Some notes from my source

Even the best from this current age, Adrian Peterson, has had 2 knee injuries and has been unable to elevate his teams to anything other than mediocre.

Why?  BECAUSE THE NFL IS NO LONGER A RUSHING LEAGUE.

No, the Vikings were mediocre because they did a poor job of building a solid team around him.  It had nothing to do with being a passing league.  Heck, take Peterson off that team, and they're the Jags.

What fantastic work this organization has done building the offense, right?

With a couple of tweaks and reasonable health, they have.  Solid OL (when healthy), top end TE, solid #1/2 in Benjamin when not recovering from knee surgery, solid RB in Stew (who is at the downside of his career and in need of a successor to groom), elite QB.

Need an upgrade at WR #2 (Ginn was solid, so need to find a replacement) and slot, as well as general depth (which is true of every NFL team).  It's not the best in the league, but it is good enough to win the SB.

Jeremy said they don't like McCaffrey at 8 on twitter, only in a trade down but they don't really  want to do that either. Gotta get a potential. Star player in the top 10.

The problem will be if all the tier 1 guys are gone and we can't find a trade down partner.  Then he'll have to take a tier 2 guy he would prefer to get later on.  That's when we could see McCaffrey, Howard, or Conley (depending on how they have them rated) taken at #8.

Or maybe, and I love him, Jeremy is wrong. What happens then?

We'll know about 10:45 Thursday night. Unless we trade with SF to draft a kicker.

 

I mean, Jeremy and I have proven ourselves over the last four or so years, it's not like one draft would sink us lol

Nah, man. Sorry, but it kinda reads out pretty easily. Nobody called anything.

2011- Cam Newton- well, duh.

2012- "Why would we draft a LB??? We have Beast!!"

2013- Star fell into out lap. It was him or Richardson.

2014- KB.Everybody knew this one.

2015- "WHO??? Shaq who?"

2016- "WHO??? Vernon Butler?"

If you wanna call something, call it. But don't go all Nostradamus on anybody.

"The world will end....eventually."

    • Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......
    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
