SteelKing728 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 What does this mean for Jeff Gladney, who was brought in as a prototype NCB and Mike Hughes, their 2018 first round pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 One cool note is Minnesota is receiving comp picks this year. 2 of which are for Stephen Weatherly and Mackensie Alexander, who they just brought back lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Could see Alexander as the nickel CB and manning the slot with Gladney as a full time boundary CB. I know Alexander wanted to play on the outside and that’s why he left Mn in the first place, but he’s probably the best slot CB on the roster.

We have Patrick Peterson as well. Do you think one of them move to Safety? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Dantzler or Alexander will be the 4th CB. Guess it will depend upon who looks better. I’d expect Peterson and Gladney to start at CB.

TENINCH Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I'd send Hughes off in a trade or cap saving cut. He's useless at this point. Welcome back Mack!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’s enough now In that top 4 group to feel okay moving on, not that Hughes was really a long term factor given his injury history anyway. Boyd is good enough to be the 5th CB. Where’s Holton Hill these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Dantzler, PP and Gladney are the starting three corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t say it’s giving up on him. He’s a third round pick and you need four good CBs for what Zimmer likes to do. Both Peterson and Alexander are on one year deals.

Maybe the only thing that matters is that 1st round picks get more chances when they fail. One year deals are the norm this year due to the cap going down. A lot of veterans took 1 year deals this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
