VikeManDan Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hopefully McCardell sticks around and can work some magic with Reagor. With that being said another WR could really open this O up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafting an offensive player doesn’t stop you from improving the defense. Just look at San Francisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be passable, but getting another receiver to keep Osborn as a long(er) term WR3 only makes the offense better and more explosive. Osborn has got better every year in the NFL and will be 26 next season. I think he still has room to grow. You could do way worse than him as your #2. If we move on from Thielen, I could see us going after a big possession receiver like Allen Lazard to compete with Osborn though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd bring absolutely nothing that the Vikings need. They already have a big possession receiver...his name is TJ Hockenson. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need a big possession guy, they need a homerun guy, someone that can get vertical that defenses need to account for. That will open the field more for JJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I would love to steal Parris Campbell from Indy. That's the kind of receiver we need and would benefit from working with McCardell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's why a lot of people are suggesting Mecole Hardman as well...they are both around the same age (24-25) and would bring added speed to the WR room. Campbell would probably cost a lot less. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ability to threaten vertically is much needed for the Vikings. Yes! He would fit perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, look at the top teams in the league, Buffalo, Philadelphia, 49ers, Kansas City and Cincinnati all of them can play defense extremely well. Unless the Vikings have a great roster top to bottom they have no shot at competing. All of those teams have great rosters with talent behind the starters. The Vikings barely even have starters defensively much less talent behind the starters. All comes down to drafting though, 49ers did not have any super high picks but they made their picks count. 2021 they got Hufanaga, Lenoir and Mitchell all as 5-6th round picks and all produced in that game against Dallas. And in 2022 obviously got Purdy with the last pick and a starter on the OL in the 4th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithVikings28 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 On 1/22/2023 at 10:59 AM, SemperFeist said: The Vikings need a true outside receiver. Osborn does his most damage out of the slot. Keep him and/or Thielen in the slot. But this team doesn’t have a reliable outside receiver opposite Jefferson, especially if Thielen is gone. They need to find that receiver. Looks like Johnston is your pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
