Can’t comment on the non-football stuff.

I didn’t have Ingram anywhere near my radar, so know very little about him. This is one of those draft picks where I need to trust the Viking’s FO. 

 

Wouldn’t say they’ve earned it.

Agreed.  And I read the details, so thank you...but again, they were simply allegations (which were certainly disturbing), which ended being dropped.  This organization has always done their due diligence before bringing someone into their house, so I have faith that they did do that.  You can choose to judge him personally, but it's also been 7 years since then and there hasn't been any reoccurrence of that that is known.

Not sure if you think I was judging him, but that was certainly not the case at all. I can’t comment on his past because it simply doesn’t factor into my evaluation of the draft pick at this point. Like you said it was 7 years ago and I’m 100% sure agree we did our due diligence. I trust both his character and football ability checks out.

They are simply better evaluators of talent then I could ever be. And add in the fact he’s a guard makes it even more difficult for me to make any sensible evaluation of this pick; therefore, I trust in the MN Viking’s scouting department and FO.

I’m not saying I’m any better but I can’t say I trust what they are doing. Failed HC and GM rates are pretty high.
