Mailbag Questions

[edit]
  • Kyle Slay-bee - Kendricks extension: was it the right move when DE and WR values are skyrocketing? Also how many mugs did Arif break when he found out his least favorite Viking is signed through 2022?
  • Justin King - Thoughts on Lorenzo Carter and his fit with the Vikings assuming a trade down?
  • Ojibwe Pun - How deep is this draft at TE, DT, OG/OT? Any clear tiers for predicting Spielman priorities?
  • Adam West - What kind of season would Diggs need to drastically increase his extension price?
  • Kenneth Allen - Who else can we expect to see extended this offseason and for what price?
  • Connor - Barring a Hunter extension, do you think Spielman Diggs his way out of cap trouble? Fantasy football implications of Kirk Cousins?
  • Luke Braun - Are the Texans good for signing Joe Webb or bad for being owned by a racist individual? Middle linebacker green dot questions about Barr.
  • Anthony Crep - Which former QB (Bridgewater, Keenum, Bradford) is set up to be most successful on their new team?
  • John Belk - Big board analysis supporting exploiting difference between perceived value and actual value in draft trades
  • William Bottke - Do you think John DeFilippo accepted the Vikings job because of Kirk Cousins signing? Do coaches prefer nerdy QBs?
  • Don from Ohio - Is there any reason to watch live baseball in sub-40 degree weather? If Cap dies in Infinity War does Arif retire his Cap T-shirt?
  • Ted Glover - What will Arif's next contract with Zone Coverage look like?
  • Kyle Slaybee - Was Daryl Worley a criminal when traded or bad reaction to Philadelphia air? Can anyone have moral agency in Philly? Is Song of Ice and Fire set in future Earth with 2018 as first multi-year winter?
  • Hayden - Deactivate either @DonFromOhio or @TheBenNatan Twitter accounts - who do you pick?
