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.

    • Doubling tripling and quadrupling down on this subject in defense of the pick is reminiscent of a certain mindset that has overtaken the political world. This conversation will become less contentious and dragged out to the point of becoming a dead beaten horse if rational minds can simply agree that we made a mistake missed on a potential franchise center and we will learn from it. All this coping is unnecessary.
    • Here in lies the rub that the supporting posters continue to ignore. He wasn’t a 2nd round pick in the 2025 class, especially with an ACL tear. It was a dumb pick for any GM who looks ahead to determine values. C and CB were much better values than an injured RB in 2024. If a RB isn’t even playing much in 2024, you have to compare him to 2025. We’re beating a dead horse but only because the defense of the pick is almost comical at this point. We’ve made a ton of poo picks and moves/non trades while Morgan was GM and the assistant GM. It happens, we don’t have to jump through hoops to act like we just had some really bad luck. The 2025 draft class is unknown so far but damn it felt way better afterwards for the first time in a long time. Embrace the potential and stop stamping guaranteed on the box of poo of the 2018-2024 drafts. We are were we aware because of them and 2025 has to hit so we can get past the 7 win max in 7 year hurdle. Also, “flashed his talent” isn’t 9 carries for 22 yards. His one reception for 18 yards isn’t a flash with 11 other touches for 27 yards. He hasn’t proven anything. We have no idea if he’ll contribute in 2026.
    • Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030
