Damnnnnn good job Dan

Is the Ian Thomas saga finally over?

He’s 27

Love this move. He is guard depth as well not just a C

MAKE IT HAPPEN DAN

Bro what. DK is a legit #1 receiver. There’s prob 10-12 of those in the entire league.

Holy poo. These kind of guys in their prime just do not hit the market often. You HAVE to go get this done. I don’t want to hear anything about cap, you go figure that out and make it work. Go get him Dan. Metcalf makes our offense playoff caliber. Only thing we’d need in the draft is a late round RB to go with Chubba. Can focus everything else on defense.

i know he is "game fast" but no way I'm touching that dude running a 4.51 40 at 155 pounds

We are going to get Walker, Carter, Graham, Johnson, Warren, Williams, or TMac. I dont care any of those guys makes us much better.

Absolutely. In a heartbeat. Scrub QBs are pulling $40M now.

Guess I'm in the minority, love this mock. If you told me we somehow could get both TMac and Starks I would have thought that meant we traded future picks to move up.

I'm not sold on TE at 8 but I do agree with you. You really gotta think about him as a WR as well. He is a special type and would instantly give us the red zone threat we do not have

Disagree. He reminds me so much of Curtis Samuel with his drops. That dude worked his ass off in the off season and ended up one of our more reliable hands WR his contract year before he left.

Wonder if there’s any chance of us paying BC low end starter RT money and then keeping Moton this year and BC takes over next year and we structure it between those 2 where basically over the next 4 years it is about the same as 1 tackle (since we’d get rid of a ton of Motons hit in 2026)

I revisited this thread after a week and it seems it has taken a slight curve off topic lol so do we know if he had the surgery yet?

Thor Griffith. He and Brown coming back could take our run d from worst to very competitive

This guy could literally be the difference between 5 wins and 10 wins any given year. Glad to see we acknowledge something was wrong and made a change. Also to note, the Vikings play on artificial turf as well.

Here ya go https://www.profootballnetwork.com/travis-hunter-scouting-report-nfl-draft-2025/ basically verbatim my same take earlier in the thread

Think third after nabers and Harrison. Thomas Jr wasn’t that hyped but obviously with what we know now he would be up there too

His route running is fine for college and his insane explosiveness and body control makes him very special. But he doesn’t have the full NFL route tree currently. I think he is that much more athletic than other players in college. In the NFL we will see. Either way, a day 1 elite CB starter imo. Huge ceiling guy at WR with immediate impact

I don’t disagree with you. My pick was Ladd and I hated DM for passing on him but giving XL a fair chance. I used to get in arguments in the game threads because people would say I’m dumb for pointing out XL doesn’t even extend his arms on balls he can’t catch at least trying to draw PI or potentially break up an INT. There’s some basic basic stuff he does not do, and at his age it’s concerning. Let’s hope he gets it figured out

Not directly answering your question, but what I’ve enjoyed (and helps the offseason go by) is taking in the info from all of them then going and watch the film. Kinda fun if you come away with the same impressions. I also like to do it the other way, find a random guy with a round 4 grade or something, watch the tape, then go compare my feedback to the “pros”

I imagine there is a good reason for it but between Brooks waiting a long time for his ACL surgery and whatever is going on here, it does seem weird. XL needs the jugs more than anyone on the team, if this wrist thing holds him out until TC that’s pretty bad. XL could be a #1 if he learns to stop body cradling everything, but that takes a ton ton ton of reps

I agree with you he is clear cut #1 CB and it isn’t particularly close. And I really like Johnson as well. WR I don’t think he is the best right now but most likely has the highest ceiling. His body control and athleticism is generationally elite. He cannot run routes tho lol he’s out there playing backyard. That can be taught, but I think he ends up a full time CB in the NFL

Why are you so aggressive lol I never said that, you are going off on a completely new argument now. I said 2:1 isn’t realistic. Of course playing both ways takes more toll on the body. It also doesn’t count as 2 full years of football on a 19/20 year old, that’s just silly.
