How do fill hole in our roster or do we?

I see 3 areas we need to address.

CB- we need another starting cb but whos out there we can afford and are they better than the ones we have now?

DT- We signed a stop gap DT and he was injured.We drafted some young guys and given C Irvin a chance.Again I see no one out there that is much better than what we have.I dont think the likes of Tank Johnson is worth a roster spot

OT-Otah is really scaring me with his injuries.His recent knee swelling was totaly unexpected.His season ending injury was a shoulder.His presence or lack of will dictate how well we will run the ball.I have not seen who can replace his run blocking so we may need pick up someone as a stop gap if we can find one.This is a postion we need to fill given Otahs injury.

I guess it all depends on who becomes availible when the roster cuts begin but why bring in someone who is marginal at the risk of cutting a develomental player? We clearly do not have all the pieces to be conpetetive this year.

NT- Pat williams

Don't think we need a 3 Tech DT ,Irvin ,McClain are good enough

#2CB Hayden- Good zone coverage guy , decent against Man to Man( might not be Healthy)

OT L.Davis can play G too

2# WR Any big name that gets cut

RT and CB are our biggest concerns. DT is not far behind though and if we dont sure up RT we are in trouble.

On that note it would be just best to cut Otah and deal with that. He is not going to ever be healthy again if he cant get back at it with a year off.

We may have to live with our cb and dt but RT is something we need to address if we are to run the ball.Even if Otah were cleared to play this guy has 2 years of rust to dust off. If we do not establish a run it will be another long year for our 2 qbs.

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
