It would be a classic Zimmer move to further neuter the offense for the sake of his defense.

Love will go mid-2nd round at the latest. I have the Vikings taking him in the 1st round. I know his states weren't great this year, but scouts love him. The Vikes have needs ahead of QB, but I think they will take Love is still available late 1st round. I originally had them taking Gordon in rd 4, which would be a great pick as well. Brady White from Memphis is not in this upcoming draft. If the Vikings don't draft a QB this year, I hope they get White in round 2 or 3 next year.I know he keeps rising, but I see him as a guy who could slide in the draft. I'd love if the vikes could take a flyer on Jordan Love if he is there in the 3rd or 4th.
I love Diggs but you could tell he was unhappy last year. I wouldn't be surprised if he demanded a trade. The good thing is that Minnesota would probably get a 1st rounder for him. The bad news is that Spielman strikes out half of the time with his 1st round picks.It would be a classic Zimmer move to further neuter the offense for the sake of his defense.

I could see the Raiders trading pick #19 for Diggs. They would be a really fun team to watch if they had Diggs as their #1 WR.
I don't know if they'd get a first rounder for him.....
I guess it just depends on how desperate a team is to land a #1 receiver.
I would be very surprised if they don't get a 1st round pick for him. Oakland has two first rounders so I think they will give up the #19 overall pick for a #1 WR. With Diggs, Williams, Renfro, Jacobs and Waller, they would have a pretty solid offense.
And with an extra 1st round pick I could see Minnesota drafting a QB to sit behind Cousins for a year. I'm really hoping they can get that offensive tackle from Louisville (Becton) in the 1st round as well. He reminds me of Phil Loadholt. Put him at RT and move O'Neill over to LT and that would make the o-line a whole lot better.
I don't think they're going to trade him. He would represent $9 million in dead money if they got rid of him and only free up $5 million in cap space. That wouldn't make a lot of sense.Antonio Brown was traded for a 3rd and 5th rounder - Spielman will get laughed at if he asks for a 1st or even a 2nd round pick. I think a 3rd round pick is the best they can hope for and maybe squeeze a 6th/7th out of the team they are trading with.
Griffen voids his contract. Glad this happened. Immediately gets Minnesota under the cap. Hopefully he'll re-sign, but if he doesn't it's been a great run with him.

If he is unhappy, trade Diggs, and sign Dez Bryant for cheap.
Not a good idea for any number of reasons. I'll agree that Diggs is a diva. But you'd be replacing one diva with an older, slower one, who might even be more of a diva.If he is unhappy, trade Diggs, and sign Dez Bryant for cheap.
Didn't he restructure his contract last year?Agree. Griffen's past comments about how he appreciated the Vikings help with his struggles two years ago gives me hope that he will give the Vikes the 'hometown discount' and return.
Great point. For a 5th round pick he has really been a home run other than the crybaby crap last year. I couldn't believe they locked him into a long term deal for cheap.I don't think they're going to trade him. He would represent $9 million in dead money if they got rid of him and only free up $5 million in cap space. That wouldn't make a lot of sense.

Zimmer doesn't sound too optimistic about bringing Anthony Harris back. What do you guys think? Harris led the league in INTs, but I don't think that's necessarily always the best way to evaluate a safety since a lot of that is just a matter of right place/right time. Big loss, or are you good with another team overpaying for him in FA?
