Athlon had Brandel as the 31st rated OT. Draft Countdown 26th. ProFootballNetwork 18th. They are not the end-all, but don't think we somehow stole Brandel (who also has T-Rex arms even at 6' 7").

#Vikings new safety Xavier Woods: "These guys wanted me. The Vikings wanted me.'' He said he talked to Mike Zimmer. Said he wanted the chance to play alongside Harrison Smith and Patrick Peterson and learn from them. Chris Tomasson on Twitter

Blythe to the Chiefs. Probably explains the Dozier signing. Not that it makes the Dozier signing smart - I'm guessing they thought they'd better at least get SOMEBODY. As in some body.

David F. -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/30/2021 3:59:42 PM)
Vikings re-signed LG Dakota Dozier to a one-year contract. Dozier played essentially every snap last season, though he was one of the league's very worst guards. The Vikings haven't really made many additions to their line yet, only acquiring G/C Mason Cole, but Dozier should be returning as a depth option instead of starter.

David F. -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/30/2021 4:00:08 PM)
Chiefs signed C Austin Blythe, formerly of the Rams, to a one-year contract. Blythe gives the Chiefs a solid option at the pivot after Daniel Kilgore and Austin Reiter split time there in 2020. Blythe is also capable of playing guard as the Chiefs reshuffle essentially their entire offensive line. The soon-to-be 29-year-old had a strong season for the Rams last year.

When a three step drop back becomes a full reverse run for your life because of our ‘ole guards... Can never see enough of that... Why tonka toy calf dozier?

Can't wait until Spielman drafts a guard in the 3rd round, way above projections, struts to the podium proud as peacock and announces how great a pick it was, how there will be competition in training camp all the while the lineup is written in permanent maker: Hill, Dozier, Bradbury, Cole, ONeil.

Bruce Johnson -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/30/2021 7:25:34 PM)
Dakota Dozer was the worst starting guard in NFL history last season and it wasn't even close. But it's true that Samia was even worse. Don't ask me how that's possible.

Bruce Johnson -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/30/2021 8:08:08 PM)
If you are upset with the signing of Dozier, you will appreciate this. He doesn't mince words even suggesting that Spielman should be fired if this is the plan. By the way, Rick Dennison is the worst offensive line coach in NFL history. I'm pissed. https://youtu.be/_Jvp4cSp3t4

Bill Johanesen -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/31/2021 6:53:47 AM)
Spielman is just being true to form. Why would anyone have expected something different? Introducing Slater and Cole, your new starting guards. Nevermind Bradbury is a waste of a pick, Cole can pull double duty. If anyone questions whether Cole will start, know that they don't pay an OL player $2+ million to sit on the bench. Hell, in many cases that is big time starting OL money.

Assuming it will be an inexperienced player taking Reiff's spot, with that player occasionally making mistakes, it should just look like a sieve on the left side, so it might be harder to detect the weakness that is Dozier.

Phil Riewer -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/31/2021 10:35:47 AM)
Relax...they have 90 signed players by TC. Signing Dozier now doesn't mean we won't cut him later.
