Ideally they can trade Burns and get back in the 1st for some badly needed starters. Obviously a WR, TE, O-line for offense. Also competition at QB. Young needs to earn the job.

On defense, need D-line and LB. Need to resign Luvu. Secondary is actually pretty good as is if they can resign at reasonable deals. Henderson has looked good this year….not sure what is going on with Chinn. 

LuVu is as good as gone, he’s been counting down his days. He’s been having conversations with opposing coaches after games and everyone around the league loves him and will pay. 
 

There’s no path to address even half our needs. We have $35 million in effective cap space, 1 year of Tee Higgins for example, and no 1st round pick. We’re screwed. We’re probably entering Cardinals territory where we just tear it all down with visions of being competitive 4+ years down the line.

Mike Kaye, who championed all of Tepper’s horrible moves btw, wrote an article today about how we need to trade defensive assets to help Bryce on offense. So maybe we’ll need DL, Edge, CB, etc too. Who knows how Tepper will go about destroying the team next.

we have like 2 tradable defensive assets at this point

I count 6 defensive assets with some trade value; Woods, Brown, Burns, Horn, Chinn, Bell. 

not sure what you can get for woods or bell.  Horn would be trading pennies on the dollar.  Chinn is a FA.  Burns would be a tag and trade.

 

So the only valuable player would be brown.  Might could get a first for him.   Maybe Jackson as well.  4rth rounder maybe

Draft a true LT and move Ickey to LG .  Draft the kid from NCSU at LB . Trade Burns for a 1st rnd pick and a player or another pick  .  Use the 1st round pick for BPA TE or WR  .  Fire our GM and scouts .  Tell Tepper to shut up and let our new GM and coach do their job .

Let's tear apart the things that are good on the roster to double down on a tragic mistake. Brilliant. But it wouldn't be at all surprising if that's Tepper's mindset right now.

I mean, Dave... would you sell your good performing stocks to buy more of a stock that's cratering and not just cratering but cratering because the basic fundamentals behind the stock are disastrous? Well, this would be the football equivalent of that.

I think he is going to hear some tough love about his process, this roster, the capital needed to field a good team etc during the GM search (assuming there is one).  No gm candidate in their right mind is going to sugarcoat our situation.  They should be down selling it to buy time.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
