Time Travel Question

Recommended Posts

If I was to travel back in time to just before the draft in 2008 and post on the Huddle that in the next two years we'd be able to draft Jon Stewart, Jeff Otah, Dan Conner, Everette Brown and Duke Robinson while also getting a starting FS, a nickle corner, a replacement for Hoover and depth on both lines, all the while keeping Gross, Gamble and Peppers...

...would you accuse me of smoking crack or PCP?

Are you using wormholes to go back in time or a Flux Capacitor?

Either way I think our draft was solid....a lot of heartbreak when you see what I think is a few Best Player Availables and they go a different route. After some reflection I think the weakest pick was Irvin...but then again...I am typing on a message board and not actually scouting.

I don't worry about Brown as a pass rusher. He's prob. the most advanced pass rusher coming out of college we've ever drafted.

I worry about Brown as a everydown DE in the 4-3. If we didn't have Meeks, I'd be petrified.

McClover didn't have .00001 % of the pass rush talent Brown does.

    • 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
