Honestly hope we don't sign a RB. I get you want to plug holes and/or allow yourself to go BPA in draft, but i would rather address in draft 1x late round, 1x UDFA

Yeah, it's a deep RB class. Take advantage of it. There will be a number of day three RBs out of this draft class who will be solid NFL contributors.

They need a kick returner to replace Blackshear. Now that guy doesn't have to be a RB of course but they need to figure out who that is. I'm against signing a RB as well but they need some sort of rotation at the position.

Vikings closing in on deal with two-time Pro Bowler

We might need to start a separate live blog where we only break down Vikings' free agency moves, because they are busy this morning. On top of adding Jonathan Allen and Will Fries, the team is also closing in on a deal with Javon Hargarve, NFL Media reports

Hargrave is expected to be released by the 49ers on Wednesday and when that happens, he'll likely be signing with the Vikings. He'll be joining Jonathan Allen on a suddenly loaded defensive line. 

The only knock on Hargraves is that he's 32 and coming off a season where he missed 14 games due to a partially torn right triceps.

I don't get why Greenlaw went for that cheap. I would much rather have Greenlaw than Wharton who we paid more for. We still need competent linebackers.

35 million for a guy coming off a horrible injury isn't cheap.

aside from the fact he probably had no interest in playing with a bottom dweller at this point in his career.

He's young and suffered the injury in the superbowl. He's still very much a pro bowl linebacker. Terrell Suggs suffered the same injury and went on to play at an elite level for 5 more years

ok now do the part where he wants to play on the worst defense in nfl history at the backend of his career

Which QB will have the better 2025 season?

Sam Darnold in Seattle

Geno Smith in Las Vegas

Justin Fields in New York

Geno.   The Raider OL is pretty good and they have a pretty good TE and pretty good (underrated) WRs.   But I would not rule out Fields--Id run a lot of pistol, R/P option, and build the OL.  He will need weapons.

We definitely need LBs! I do not think we’re done at all. Looks like we’re going edge rushers/linebackers/FS/slot cb in the draft. We’ll see if they make a substantial move at any of those soon. It wouldn’t make a lot of since to go high picks and big money at the exact same positions/slots imo..kinda like the idea of that jack sawyer guy(just from descriptions on here) running around , behind this Dline

    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel. 
    • Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
