My expectations for this season went from being competitive and hosting an NFCCG, to one and done after getting blown out at home in wild card weekend by the #5 seed..

We will probably get the #4 seed as Division Champs, but if it an NFC East #5.. we are fn toast..

I agree. Yeah it's nice to make the playoffs in a year I didn't expect them to. Not so nice to be bounced out like an afterthought. On another note Kwesi draft looks like ass.

Roll the tape!

Round 1, Pick No. 32: Lewis Cine, S, Georgia
Round 2, Pick No. 42: Andrew Booth Jr., CB, Clemson
Round 2, Pick No. 59: Ed Ingram, G, LSU
Round 3, Pick No. 66: Brian Asamoah, LB, Oklahoma
Round 4, Pick No. 118: Akayleb Evans, CB, Missouri
Round 5, Pick No. 165: Esezi Otomewo, EDGE, Minnesota
Round 5, Pick No. 169: Ty Chandler, RB, North Carolina
Round 6, Pick No. 184: Vederian Lowe, OT, Illinois
Round 6, Pick No. 191: Jalen Nailor, WR, Michigan State
Round 7, Pick No. 250: Nick Muse, TE, South Carolina

Ty Chandler might turn out the best of the bunch!

Can't tell if that was sarcasm or not [:)]

In my best Kwesi voice... he's coming along fine on special teams!

Although actually he's not even doing that.

28 career ST snaps, all in weeks 4 & 5.
0 carries.
0 receptions.

Proving my point on how bad this draft is looking.

ty chandler has been on IR since a thumb injury week 5....


here's his preseason highlight reel....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqGdVkZnw94

Looked good in preseason.

Although any kind of 'game tape' that includes a copious amount of Sean Mannion ...

uhhh ... I just don't know.

Bottomline is preseason 'looks' was #2 in your TalkVikes Draft Variables list.

You have to be feeling pretty good right about now.

Bottom line is Ty Chandler looked good and if you can't see it then wait for the draft material to come out in 3 years to tell you what to think.

Amazing the team has gone this far with that kind of draft.

I'll give Cine a chance though I really disliked the pick, especially with Jordan Davis sitting there at #12.

Evans has been decent and I still hold out hope for Booth.

Don't care what anyone says, Hunter is not even close to the player he once was. Maybe it's part the scheme, but go back and look 4 years ago how dominant he was. He's still good, but not close to the dominant force he once was.

The draft has been very disappointing.
This was a team that needed some help on defense to make improvements.
Other than Smith, we really needed to add several quality players on this defense, and we didnt'

Smith has done what he can, but hard to do it by yourself.

Injury or not, I thought Cine was a terrible pick, most had him down the safety rankings. Hard to believe if they wanted a S they didn't just take Kyle Hamilton. But I believe football is won in the trenches, and Davis would have been a great pick.

Evans looks light years better than Booth.

Cine was pure "analytics" pick IMO. He clearly was taken due to his rare size/speed combo for a S, but his play was not all that at Georgia despite than, and playing on an elite defense with studs all around him.

I feel the same but wanted Jameson Williams.

I would have been happy with either Williams or Davis but to move back from 12 for next to nothing and draft Cine? A lot of good players passed over for Cine so he'd better pan out into something,

Draft grade right now is looking like a D- to F

I was thinking there was a website that tracked number of snaps taken by draft class.

The Vikings have to be one of the worst for the last couple years.

Prepare to be disappointed. Cine wasn't that good in college. Now he's injured. I wish him a speedy recovery. I have my doubts he'll be a good player after the injury. Being just an average starter would be pretty amazing at this point.

Phil the draft looks like a complete bust. Maybe we found a gem in Evans? I mean at least he's seen the field and hasn't been a dumpster fire.

Nothing that was an alternative has looked that much better; yet.

It's an opinion board. I didn't think he was good to begin with. Now he's had a pretty nasty injury. Prepare for disappointment if you're expecting greatness.
