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.

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
