the contract situation is quite a bit different but I feel like we got a lot more for Diggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehops Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 really like the trade and i hope hunter is able to play (at his usual high level of play) because i'm really excited for all of our pass-rushing combos now. hunter+ngakoue off the edge, hunter+ngakoue with odenigbo on third downs and then the nascar package with those three and wonnum. i know ngakoue's weakness is against the run which will be a bit of an adjustment to watch since we've been used to hunter and griffen for a long time, who both have more than enough strength to hold up there.

But given the position importance, Ngakoue is probably more valuable than Diggs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given the position importance, Ngakoue is probably more valuable than Diggs. Not sure I would make that leap, Diggs was very dynamic as a receiver and a better overall player especially lately. Mind you Ngakoue was a steal I think for what they gave up for him. Still who knows if they can sign him long term so could be giving up those picks for just one year of production. That is the only issue because what they gave up is nothing compared to what the Bills gave up for Diggs. I agree he is a really important player, a pass rushing DE and the Vikings filled the void Diggs left at WR with his clone anyway who has much less emotional baggage. Pretty damn good DL I must say, especially if Mata'afa continues to improve, Lynch could be a damn good player, same with Willekes and Wonnum. Odenigbo had a great season last year and can stay in that role now that Ngakoue is here. Danielle Hunter Q Eddie Yarbrough Stacy Keely Kenny Willekes Q Jaleel Johnson Armon Watts David Moa Michael Pierce Shamar Stephen Jalyn Holmes Hercules Mata'afa James Lynch Yannick Ngakoue Ifeadi Odenigbo Anthony Zettel D.J. Wonnum They do need some DT greatness though for them to reach full potential as a unit. Mata'afa I think could do that or Lynch but will see. Need big improvement from Stephen and Johnson that is for sure and more production out of both. Love that Odenigbo can still play that pass rushing DT spot now that Ngakoue is locked down that other DE position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc_vikingfan Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Happy with the trade he is a play-maker on the DLine Just a little shocked we will make this type of trade. It's either Hunter injury or contract dispute is a real issue Wonum and Lynch need a redshirt year. Rumor of trying to trade up for Charisson was probably true Rick has a ton of picks and the timing was right to take a chance on an impact player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I'm excited for this trade. He's a young player which a ton of potentional. Hunter and him will need new contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 For me, the trade has nothing to do with anything but adding an impact player at a premium position. It’s got the added benefit of sliding Odenigbo back into his role as a rotational end and interior rusher, and an improved pass rush helps out our young corners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter has missed two weeks of practice. I think this had at least something to do with that. That said, he took less money, he didn’t cost us a ton, and if he sticks around for 4 years he’s an absolute steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
