Do all this and keep Spielman around? What do you gain?
I am only glad about this because I have him on my fantasy team. Even if we had Diggs, our offense wouldn't be much better.
I saw some Viking blogger point out this is the 11th season in a row with a below average to well below average O line. As he said, how many GMs could get away with that?Spielman needs to go. He has made a lot of bad moves over the years. A lot of 1st round misses. Overpaying an average QB, not addressing the o-line etc. Gladney was not a good 1st round pick. There were 7 or 8 better corners. He has been pretty good at getting talent in the mid rounds of drafts, but still.
If the Vikes end up being THAT bad and have the #1 pick, they have to take Trevor Lawrence. He is the best college QB I have ever seen. The Vikings have not had a franchise QB in a very long time. I can't even remember the last one. The Fudge Packers have had two starting QBs in the last 30 years. TWO! While the Vikings just keep bringing in veterans for 2-3 years. It's time to draft a QB. The problem though is that Cousins would then have to be traded and I just don't see anyone wanting to take over a high contract for an average QB. There aren't that many teams needing a QB right now anyways. You can't cut the guy because of the cap hit. Maybe offer him to a team for a 5th round pick and throw in someone like Jeff Gladney just to free up a little more cap space. Hell, trade anyone besides Hunter, Kendricks, Harrison Smith, Brian O'Neill, Cook or Theilan.If you are going to suck, go all the way a couple of very good QB's in the upcoming draft
War' Nate Stanley?If you are going to suck, go all the way a couple of very good QB's in the upcoming draft

Stop it.War' Nate Stanley?
By that logic, we’ve been waiting 5+ years for them to react and address the horrendous OL play. They must think it needs to get worse to get their attention.Seriously though the Vikings GM/coaching seems to be so reactive vs. proactive. They make adjustments well after things are far too out of hand.
