VikeManDan Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 2 minutes ago, vikingsrule said: I know we’ve got control over Darrisaw, I guess I’m more of the stance in taking care of your elite building block level players for two reasons: usually you get a better deal if you do it right away and why not make your best players feel appreciated and not draw out negotiations. If Jefferson and Darrisaw are elite, treat them as such. Dont leave them questioning your commitment. That is fair and I would think the Vikings will treat them as such. Perhaps I'm still taking a page out of the Spielman regime about not extending players with 2-years left on their current deals. It'll be interesting to see if KAM follows suit. At the end of the day Darrisaw needs to be locked up, thankfully he is a no-brainer extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcblack34 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Taking care of your elite performers as soon as you can sends everyone a message about your organization. I think it sends a very good message to prospective free agents and current players alike. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 Can’t say I’m thrilled about this move. Losing depth for only a 6th isn’t a move I would have made. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) For a 6th. That's actually what I expected. I thought it was fairly optimistic to expect a Day 2 pick for a guy who hasn't performed like an above-average guard. He's average at best. And average in an era where average isn't that good.

Agreed, unless they plan on being big spenders in the off-season, they could have likely gotten more for just letting him walk at the end of the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) wow! light return. maybe due to injury and uncertainty to resign? This also speaks to the confidence they must have in Brandel. Is Chris Reed coming back? Edited October 31, 2023 by JDBrocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 It's the Panther's 6th at least, so potentially the highest pick in the round. Still seems really light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 Unless Cleveland was having issues with losing his job to Risner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 He's a low level starting OG, or that's what he's developed into. I'm not too shocked with the value of the trade, plus he's a free agent after this year. So I doubt that the Jags will have an extension in place for him.

I likely don't do this, but then I don't value 6th round picks all that high.....even if it is the 1st or 2nd pick in that round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of October 10th, he was rated 11th best G by PFF. I don't think he was that good, but "low level" is not how I would describe him.
