Dieter and Lindstrom look interesting. I doubt the others don't look athletic enough for our scheme, being able to get to second level and block in space is a big need for us. https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2018/12/20/18130517/2019-nfl-draft-5-sleeper-guard-prospects-detroit-lions

And he's made a handful of really good plays. Here are a handful of tweets mentioning him: Purple Post@Purple_Post Oct 28 Drew Brees threw for 120 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT tonight. An undrafted free agent rookie CB started for our Pro Bowl corner tonight. Holton Hill and Trae Waynes were EXCELLENT. So many factors play into wins & losses. I still feel good about where we're at as a team. ------------------ Adam Patrick@Str8_Cash_Homey Oct 29 Pretty good starting debut for #Vikings rookie CB Holton Hill last night (against the Saints) Allowed just 1 catch for 6 yards on 3 targets ------------------ Sean Borman@SeanBoarMan Nov 18 #Vikings cornerback Holton Hill has allowed an opposing QB rating of 31.9 when targeted this season, per Pro Football Focus. Through 7 games and 127 snaps he's earned a @PFF grade of 81.4.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001002257/article/top-10-nfl-defensive-player-of-the-year-candidates This guy is a clown. Hunter not in the top 10? 2nd in the league in sacks, more tackles for losses than anyone (if I remember right). 60 tackles. Last guy to have these numbers was JJ Watt and he won DPOY. I think Danold should get it and I'm ok with Mack being above Hunter. But Hunter not being in the top 5 shows this guy is a clown.

Ian Joseph -> RE: General Vikes Talk (12/21/2018 7:26:06 AM)
Barr doesn't have trade value. And to tag him means whatever the contractual price of the tag is immediately applied to your cap. That would limit the hell out of us. The only way he stays is on a team friendly deal, which in 2019, for a guy with so much potential and about to earn a second contract in an NFL salary cap world of almost 200 million, is out of reach. So, the absolute best case scenario for him (and us) is we win the super bowl, in part because of him on defense and his price tag skyrockets in free agency, as is the case with all super bowl winning free agents. That way, it helps us secure a great compensatory pick in 2020. YMMV.

ronhextall -> RE: General Vikes Talk (12/21/2018 8:57:33 AM)
The great Zimm needs to do more with less on defense if that is necessary to improve the OL. I am no draft / cap expert but in broad terms that is my feeling.

Transition Tag might not be a bad idea. It would probably make a team overpay(so we wouldn't match) and lead to a better compensatory pick. If contract is reasonable to Brez, you match.

Doesn't the transition tag immediately count against our cap, and only go away if he signs elsewhere? And I think Top 10 average for LBers is going to be close to 15M this year...

Slap a transition on Barr and the most likely scenario is that you wind up keeping in 2019 him for even more money than you planned to pay him. Not a good strategy.

Promoted VikingUpdate.com @VikingUpdate · 59m Eric Kendricks is out for the #Vikings on Sunday. That's it for the Vikings injuries. Linval Joseph will play - ouch (i wouldnt feel as bad if it was Barr)

Jeff Jesser -> RE: General Vikes Talk (12/21/2018 5:12:24 PM)
In all fairness, when used right (and seems to care) Barr has many more impact plays. Probably not as overall valuable as EK though.

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (12/21/2018 5:19:40 PM)
The thing about it is - Kendricks can disappear, not make any splash plays, get swept out by misdirection etc...and never draws any negativity from posters.

Jeff Jesser -> RE: General Vikes Talk (12/21/2018 5:49:48 PM)
Very true. I think he gets a pass because he's been "Johnny Hustle" even when not making plays. You can see Barr coast at times.

Man I wish there was a guy and we had the draft stock to move up in the draft and shake things up doing it for a premier LT. One really good guard in FA and we are a long way to being set for years.

He, Reiff, and Elflein should be the only returning starting lineman come next season Well hell, we’ll take whatever we can get when it comes to Offensive line victories. Make no mistake O’Neill thus far is a victory for us. There is a distinct difference between him and Hill, and even Remmers. Spiels gets kudos on this, however at least another FA guard would’ve certainly eased the rightful criticism he is getting for the rest of the OLine.

"Collins was the top performer at his position in the 2017 NFL Combine; his official 4.81-second 40-yard dash is the third-fastest time ever by an offensive lineman, trailing only Terron Armstead (4.71 seconds) and Lane Johnson (4.72 seconds) on the all-time list. He also bench pressed 225 pounds 34 times, which tied for the second-best mark among all participants at the Combine.[3]"
