And this is only his second year. Gotta think next year and the year after he’s gonna be making more jumps especially as those around him get better. I’ve said since his rookie year and watching his traits that he was a 15+ sack type of player. The things he can do at his size are extremely rare.

remember when Ron Rivera benched him because he punched the ground in frustration after just missing blocking a kick

couldn't have any emotion out there. that's not the Ron Rivera way.

I think he injured his hand / wrist because of it, that's why he didn't play (what's with the John Fox ? did Ron get golden calf of bristol'd ?)

yeah but he was healthy enough to play special teams after that, just not DE. 

And yeah Ron, not John. Distinction without a difference tbh tho

If a QB doesn’t drop to us that we like I’d keep drafting lineman on O and D in the first two rounds for the next several drafts. I’d follow the 9ers drafting model until we can secure a legit QB.

I am really like the LT from Notre Dame and I like Barron, the MLB from Ohio State in the second round.  In the third, there are some good center options that would be a probable upgrade.  If we could do that, I would sleep well after day 2. 

I know, some are saying, "What about S?  What about CB?  What about TE?

Free agency--maturation--healing.

While I should stop here, nay nay.  I sorta think our CB position will be fine.  Here is why--Douglas is serviceable if he is not on the #1. Jackson has been injured and is not as bad as we make him out to be.  Elder is having a better year than Munnerlyn did when the horns paid him big money.  Pride needs more experience, and there might be something in Stantley. whatever his hyphenated last name is.   Throw in a free agent, and get a stud S behind them, and we can start playing with less cushion and more aggression.  In other words, we need to heal and mature instead of an overhaul.  In a perfect world?  maybe overhaul, but if we address the OL, the DBs are not on the field as much--addition by subtraction.

I am spent.

This isn’t gonna be fixed in one draft/offseason but we need to get the ball rolling. I’d rather address corner linebacker safety and te with later round picks 3-7 and free agency. Build those lines up with top tier talent. QB is the wildcard tho, if the org thinks there is a franchise qb at our picks in the next three drafts do not hesitate to pick him round 1.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
