Plus, let's see how we do this draft ... our scouting / personnel people are suspect until proven otherwise.

The most disturbing part of that is that they highlighted the scores (and I'm not sure how they came up with them) the Vikings were like a -68 and the next closest, the Jets, we like -35.

Ingram is what he was here. Good run blocker, wretched pass blocker. I agree on the draft. No excuses for the scouts this time around. They won't be ignored in favor of KAMs spreadsheets this time.

Well Kwesi’s gone and besides his awful drafts, at least we’re now trying to improve on his other major failing, injury prone value propositions in free agency. Wait … DOH! nevermind. Well at least we have flooded our qb room to ensure veteran coverage for at least 3 regular season games. I’m willing to bet that some player not currently in our qb cicada brood will end up starting more games in 2026 than our current three starters put together. (don’t bet me, just making a feeble point) So as far as projecting wins and losses in March … don’t even!!!

The bigggest key this offseason is to get some young guys so you don’t have to overpay. I still don’t understand why the Packers and Cincy signed Hargrove and Allen to multiple years to somewhat let us off the hook for those two overpays. Not sure Brez or FO thought it would happen but it was brilliant.

Phil Riewer -> RE: General Vikes Talkk (3/20/2026 4:06:38 PM)
Grenard trade talks have slowed down and apparently he hasn’t been so negative on IG. Maybe an extension and or raise?

According to a Twitter account: Athletes first also represents a few guys extended. Vikings goal was Kyler Use currency go get love Help Drew and bring back Jones’s Extend Oliver late last year (athletes first client (blocking te) Let Nailor get over paid Rip hocks deal to cover jones keep Drew happy Sign. Hill after jg extension Jjj moved move back knowing hill possibility if so Keep Addison in Minnesota to drive up value. Trade next offseason Sources

More from poster: He thinks T Hill will sign a 1/5 million deal. We will see if he has sources. Says Grenard restructure is done. Keep in mind his agent is Drew and he Represents many top Vikings. Flores and Drew connection. Wanted Kwesi gone. More coming We will see if his sources are correct.

Now that Queasy and his analytical charts are gone, we will find out what kind of scouts we have. I hope KOC and Flores are bunkered in with the scouts, going over too talent and scheme fits.

Which Drew are you talking about? Which multiple Jones (Joneses Jones’s) Sign Hill who? JG? JJJ?

Tom Sykes -> RE: General Vikes Talkk (3/21/2026 9:48:06 AM)
From your part 2 post, you seem to be talking about agent Drew Rosenhaus as if we are making personnel decisions based on coddling him … That move us from a floundering franchise taking on water to ‘lower than whale shit at the bottom of the ocean’ using all our draft resources on a rb would be so typical of us. Gawd help me.

Phil Riewer -> RE: General Vikes Talkk (3/21/2026 9:48:27 AM)
It is an exact post: Agent Drew Rosenhaus J Grenard They were going to cut Aaron Jones Tyreke Hill I don’t know which JJ. Guessing McCarthy.

Phil Riewer -> RE: General Vikes Talkk (3/21/2026 9:52:16 AM)
@bozevan Drew gets better deal and likes Kyler on prove it deal. New deal likely means more cap and hill comes to Vikings on a 1 year 5 million dollar prove it deal. Bet

Thanks for replying There’s always the ‘you never know, could be true’ response, or the, ‘completely and outrageously fake’ response. I’ll go with the, ‘I’m not the only one completely bored with our inactivity’.

Phil Riewer -> RE: General Vikes Talkk (3/21/2026 9:59:17 AM)
This poster @bozevan predicted Kwesi would be fired on 1/4/26. Also said one of the main reasons is Flores wasn’t coming back if Kwesi was GM.

marty -> RE: General Vikes Talkk (3/21/2026 10:31:38 AM)
Hill would be sweet, I doubt he would come that cheap, but coming off injury and getting up there in age, you never know.

Tom Sykes -> RE: General Vikes Talkk (3/21/2026 10:37:08 AM)
I dont know anything about Pierce or Demark but I applaud any effort to keep raising your floor when you’re on limited resources. Keep streamlining contracts / the cap to maintain your core of healthy young players, and draft deaft draft.

Did you not think Kwesi should have been fired? I think if you throw enough things out there, they won’t all be wrong. Except in my case.

I really didn’t see the Drew Rosenhaus influence at such heights until he stated it. So I don’t see it as throwing spaghetti at a wall.

Trade next offseason Sources As much as I like Love and I think he's the best player in this draft; it would be irresponsible for the team's future to give up that much capitol for a RB. Most mocks have him going 4-6 and would cost a small fortune to move up that far. We have so many needs and depth.

true or not it is fascinating to contemplate According to a Twitter account: Athletes first also represents a few guys extended. Vikings goal was Kyler Use currency go get love This is a waste imo...Emmett Johnson in the second would be legit with out wasted resources Help Drew and bring back Jones’s Extend Oliver late last year (athletes first client (blocking te) Let Nailor get over paid which he did, and though I liked him, Hill would be a nice replacement lol Rip hocks deal to cover jones keep Drew happy Sign. Hill after jg extension OK Jjj moved move back knowing hill possibility if so Keep Addison in Minnesota to drive up value. Trade next offseason This might be tough if he is both a FA and Hill takes his reps agree that coddling Drew Rosenhaus doesn't seem like a sound offseason plan here's hoping JG is coming back...I love that guy's consistent awesomeness Hill? Well, he is an impressive #3... Again, whether any of this stuff works, the season will be fascinating!
