I thought Waynes was doing a good job this year. Now the team will either be playing him as their third CB or they just used their first pick on a guy that will be their third CB.

Im glad the Vikes are looking at future needs on the defense rather than reaching for a need now (OL). So, when is Zimmer (the DB guru), going to start developing defensive backs that aren’t top 50 picks? When is this team going to actually starting putting a focus on improving the weak areas of the team, instead of bolstering the strong units?

vikesfan89 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I like the idea of getting a CB a year before he is needed. If we can get a starter on the line tomorrow it'll be all good imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 we have to look at how out whole draft shakes out, not just the first player taken. if we get quality OL too, then it's all a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nozizaki Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 For those of you not familiar with Hughes, one of my favorite youtubers actually mocked Hughes to us and broke him down (at around 59:40 if the link doesn't work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 As much as we need OL help....I LOVE defensive picks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like we're back at the BPA vs need argument when most argue to go BPA. I'm curious to see how the board looks but this might be a case of BPA over need. What OL is a clearly better pick? There was a run on interior OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, both Williams and Daniels would have also been instant starters, and they do fit into a zone blocking scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what has been said since I joined this site, that you can find late round OL. How has that worked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joru1000 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 For a supposed DB guru, Zimmer is really insecure in his DBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
