Jimmy Graham, Mo Wilk, and Tramon are good pickups for an off-season, that's 3 starters. Not a sexy Rams off-season, but it's not horrible either. It's not impossible to fill the remaining needs with 12 picks as well. We have higher picks in every round which means we will have a better chance to get better players. And The Vikings overpaid for a QB who never won a Playoff game, whoopty freaking doo. I know this poster from another board. He's a doom and gloomer. His statement is indeed ridiculous and doesn't merit much consideration beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brit Pack Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 A quick question, if any of you were a free agent and it is April the 8th, are you actively trying to get signed before the draft and the influx of new talent, or do you prefer now to wait it out after the draft and target teams that didn't address needs as there is no other way to improve their roster other than signing what is remaining in the free agent pool?

I'd absolutely wait at this point. If I'm a corner and I want to play, I'm not signing with a team only for a corner to fall in the draft, get drafted and then replace me on the depth chart in a youth movement. Every time I think this I just remember that time Keyshawn Johnson had to commentate on his replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too think our moves are steps in the right direction and we certainly have the draft to maybe fill a "few" holes, but I disagree with the bolded part. We cannot simply rely on the draft to fill our remaining holes this offseason. It needs to be draft plus active FA following the draft. We still need a veteran CB, we still need a veteran WR, we could use a veteran S as well. Those moves, especially the first two are a necessity IMO even if we draft a CB and WR in rounds 1 and 2.

I'm definitely all for more FAs, though I still think the draft can fill most of the needs if we draft well. If we can address CB/EDGE/WR early I'll be a happy camper.

Leader Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 That sounds like Janis-level money. Did he work out for teams? Actually show healing or what he's capable of doing (?) cause it doesnt sound like anybody wanted place a bet on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been a very poor assessment if so. I hope it was merely related to medical or he just wanted to go to NE because if we simply figured he wouldn't be better than Allison, Clark and co. then that's very scary.
