Mailbag Questions

[edit]
  • iStone_6 on Twitter: Why did you choose to talk about qb mechanics while you were at a women's clinic?
  • Luke Braun: Which top 20 prospects do you foresee falling to 30, and would the Vikings take them? What about top 40 prospects falling to 62?
  • Kyle Slaybee: After the flop of Rodney Adams, do you think Vikings pick up a day 3 player with return potential (maybe Pringle/R.James/Coutee). If drafted day 2: would Nyheim Hines fill that role too?
  • Alec Depp-Crin-ski: Giants call and offer you their 2nd (34) and 4th (108) to move up to 30. Which realistic (not Nelson or Wynn) prospect makes you turn down the deal because you're not risking passing on them.
  • Bill Bottke: Using Arif's Consensus Big Board and the FanSpeak draft simulator, it is difficult to get a top tier offensive linemen at pick 62 for the Vikings. If we miss out, are there any late round sleepers that could help us this year?
  • Kenneth Allen: Assuming we don't draft OL, what could you see them doing? Could they seek to find a cheaper replacement for one of the expiring rookies (Hunter, Barr, Waynes, Diggs)? If so, which is most likely to be selected to be replaced?
  • Nick Olson: Rank your favorite and least favorite cuisines by their ceilings and floors. E.g. IMO pizza is high floor, because even when it's bad it's good. But it's also low ceiling, because really good pizza isn't nearly as good as really good sushi.
