Mailbag Questions
[edit]- Luke Braun - Would you rather spend little on a position group (conceding it entirely but saving resources) or spend a lot on a position group that always plateaus at average?
- Beff - How deep are the Vikings into analytics? Does drafting CB higher than D-line tell us anything apart from having a great D-line coach?
- Josh - Did we just draft a fullback in the 2nd round? (regarding Irv Smith's description as "short, husky, moderately fast, can't run routes")
- Andrew Sherman - When will we know if Kyle Rudolph won't be traded and we can settle in to see the Rudolph/Smith tight end duo?
- Josh Swedlund - If Kirk Cousins suffered a season-ending injury in training camp, how would the Vikings approach the QB situation?
- John Belk - Could defensive coaching ever move towards playing the pass as first priority, making "establishing the run to open up play action" actually effective?
- Hunter - What cap wizardry is likely outside of trading/cutting players with high salaries but low guarantees?
- Logan - Has Arif used data metrics to determine when he's most likely to get into Twitter feuds?
- Matthew Nelson - If the Wilfs hired someone who decided to rebuild the roster like Gruden in Tampa Bay, how long before the cap issues are resolved?
- Alex K - Is it worth dropping Rudolph and another player to sign Ndamukong Suh?
- Zencupid - At what point would cutting Treadwell be worth the dead cap hit?
- Corey Ruegg - Which NFL organization position would you want regardless of salary?
- Kyle Segall - Why are you and James salty about having bad MCU takes?
- Kenneth Allen - What disappointed you most about the Game of Thrones final season?
