gopherwrestler Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 With Murray signing, CB is still a top need but probably doesn’t have to be round 1 unless their top guy is available. Leaves a lot open. Evans and the 2nd round draft pick of Booth paired hopefully can be fill at least one of the spots, and maybe even bring back Duke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 A day after losing Peterson to the Steelers, the Vikings have agreed to a two-year, $22 million deal with cornerback Byron Murphy, NFL Media reports. Murphy, 25, joined the Cardinals as a second round pick in 2019, and he made 48 starts in four seasons. He played only nine games last season because of a back injury that landed him on injured reserve. Murphy made 36 tackles, half a sack and four pass breakups. He has 229 tackles, three sacks, five interceptions and 34 pass breakups. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/03/14/report-byron-murphy-agrees-to-two-year-deal-with-vikings/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s better now than it was this morning but that has to be the worst CB room in the league right now. Yeah I could assure that we’re going to get more corners. My best bet would be to bring back Duke Shelley and then draft one of the top CBs in the 1st round. Also I feel like we’d be seeing Cam Bynum or Lewis Cine play some slot this year.

vikingsrule Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 So last year Murphy had as many sacks as the pass rusher we signed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think we got the Colts beat. but yeah, it’s not great. It’s a lot of hope Booth can stay healthy and Evans can keep improving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they a fit for the new scheme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans is athletic enough, and really Booth probably is suited just fine to play Man. Big long armed guy. I was more worried about him in zone just for the fact if he gets lost he was going to be in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried when I saw all of the CBs get signed, but Kwesi totally redeemed himself. Solid first few days of free agency.

battle2heaven Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 He’s like Jonathan jones, but 25 years old. Inside out versatility, and actually has played lots of man snaps. a really, really solid signing for the Vikings. This could be considered a splash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Greedy Williams and Sean Murphy-Bunting are still out there, too. This is a great start, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The draft. 6cbs will go in rd1, and potential starting cbs will run through round 4. It’s super deep. Teams know this and that’s why they aren’t shelling out mega bucks on these cb deals. which is great news for the Vikings. I think they can get another cb in on a value deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
