I understood the Bradford move at the time. Yes, we lost a 1st rd pick, but I will die on that hill that it was a risk worth taking. It just didn't pan out. The Ngakoue move was an unnecessary one as far as I'm concerned...it was to try and create an idyllic pass rush, but they could have rolled with what they had and probably still had similar results. 100 percent this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not aware of anything public that came out about Gladney prior to the draft. Were there red-flags? Stings a lot more with the Winfield/Minnesota connection no doubt.

But he doesn’t play the position that the team even remotely needed at the time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know about others, but I was getting tired of the old, surly coaches that this team has had for the past 15 years. Do we have the tallest and best looking gm/ head coach combo? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A prefer not to use that word, given how improperly its been used, but the word fits for Gladney. There is no need to sugarcoat it. But then, I guess that makes me a hypocrite for calling out others who call the unvaccinated "knuckle draggers". lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he doesn’t play the position that the team even remotely needed at the time. Winfield Jr probably has the skillset to play both CB/S, although we've only seen him play safety in the NFL. Given how unlikely it was that we would re-sign Anthony Harris, playing Winfield Jr at corner his rookie year and then transitioning back to safety in year 2 might not have been so bad. Even if he was "out of position", he probably wouldn't have been any worse than Gladney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 Adofo-Mensah made note of his career path Tuesday afternoon at his combine podium session and expanded on how much he is enjoying being here in his new role: "It's almost surreal, being back here at the combine. This is, for a lot of people, the last normal experience we had before the pandemic hit. It was, you know, you think about a lot of things that changed in the world and a lot of things that stayed the same. For me personally, the last time I was here, I was with San Francisco, coming off the Super Bowl, and now I'm here leading this organization in Minnesota. "One of the things I appreciate about the combine is the relationships. You get in town and get that 'combine bro hug' or a hug from anybody, and that's the thing I think about the most when it comes to the combine. We all compete at the highest level, but at the end of the day, we appreciate each other. We appreciate the opportunity we have in front of us and are excited to be in each other's company." https://www.vikings.com/news/kwesi-adofo-mensah-nfl-combine-press-conference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
