It's good

I probably would have traded back



kgdabom -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 9:56:57 PM)

Damn it. I had Adison on the first draft of my Draft challenge and changed it to porter.



TJSweens -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 9:57:26 PM)

Prepare for the Dan melt down



Chris Olson -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 9:57:51 PM)

Addison will be great for us...we have some skills on offense!

Addison


I’m not thrilled, but they know more about what we need than I do.



fmaltes -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 9:59:13 PM)

Awesome!!! He will be a great complement to Jefferson. He was one of the guys I hoped would fall to us. Awesome!!! This guy is a playmaker.



Todd M -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 9:59:49 PM)

Way to take care of QB and Defense.

Idiots.


But but the guy really hoped to land with us



joejitsu -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 10:01:51 PM)

I hope we can score 50 a game, because we won’t stop anyone with all the holes we have on defense.



TJSweens -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 10:01:57 PM)

I'm underwhelmed by the pick.



Chris Olson -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 10:02:01 PM)

best wr in the draft

Well, he's quick, and Jefferson will guarantee Addison gets single coverage. So even though he's light, maybe he'll be able to exploit the coverage effectively? And he could handle punt returns.

Not a Red zone threat, I suspect, but they have Jefferson & Hockenson.



marty -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 10:03:13 PM)

I like the name Addison, and Jordan has a "J" in his name.

I don't think KJ can command enough attention away from JJ, hope Addison can do so.

I was hoping for a trade down, but this was all right.



Karl Juhnke -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 10:04:02 PM)

I bet they were trying to trade down and couldn’t get a suitable partner. So they ended up with a decent pick in area of need.



marty -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 10:04:29 PM)

Will the Vikings trade up for a CB or QB in the 2nd round ?

Good points. He does run every route on the tree. I was just hoping for some help on defense.



Tom Sykes -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 10:06:17 PM)

Oh well. Feels like they tried to move down taking every last second ...

and had pre-determined WR if they were going to stay, Addison being the fourth WR drafted in the last 4 spots (ie, like we scooped up whoever was left)

Chalk that up to an OC / former QB HC not liking Levis or Hooker at #23. Maybe they're not as high on Osborn as some in here as well.

Feel bad for Flores unless we get our hands on some CBs.

Addison will bring some juice across from JJ.



Bill Johanesen -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 10:08:27 PM)

Defense the rest of this draft and the next two years. Except the little loose end at QB.

Yeah. I'm surprised the Giants weren't willing to trade up to guarantee themselves Banks. But maybe they were fine with Porter.

Top end WR runs out with Addison and maybe Josh Downs. So I'm not that surprised they took him. They can get a decent CB prospect later in the draft.

That's a good point.



Bill Johanesen -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 10:12:21 PM)

Productive, I guess plays faster than his 4.49 speed. Offense should be fun.

Thinking Kwesi is still all in on Cine, Booth, Asamoah. All in all, the defense is a mystery.



Bill Johanesen -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 10:14:52 PM)

He looked like an attention wanting dork BTW [&:]

You aren't alone.

I expected Banks or Porter. Especially with that WR run. I'm not thrilled with taking the last guy in the tier, but he is comparable to Flowers and Johnston.



Tom Sykes -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 10:15:23 PM)

4 picks to go. Without something dramatic before half way through the third, we are working on competition for our backups.

The TCU WR has big problems with drops. Doubt there is a consensus on the order of the four of them.



marty -> RE: 2023 NFL Draft (4/27/2023 10:17:10 PM)

It will be nice when the Vikings trade up to #1 for Caleb Williams, he has experience working with Addison.

A USC trifecta is coming next year.
