Depending upon how much he wants in the end, I wouldn't be surprised to see them extend Bradbury for a few years just to see what they can build together with the other 4 on the line. TE will certainly be a necessity, but not a high one considering the offense they are running. They'll also likely draft a RB somewhere to replace Mattison and provide depth. I don't think WR will be a high priority at all, but it will be a spot where they need to add depth. Osborn may take the #2 spot because they'll likely have to shuffle Thielen's money around to create space and he'll be another year older, so he may drop to #3 and compete with Nailor, who I think has a pretty good chance of being another guy like Osborn. Defensively they will need to draft someone at every level, as they'll need a NT, but will probably need DEs more, since Tomlinson's contract voids after this year. They'll need ILBs since both Kendricks and Hicks' contracts are up after '23, and of course, they can always use more CBs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Relax Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Would O'Connell want to draft the QB of the future? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he probably would, but like always, it will depend upon how the board falls. Who knows, 6 QBs may be taken before it even gets to our pick, so they'd be better off taking one of the elite talents at another position that drops.

Given how he’s played these first 4 weeks, a new contract for Tomlinson is likely the top in-house priority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I would not let him get away. If it meant keeping Tomlinson, I’d cut Thielen, Cook and whoever our long snapper is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have still been thinking of Cutting. I had to look up who the long snapper was and found an interesting article on him https://www.espn.com/blog/minnesota-vikings/post/_/id/31494/from-family-bar-to-best-buy-to-the-no-2-ranked-long-snapper-a-viking-lives-out-his-nfl-dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I know they need a bunch of other positions, but Michael Mayer would be a phenomenal fit in this offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but it is pretty deep, not sure Jayden Daniels declares but most of these guys might not even be drafted just based on pure numbers. So could get a UDFA QB potentially that is pretty decent kind of easily. Kedon Slovis Pitt Jayden Daniels LSU RS JR Dillon Gabriel Oklahoma Spencer Sanders Ok State RS Aidan O'Connell Purdue JT Daniels West Virginia RS Stetson Bennett Georgia RS Malik Cunningham Louisville RS Sean Clifford Penn State RS Casey Thompson Nebraska RS Gerry Bohanon USF RS Tyler Shough Texas Tech Adrian Martinez Kansas State Tanner Morgan Minnesota RS Assuming all these guys get drafted if they declare but that might not even be the case, only 10 QBs got drafted last year and on this list is 15. A lot of COVID guys with another year on the previous list and even this one. Penix, McCall and Hartman might not declare but pretty sure all the rest will. Bryce Young Alabama JR CJ Stroud Ohio State RS SOPH Anthony Richardson Florida RS SOPH Will Levis Kentucky RS DJ Uiagalelei Clemson JR Bo Nix Oregon Jaren Hall BYU RS JR Spencer Rattler South Carolina RS Michael Penix Jr Washington RS JR Hendon Hooker Tennessee RS Sam Hartman Wake Forest RS JR Dorian Thompson-Robinson UCLA RS Grayson McCall Coastal Carolina RS JR Phil Jurkovec Boston College RS Brennan Armstrong Virginia RS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
