Kwesi... quiet, but deadly. Silent, but deadly! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 did someone earlier this week write that Flores is a good college talent evaluator also? that would be a big plus: After striking gold in the 2015 draft, selecting future Pro Bowlers Eric Kendricks and Danielle Hunter, Minnesota hasn’t drafted a single defensive Pro Bowler since. Of 75 defensive players drafted since 2016, Cam Bynum is the only player who was a first-string starter entering the 2022 season. No starting caliber players have emerged from the 2016 to 2019 draft classes and received second contracts in Minnesota. https://heavy.com/sports/minnesota-vikings/ejiro-evero-nfl-news-brian-flores/?fbclid=IwAR1phsF7K5Tc7pcCDvp0-DRCrx8cT119Hpql9X2g_XYj8wXokxJcP1lc-tg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't been developing much talent on defense 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I’d be interested to hear if Flores was one of the scouts who’s scouted O’Connell for New England. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) If you’re a Harrison Smith fan, this is fantastic news. Almost guaranteed he’ll be back. If you’re a Patrick Peterson fan, you may need to prepare yourself for disappointment. But I’m very curious what this could mean for Za’Darius Smith. With Hunternon one side, does Z fit what Flores looks for on the opposite side? Edited February 7, 2023 by SemperFeist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it’s a very team friendly Think you may have to roll with Wonnum and Jones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
