I just stated that O'Neill can fill that job, if it's actually needed...or potentially, they could certainly use Linval. I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk about it. Maybe Treadwell could play te Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crowded as it is. Or perhaps someone like Roc Thomas is waived to make room for a 6th WR. Roc Thomas could be moved to IR if we want to keep him.

swede700 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I'm not moving Thomas to IR on a hammy for a WR. Has anyone heard anything on Morgan yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, Boone has out performed Thomas, who’s likely going to be a regular inactive with the other backs healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Thomas has shown enough to fear that someone else will claim him to an active roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krauser Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 They don't need to waive anyone to make room for Beebe. They already waived Storm Norton and Beebe's already on the roster. They have 8 OL on the roster right now (Compton, Hill and Jones as backups). They started the year with 9. So there's room for a 6th WR now.

wcblack34 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Very good read. If it wasn't for that Green Bay game, I think everyone would be quite hyped about our Top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the end of the the day Treadwell is a third WR, I'd certainly hope that first round picks would be valued more highly to find starters. Obviously no one knew Thielen would break out and become a top 10 WR, but when we evaluate if the pick was good in hindsight, it will be hard to justify it. Treadwell didn't do much in the game Diggs missed this year. I can't see MN picking up the fifth year option on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Treadwell certainly hasn't lived up to first round status or expectations, that's obvious. but given our top 3 WR's are a 1st, a 5th, and a UDFA does it really matter? you lose some and you win some when you draft. when it comes to receivers, we have definitely won.

vike daddy Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Chad Beebe, fresh off his NFL debut against the Lions, is now prepping for his first career regular-season road game. It just so happens it will take place at Soldier Field, which is only 50 miles from his hometown of Aurora. Beebe: “That’s where I’m from, so I went back home and saw some family and friends I hadn’t seen in a while. It’s home, and I’m excited go to play the Bears. It will be a lot of fun, I’ve got a bunch of people coming. Zimmer: “Remember how Diggs was when he was a rookie and he’d come out here and catch balls all over the place before we finally got him active? It’s kind of been that way with Beebe. I’m not saying they’re the same guy, but over the course of time he continued to show that. He comes out here and beats guys, he’s always caught the ball good and has always had confidence.” https://www.vikings.com/news/vikings-wr-chad-beebe-excited-for-chicago-homecoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
