5 things I will be looking for this week at minicamp

I'd like to see how Shaq looks coming into his second year. After what was basically a year of learning and limited play time, I would hope he takes on a much bigger role this year allowing TD to extend his career. All the hype has been around Funchess these last couple of weeks but Shaq was taken before him for a reason. Hopefully it pays off...

Good point. Shaq has been flying around like mad out there. Amazing how fast he is. I will mark him down as an interview this week. See what he has been up to.

Lots of good suggestions listed above:

For instance:

I'm definitely curious about how the DE rotation is shaping up beyond CJ & Ealy.  (Competition between Cox, Miley, Webster...)

I'm also curious about TE/FB:  Other than Sandland who would seem to have a pretty good likelihood of a roster spot, any of the others showing something that could win them a spot on the roster?  I'm still thinking we might just keep an extra TE/FB type around (Devon Johnson?) to learn behind Tolbert...

Also, the Oline.  Willliams vs. Remmers;  Who else is getting any time at Tackle beyond Foucault?  Do any of the guys like Yankey look any good?

Anything you can surmise re: ST?  Who is getting practice as PR / KR may give us an idea of which young guys might be favorites in the running for a roster spot....

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
