Patrick Peterson, welcome!  And to those that say he is Xavier Rhodes, well Xavier played pretty damn decent for the Colts last year and was clearly not done for like many thought he was around here.

 

Secondly, Xavier Rhodes is not near the athlete Patrick Peterson is now and will be.  Peterson has awesome coverage and ball skills and will love to see what he does and how he can help the young corners.

 

CB Patrick Peterson
SS Harrison Smith
FS ?
CB Cam Dantzler

Slot CB Gladney or Hughes

 

Still a question at safety but Peterson provides a lot of stability, wish they could have got a veteran OG but one year deal will see what he can do for a 8 time Pro bowler and 3 time All pro.  Curious why they did not give that $10 mil to Anthony Harris but maybe he wanted a long term deal obviously.

Not a bad looking defense as long as they figure out something legit at that safety spot.  Tomlinson should be an absolute stud if Hunter can stay healthy.  Wonnum could become the starter at DE, same with Weatherly possibly.  Will be fun to see how Peterson does, is a big physical press corner who is wildly experienced and proven.  Could be a great help to young corners who all flashed at times last year.

 

DE Danielle Hunter / Stephen Weatherly / Hercules Mata'afa / Jordan Brailford
DT Dalvin Tomlinson / James Lynch
DT Michael Pierce / Armon Watts
DE Jayln Holmes / DJ Wonnum / Kenny Willekes
OLB Anthony Barr / Ryan Connelly
ILB Eric Kendricks / Cameron Smith
OLB Nick Vigil / Troy Dye
CB Patrick Peterson / Kris Boyd
SS Harrison Smith / Josh Metellus
FS                         / Myles Dorn
CB Cam Dantzler / Harrison Hand
Nickel  Gladney / Hughes

Well.... the secondary part is handled, onto the offensive line.

Handled?  Who the hell is playing FS?  No way it is handled but is greatly improved with adding Tomlinson and Peterson.  Should be fun to have such an exciting talent like Peterson on the Vikings.  Arguably if he plays just average, in terms of talent he is the best CB the Vikings have had since Antonie Winfield and has been 9 years since he played here.  Xavier Rhodes was great but is not the same type of talent Patrick Peterson was or as consistent long term.

I’m guessing that Harrison Hand is going to see a position change. 

Yeah with his size that could happen no question.  Surprised they did not do that a little last year but with Anthony Harris was not really needed.  

 

 

Adrian Peterson I would love, would have loved him on the team last year for $1 mil a year, and still if he is that low of a number would be great to have him as a 3rd RB since Mike Boone is gone.  Vikings did not want to guarantee Boone $2.6 mil and the Broncos did, Peterson made less than that last year.  If he would come for around $1 mil why not?  And yes Cook and Mattison were both injured at times last year, thankfully never anything super major for Cook.

Not exactly what I was getting at. The tweet said they were looking at bringing someone in for the secondary..... that would be Peterson..... and they are also looking to the offensive line.

I didn’t mean that every spot in the secondary was solved. We haven’t even gotten to the draft yet. Who knows maybe the Safety spot is solved in the draft.
