Eifert vs Austin

Recommended Posts

Assuming that you’re the GM and you don’t like the boom bust potential of DT’s and you’re not enthralled with anyone else you decide to take an offensive play maker.

Who would you take? Austin or Eifert (I'm ruling out Patterson) Both players have identical draft grades (all according to ESPN) and are rated one after the other in term of top players.

Case for Austin.

The most pro ready WR and arguably the biggest play maker in college this year, a potential clone of SS and we know what he can do. Can play both offensive and special teams.

Case for Eifert.

People have a lot of concern over Patterson. Austin is the top WR on most guys draft boards, but the knock against him is that he is small and more of a slot position. Eifert is the ‘safest’ pick in the first 2 rounds for the value (per ESPN guys). Teaming him up with Olsen provides a dual threat at that position but also that it allows an extra blocker. Look at how the Pats play both Gronk and Hernandez. Adding Eifert should also help with line protection which would help alleviate part of that problem.

Personally I would be very excited about both players. However I think that Eifert could provide the most immediate value as he can provide in both the passing and running game.

Quit it man. Do you read some of this thing you post up? It could easily me worst post/thread of all time

Show me a thread I've made that's dumber than wanting to draft a right end with our first pick.

If you think that's a good idea than I can't talk to you lol.

It's just not a need. We've got one tight end, a fullback, and two running backs that are all above average. Then we've got one good receiver, one decent receiver, and not much else. You're looking at serious diminishing returns at these positions in the offense. A receiver of lineman would be more valuable with this group of players.

    • 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
