Honest question, how many more years do you think Dalvin will be as good as he has been? 3-4?

Yeah, that's not a bad estimate. 4 years would put him at 29. He's under contract until the 2025 season, but he won't see that year. Mattison may or may not get signed to another deal. Abdullah is back on a one year deal, but he easily could be cut if they decide to spend a pick on a running back in the draft

Yeah, backs have a limited shelf life. I was surprised that the packers pushed the money to Jones, they don’t normally do that. When they have it is usually when they struggle a year or two after. They realize they have an expensive player so they gotta use them more and shut down the QBs some.

This sim had Mac Jones fall to 14 and all three top tackles were gone. I had 4 trade offers and took the Washington offer of 19/49 and next years round 2 for 14/78. So traded a third round pick in 2021 for hopefully a top 10 Day 2 pick in 2022.

Took AVT at 19. The best guard in the draft. BAP was Bateman which I KNOW Zim and Speilman won't take

At 49 I took the 2nd BAP who fills a BIG need also at the other end position. His draft analysis says he can go inside on 3rd and long which I LOVE.

Traded 90 to Baltimore for 104 and a 2022 3rd to take Walker Little. In 2019, before Little's injury. He was considered the top tackle in the country, former 5 star recruit. He hasn't played in 2 years since he sat out 2020 (COVID and to continue healing). If Little returns to form. You then get two bookends at tackle for the next 10 years.

This is probably more realistic as to what happens. BAP for 33. Best o-lineman at 35. Grab another Tackle to start Day 3 (Similar spots to Ezra and O'Neil). Then you make Zim happy with 78 and 90

Not a chance. Not with the first round pick. I could see them spending one of their 4th round picks though.


This is a make or break year for Zim and Spielman. They're not going to take a QB early when there are other needs. If they don't make the playoffs, they're both likely gone. They're not going to tie up an early pick on a player who won't play this year.

Not to mention, at 14 they wouldn't be getting a top tier QB anyway.

Unfortunately, I agree. Zim/Spielman have their butts in the fire. In addition to having now clue how to develop an OL, they've shown no ability/care re: growing a QB for the future. They'll go all in to make this mediocre squad the best kind of mediocre. No reason to start building a future champ now...

Deep down, I think Zim would love to trade Cousins to SF, get a bunch of picks, then turn around and sign Teddy.

You had me at "trade Cousins"... though, no chance with his contract.

Watch Zim/RS draft a CB in rd 1 again, with Gladney's issues. The foundation of any really good team is its lines. Maybe someday the Vikings will care about that.

Agree there's less than a 1% chance, but SF has already shown how goofy the NFL can be.
I'm hoping Trader Rick can get Slater, but he'd probably have to move up three slots to get him. More likely he'll trade down, and take the kid from USC.

I’m surprised we’re ahead of the bears honestly.

Are you talking weather wise? Cleveland and Buffalo are great football towns.
