CriminalMind Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 12 hours ago, ArcticNorseman said: So, you're ready to trade two pro-bowlers and a 1st round pick for a super high risk QB? I don't give two . . . . about their physical gifts if their brains and hearts don't match the price. Of Richardson and Levis, the former is atleast likable but he had some real dud film. Levis is a train wreck in waiting. So no, never give up those kinds of resources without an opportunity to improve the team . . . I.e.: sure, trade Cook for a 3rd, if you can get that. Then fill that pick with a body. The only trade to #3 overall I'd see worthwhile is Hunter and #23, plus next year's 2nd or 3rd so we could get Will Anderson, and even that's not a sure bet. Its unlikely "Arizona" will want Cook or Z Smith in a direct trade to #3. The assets going to Arizona would likely be exclusively draft picks and possibly Hunter. I don't foresee Cook and/or Z Smith, being traded for anything higher then a 5th rounder. Also, no team is climbing 20 spots in the 1st round (into #3) to take a defensive player (it would only be for QB). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Adofo-Mensah: “Quarterback is the most important position in our sport. Ultimately, Kevin and I — these aren’t things you just kind of decide in the moment. You have to have plans, you have to have strategies, you have to have different ways of getting to that answer. We’ve had these conversations, they’re ongoing. There’s lots of different avenues in terms of addressing that position. I wouldn’t necessarily box us in to just one. We do know it’s the most important position in this sport and we’ll treat it with that kind of importance.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/04/13/vikings-would-ideally-like-to-have-next-quarterback-behind-kirk-cousins-for-a-year/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To talk about Hooker being a failure as an NFL starter with the certainty that some in this thread are talking is nothing more than conjecture. It's okay to have an opinion...but doggone it...label it as your opinion. It’s not that serious… it’s implied and understood by almost everyone that these are opinions… hopefully we are adults and don’t need to constantly put “imo.” Get out of your feelings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he needs a new contract. At best, you could hope for a sixth or a swap for another similar player at a different position. I read it somewhere else and was just looking for input but wasn't he a LT prospect coming out that we moved to guard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played LT at Boise State, so he was obviously listed as a tackle entering the draft. But there’s no information to prove or disprove what position other teams viewed him as playing. We do know, or can make an informed guess, that the Vikings never viewed him as a tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but just because the Vikings viewed him as a guard it doesn't mean other teams didn't view him as a Tackle which is kind of why I asked the question.

As the reader of a post, it's not my job to divine the intent of the poster. I think all of us could do a better job of communicating clearly and concisely not leaving the reader to interpret whether the poster is sharing an opinion, or is stating a "fact" that doesn't list a credible source. If it is "understood" that all is opinion, then I failed that part of Footballs Future orientation, because, a lot of the time I can't tell.

AP_allday2869 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Just read we have the most 1st and 2nd round draft capital into the CB position, yet our CBs are a disaster. Maybe we should just invest more salary cap into proven talent then keep wasting picks on it. Of course, it is a little late this year to do that.

Or maybe a new front office has nothing to do with the past, and it should be ignored. One draft isn't enough to make any decisions on.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
