Snake Plissken Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Didn’t have him as a player in top 23 on the board. Is he a true #1 WR? Or a 2 playing with JJ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 To be clear, I think he's going to be good. I just don't love picking WR given the roster. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 Lots of mock drafts had the Vikings taking Addison this last week, so it’s not shocking. But I am a bit surprised that they went with Addison while Porter Jr and Deonte Banks were still on the board. Someone just give Addison a sandwich. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeybrowner47 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Kind of a meh pick in my opinion. Hope I’m wrong but would’ve loved Levis. Kirk isn’t getting any younger and we have zero succession plan in place. Gotta hand it to the hated rivals to the East, they always have a plan. I think it’s been well documented that without a quality/star quarterback it’s almost impossible to win it all. Maybe we’ll trade back up and take Levis or hooker.

Sad People Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I feel like this pick makes the offense one of the best in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 NFL.com analyst Lance Zierlein offered the following breakdown of Addison: "Inside/outside wideout with the speed and agility to work confidently on all three levels of the field, but lacking the size and catch strength generally associated with high-impact performers on the next level. Addison's route running features acceleration, dynamic steering and sudden turns at a moment's notice. While he can get to the spot effectively, he has trouble consistently winning battles when he has coverage company beside him. While Addison failed to make the same impact he did in 2021, his usage at Pitt might be a better indicator of the type of role and production he could be capable of on the next level." https://www.vikings.com/news/jordan-addison-nfl-draft-wide-receiver-usc?fbclid=IwAR1d38UjjL2Wl0ILYXAJCkIkGMG4q7ydJCAmZfyy_EMNKaw57ExgSr4bnWA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they'll have to be because they're going to be required to score 35+ pts a game. With as aggressive as Flores likes to play on defense, expect a lot of big plays against them.

JDBrocks Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Addison’s route running is going to give him a huge leg up in learning the playbook. Can’t wait to see how he does with McCardell and JJ. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Vikings should be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to drafting wide receivers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
