Not sure why a trade down seems like a given. The Vikings could just as easily trade with the Commanders or Chargers. I think the whole trade down idea and taking a QB is FF infecting people’s brains. If you think there is a guy who will start during his cheap rookie deal annd earn a second...
If the deal is as initially reported, 1 year, 4M guaranteed and incentives could make it 6 then that is a good deal, drops and all. Unlike many wr’s on the roster, he is a legitimate NFL wr.
He had a horrible drop in the January 2023 playoff game against the giants and that seemed to dog him all this season. I do t remember as many drops before. Hopefully, he can let go of that and get back on track.
I have watched a lot KJ Osborn and I think he is younger, better Josh Reynolds. My son is a huge Vikings fan and I have probably seen 30 Vikings games on TV as well as the playoff loss to the GIants in person.
Pluses: He can get open a lot against a weaker/slot coverage. Through his footwork...
It is not nearly the same value as QB. Historically, very few top QB’s are traded while they are top QB’s. Stafford was traded, but the Lions lost a lot of games, and he had never led them to a playoff win.
You can trade for a top WR. Off the top of my head- Randy Moss (Vikings 1.0) was traded...
No. If the Chargers approached Chicago, the Commanders and the patriots about trading Herbert- the question would be - what else are you sending in addition to this years pick. The conversation would not be- Hebert and what else for the pick. Take off your Patriots goggles for 5 seconds.
Mike Williams and Calvin Ridley have pretty different skill sets. Calvin Ridley just sat out a significant amount of time and immediately put up a 1000 yard season. Mike Williams- much more of a boundary/contested catch guy- is coming a significant injury and two disappointing seasons; he has...
Not a fan of Reynolds at all. Here and there he looks like an all pro waiting to break out, but he will crush your soul with mixed effort, inconsistency and heart breaking drops. Year after year he has had a clear path ahead of him to really have a major role and he simply has never seized it.
There are other elements worth considering. What you don’t want is a young QB developing bad habits because the OLine is terrible, the wr’s can’t get open, etc. This allows you 4-6 weeks minimum of the offense figuring things out, the Oline gaining cohesion, the QB’s and Van Pelt figuring out...
Free agency is not open yet. All the big money contracts are resigning or smaller signings of guys who have been cut. Where would you have spent the money so far?
There are receipts. I was just talking about this thread though.

Like Joe Burrow who couldn’t get a sniff after a redshirt year and two years at OSU. His first year at LSU was meh. Then, as a senior, he tore it up with 2 top 5 NFL wr’s- Chase and Jefferson.
The fastest short shuttle times do offer a couple of NFL 1000 yard single season wr’s: however, both Cooks and OBJ had 40 times in the 4.3 range and college production. Cooks put up 1700+ and 16TDs his senior year at Oregon State and OBJ put up over 1100 on 19+ a catch. So, their Short shuttle...
