I think it would've been OK if he was one-dimensional if A. Hunter would've made it back and B. The team had it's head above water and was in the mix for the playoffs. It's more the fact that the team is done this year and you get whatever you can for players that probably aren't going to be here next year.
Tough to have a cap hit of $22 M between your two safeties, and $28M between Barr and Kendricks next year.
Oh and, only $31M with Cousins.
Agree. Lance would be over-rated if in the top ten, but you would have to assume he'd be gone in the first round.
I'm going to begin watching what the talking heads say about Trask as a possible 2nd rounder.
If the Jets win the Trevor sweepstakes (likely) and then trade Darnold, should the Vikings have interest? He'd be expensive, just stick to the draft?
Why would he be expensive? The Jets would have no leverage as they have already shown everyone they were ready to move on from him.
That... may not be a terrible idea... but then again, there's no consistency in Minnesota as far as OC's go.

Not sure they will get much for those veterans, but they need to clear cap in a big way. They will still be in cap hell next year.Vikings Reportedly Open To Dealing S Harrison Smith, TE Kyle Rudolph, LT Riley Reiff

Keep Smith, and get rid of the other 2. It will be a while before we can find someone a good as he is. He's worth 8 million a year.Vikings Reportedly Open To Dealing S Harrison Smith, TE Kyle Rudolph, LT Riley Reiff

Since the Jets are likely to get the 1st pick.. I'm starting to think Zack Wilson over Justin Fields is the play. The kid has a cannon and doesn't get to benefit from Ohio States blue chip roster
Agree. Deal Harris, Rudy, and Reiff first. Throw in Elf and Kirk if they will take them. Too bad Barr is injured, they could deal him too. Keep Kendricks.
Kendricks, Smith, Cook, and Jefferson should be the only players who are safe. Everyone else can dealt. Even Thielen.
No one is going to take Kirk's contract off the Vikings hands.
Get rid of all the cheer squad chicks too. All fresh blood.
Dealing Theilen isn't a great idea. That will drag down Jefferson's stats by a large chunk since he commands so much attention. We'll go from having 2 awesome receivers to 1 okay receiver and whatever schmucks are behind him.
I would deal him in the off-season, then sign a solid boundary WR. Jefferson and Theilen both play mostly in the slot. That is why I wanted the Vikings to draft Claypool or Mimms.
