Gettleman has done great and has done a great job finding these secondary gems, but the pillars of this team (except Star) were all drafted by Marty Hurney.

 

MH is the person most responsible for this teams lack of depth, cap issues, and absurd losing seasons.

Hurney gets credit but our success is as much about what Gettleman did in the offseason.  Getting Dwan back and playing hardball, signing Mitchell and Mikell, Florence, Blackburn.  Drafting Star/Short/Klein who are looking good.   Robert Lester looking good, etc.  Keeping Captain here and signing Ginn too.

As with a lot of things, there was both good and bad with Hurney... he absolutely NAILED quite a few picks (see OP for several examples) but completely whiffed on many, many more. 

 

So, if you're going to praise him for the good picks he also deserves a big WTF for the rest of them.

it seems that gettleman is much better at finding bargain bin talent than hurney ever was. I know it's a small sample size and only his first year, but gettleman has provided us with a TON of contributors this year, enough to make me believe we are where we are because of him.

    • 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
