Outside of yesterday, Dart hasn't been that bad in his first 10 career games. 13 TD, 5 Int, 1835 yards.

If Manning was in the draft you definitely take him. But I'm not so sure the top QBs in this draft are potentially that much better than Dart. Just saying they could go with Dart, trade down, and get some additional high picks.

Then again, they are 2-13.

Well I wanted the vikes to lose to Detroit so we could get the 4th place schedule next year and a higher draft pick next year. So right now we will pick 17th I believe.. take best cornerback or safety with our first pick

Guess the good news on schedules is Det played a 1st place schedule and we played a 2nd place schedule, but their opponents currently sit at .491 and we are at .517. A delta good enough for two draft positions (15 vs 17). So there is fluctuation, although sure not likely as much as in 1st vs 4th place schedules.

As an aside, sometimes a team needs to play a tough schedule to get over a psychological hump or gain confidence. A forged in fire kind of thing. If Minny was truly in the running for the SB, I'd want to see them play a tough schedule.

Record wise, if we were 7-9 we'd be #13. At 6-10, we'd be tied with Cincy for #10. Although the Kwesi factor makes all that meaningless.

Have to build up the offensive line. Period.

Vega Ione, Penn State.
Immanuel Pregnon, Oregon

Either of those two would improve our o-line right away.

Second Round, go out and get yourself a good running back or another o-lineman. The second round will be o-line heavy. Our running back stable is starting to look pretty weak and tired. That, or get one in free agency. It's time. I don't ordinarily promote drafting a running back because they are a dime a dozen, but the game is getting back to running the ball in recent years.

Kansas City fell apart because they lost their running game and the o-line has been consistently bad the past two seasons. Philadelphia took a big step backwards because they lost their running game. Detroit found out what life was life with a banged up offensive line.

Seattle, conversely, has one of the best o-lines in the game.

Do the math!

I've been saying it all year long. I give them a little credit for trying but the OLine was still a disaster. No matter what your take on our QB situation is, neither JJM/Darnold/Wentz/Brosmer-whomever, stood a chance out there.
