vikingsrule Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I’d probably have taken the extra pick and a CB at 29 but I’m not hired to be a GM. If the turned down a day 2 pick, that would be disappointing. If no day 2 pick was offered, I get why they opted to stay put. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuck to their guns. commendable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Well, a plus is that he's only 21...and went to a school that produced Larry Fitzgerald (Jordan's time at Pitt was more important than at USC), but it also produced just okay players in Tyler Boyd and Antonio Bryant and a bust in Jonathan Baldwin. And I really think Jordan needs to hang a giant clock around his neck. Edited April 28, 2023 by swede700 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrplChilPill Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 1 hour ago, AP_allday2869 said: I don't think the defense will be as bad as last year. We have made moves to fix it, but they just weren't through the draft just yet. The CB depth is strong this class, so we could still realistically move up at any point to nab one. There is no question in my mind that our coaches still believe in last years draft class. Plus, Booth and Evans will actually (hopefully) be healthy and can continue to develop. Same with Cine. Otomewo and Asamoah showed some nice flashes as well. Addison could have the potential to make our offense truly elite, and the addition of Flores plus the development of last year's class could still make our defense serviceable. Evans had how many concussions? Anyone that thinks that's going away is likely wrong, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cearbhall Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I hear talk about Addison being a good addition to the team because the team isn't sure if they'll be able to hang onto Osborn after this year. What is not being said, and what I really hope wasn't a factor, is the possibility that the Vikings took a WR in the first because they are concerned they won't be able to hang onto JJ Jefferson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first thought.....but I think they sign him almost 100% Edited April 28, 2023 by PrplChilPill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
