Mailbag Questions
[edit]- Kenneth Allen - What's your take on the Griffen restructure? Is it preferable to just cutting him and using that money to sign e.g. oline and drafting a replacement?
- Rahul - I fear the Vikings will make a mistake by skipping offensive line in the first round. Which players are worth taking that risk? Ed Oliver? Christian Wilkins?
- Beef Brewsky - True or False: Vikings twitter doesn't appreciate how huge of a loss Sheldon Richardson will be. Drafting a 3-technique tackle is a higher priority than getting an offensive lineman.
- Anonymous - Jerrick McKinnon was asked whether he'd consider returning to the Vikings. His response was, "Fuck no." How does this make you feel? Be sure to focus on your feelings.
- The Thomas Family - The Star Tribune podcast said that the Vikes are actually pretty high on S Norton, A Collins and C Edison. Do they really mean this, or are they just blowing smoke to quell the O-line panic among Vikes fans?
- Phillip - With Waynes, Hughes, Alexander and Hill why would the Vikes not trade Rhodes for picks or OLine help?? Seems like an abundance at one position
- William Bottke - Can you compare the skill sets of Jerick McKinnon and Ameer Abdullah? Can the Vikings find similar production out of Abdullah next season that they got from McKinnon in 2017?
- Don From Ohio - Do you still think the Vikings will trade or cut a starter from last year?
- Anonymous - I'm sure Arif is very confident in his North Carolina Central Eagles to destroy NDSU(Who wouldn't be?). How does he like his team's chances vs Duke?
- J.O. - Backup QB predictions?
- Eddie - alternate question: with johnny manziel now a member of the aaf, this feels like an appropriate N if L scenario. what would the Vikings look like right now if they had successfully outbidded the Browns at 22 and drafted him in '14?
- Anonymous - Arif has successfully dismantled the myth that Rick doesn't spend enough capital on oline. But now that it's pretty clear they'll be drafting a couple lineman, what do you think of the claim he is a poor oline scouter? Should we be worried about his picks?
- Jakim Ortmann - Going to Minneapolis this summer for the first time, what should two danes see?
- SKOL LITE - Should we have 2 kickers on the practice squad??
- Kyle Slaybee - How much property damage did @bigmono cause during his recent trip to the cities?
- Anonymous - In the lawless land of Philadelphia, does Sendejo's aggressiveness increase to the point that he litterally explodes upon impact with a WR sometime next year?
- Anonymous - What record would the Vikings have this year if all NFL teams were transformed into the literal embodiment of their mascot?
