You’d never find me in their forums because I’m only interested in the Vikings. By the way, I never said anything about hating the fan base. I don’t really care about the fan base honestly. I don’t like most of y’all, but it doesn’t mean I’m going to stop being a Vikings fan lol. Edited April 28, 2023 by Purplepride323 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine treating someone poorly, disliking someone, or even disliking players because they're rooting/affiliated with another tam. It's like the 'grown up' version of hating fellow kindergarteners for their preferred color or hating fellow high schoolers for their preferred pickup truck brand. It's all lame. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you just don’t understand sports or rivalries. It’s actually what makes it fun. Every protagonist has an antagonist. It’s just life my guy. Get used to it.

So if Hockenson and Oliver are out there, Jefferson and Addison can still be out there as well. I think KJ Osborn will be the 3rd WR once Addison gets going. Him and Jefferson will be more dangerous for opposing defenses than Osborn and Jefferson. Agreed completely, and with playing two TEs more which they have to do honestly or else why give Oliver 7 mil a year for 3 years? Addison and Jefferson is a better pair and Osborn can fill in when needed or if Addison is slow to start out as a rookie. It was a fine pickup getting Addison, not sure where all this Addison dislike is coming from, what because he is 170ish? What if he was 205 no one would have a problem with it? My guess is yes, but last time I checked route running is crazy important and Addison is as good as they get and has great high jump ball skills for a smaller thin WR. The dude has skills and should be a great Viking. Just like when they got Jefferson right after Diggs left, getting Addison right after Thielen is gone seems like a great way for things to fall.

I say again they got Murphy, they got J. Williams and if Cine is just ok they are already instantly improved in the DB spot. Much less having a far superior DC now and also adding Davenport and Lowry. Sure the D sucked but not sure getting Deonte Banks would have completely changed the team... Also not sure one is in the position to totally give up on Booth already and Evans and they were just drafted. If that is the case that is pretty damn sad and they need a new GM if they already know those corners both suck along with Cine at safety. All these guys are still on the board and five of them could be awesome slot corner types in Antonio Johnson, Phillips, Hodges-Tomlinson, Cam Smith and Mullen. Antonio Johnson Kelee Ringo Clark Phillips Jartavius Martin Mekhi Garner Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson Cam Smith DJ Turner Cory Trice Eli Ricks Julius Bents Tiawan Mullen One could easily fall to the Vikings with that 3rd pick no doubt about it. So they can still get a CB where as WR no way a Jordan Addison route runner is around in the 3rd round. Jayden Reed, Tillman and Mingo are all solid players but Addison is a better route runner than them all and was more consistent over the past two years and has better hands than any of them as well.

PrplChilPill Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) I'm very worried about Evans mutliple concussions, and that isn't on the GM at all. No idea how one can even imply that. Booth was a good risk, that may or may not pay off. One of the CBs they signed missed how much of last year, and was how good before that? Cine isn't a CB, unless he goes to the slot which seems unlikely. We don't agree, that's all. And, I was trying to explain why some fans preferred others to Addison.....
