I hope the Vikings give Sloter another chance, and believe with the current Vikings' team, Sloter could play a Nick Fole's role, and lead the team to a Super Bowl victory.

Put the pipe down Marty.

No. The whole league is “dumbed down”.

This is a good point. Based on what I've seen not to many will be going NFL.



Daniel Lee Young -> RE: General Vikes Talk (6/7/2022 9:14:51 AM)

Somewhere, David Boston is drooling over Marty getting a head coaching/ NFL GM gig…

Lol 😅

That could be a Spielman home run pick: great player, premium position, and a trade down as well.

Spielman took a lot of swings and misses on olineman over his tenure.

Pretty sure he owed us a good one.

"I think they're about ready to have one of the best OL in the league."

Whoa! Something we're not used to hearing!

that's a very good video - easy to visually understand what the guy is describing...also, he likes ingram a lot - thinks that he was a steal where we chose him....

And only two picks higher than the 4th round in all those years (and only two in the 4th).



marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (6/8/2022 4:12:56 PM)

I think Ingram will also be really good, just a matter of time.

Ingram at RG, then maybe Reed at Center ?

I wasted so much hope on this list over the years, frequently for picks that yielded absolutely nothing. That reads like a photo gallery entitled, "Turds I've Dropped."



David Levine -> RE: General Vikes Talk (6/8/2022 4:41:53 PM)

It shows just how little Spielman valued the O-Line. From 2010-2017 he spent these picks on O-Line:

1st: 1
3rd: 1
4th: 2
5th: 3
6th: 5
7th: 2

I wonder if after getting Sullivan and to a lesser extent Fusco in the 6th early in his reign he thought he could keep going to that 6th round well. Or was it his blueprint from the get-go.

I think it was a pet "MoneyBall" move for him.

Bill Jandro -> RE: General Vikes Talk (6/9/2022 6:43:28 AM)

Forget what year (probably prior to the 2018 draft) Spielman did a study and told the media that his findings were that you can get better quality olineman in rds 1 & 2. Der...



ratoppenheimer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (6/9/2022 10:43:42 AM)

In a story from Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, we learn that Bradbury is “back above 300 pounds” as he prepares for his fourth season as the Vikings’ starting center. Bradbury says that it’s been a full-time job to put the pounds on in the proper manner.

“Adding it the right way,” Bradbury said. “Anyone can eat a bunch of pizza and put on some pounds, but trying to add it the right way, working with the right people. I’m naturally not a 350-pound guy, but that’s part of the job requirement, so that’s something I’ve tried to hone in on this offseason and will reap the benefits from it this season.”

It will be interesting to see if Bradbury’s extra weight will help him out when the (figurative) bullets start to fly in Training Camp and the pre-season. Along with the weight issue, some of Bradbury’s struggles have been attributed to the Vikings’ guard play, but the Vikings appear to be taking that excuse off the table with the drafting of Ed Ingram and the addition of Jessie Davis and Chris Reed in free agency this offseason....dailynorsman

I guess after 3 years of getting thrown around like a ragg doll and not having his option picked up, a light went off.
