IMO This draft is too stacked with RB to take one early, especially with our O-line.

 

I would draft Nick Chubb in the second 

Need to address OL in Free Agency. Go get Matt Kalil (for a discount because of injury and his bro,) Jordan Mills, and Chance Warmack. Put them with Turner and Ryan Kalil and we're good to go for 3-4 years easy.

Ideally I would trade down in the first and pick up an extra pick and draft him or Cook and an offensive tackle. Kind of like the Stewart/Otah draft. That would be the best case scenario for the first round for us but Gettlemen will take some defensive guy at a position we don't need that will sit on the bench

Don't get rid of Norwell 

He'll still be on the team, but he'll have to earn his PT.

Our line has been too bad this year not to make everyone compete next year.

Turner will be in a contract year, if we don't extend him. Let Norwell fight it out with Warmack (or even Jonathan Cooper if we want to spend a little more) for the other G spot. Whomever loses the battle with be a solid rotational guy should we need him like we did this year.

Why do people keep suggesting matt Kalil?? he is garbage. if the Vikings want think enough to resign him as bad as there line is why should we??

He's not garbage. He's just been banged up after a little bit of a slump. We have the space. Minnesota doesn't.

    • It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.
    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.
