If Addison can stay healthy...
If Addison can add some NFL muscle and not lose what precious little speed he has....
But I'd still rather have the elite press corner Deonte Banks... But my job isn't on the line....
Then maybe? This draft isn't as awful as it started. I'm still not thrilled with blackmon. The USC D was terrible. But, I only see what the tv shows. A small portion of the field. Perhaps? Blackmon was the only stud on a really bad D.
Ward fits the hybrid lber/ db role I think we'll see from Flores D. Roy is a good flyer on a possible run stuffing nt the Vikes desperately needed. I know they have Phillips & Tonga to fill the role. But the NFL has progressed to d-linemen rotation. Another fire hydrant in the middle was at the top of my needs list. At LSU, Roy at times, struggled in the role of immoveable object. He needs to add muscle to his nt frame(only 300lbs now).
Hall has some injury issues, McBride some fumble issues. But imperfect prospects are what late round flyers are all about. & There is next to nothing behind Cuz& Cook.
Speaking of imperfect flyers.... Rook free agent, Andre Carter, frankenlber from Army.
Hell yes! Ty for tossing me a bone kwesi.
Raw talent paired with freakish size & strength.
I hope Dr Frankenstein's lber becomes a Flores teaching clinic success. He could become the best defender the Vikes tabbed this draft season.
Or- more likely. He bounces around the league on the practice squad circuit.
But- Flores, as I've stated before. Is a former NCAA lber. You know BF will spend every extra moment he has coaching up the army star.
I always wanted to play lber in HS. My tall & skinny body didn't fit back then.
Maybe that's why I'm so in love with the "rangy" lber- lb/db hybrid evolution at the position?
Anyway.. there's much injury history to this draft class. It may be it's undoing? Or. It is hopefully just ancient history.
I've always believed- some guys are brittle boned, some never break. Maybe it's just a perception bias I have.
Jack Campbell, imo. Is the best d player in this draft. Time probably proves me wrong. But I felt same about Levonte David. I was so pissed we didn't grab him. I'm glad my new team took him. It'll make Lions games must see tv for this old cooter.
Skol Vikings.
Skol Lions.
Let the chips fall where they may & the cream rise to the top.✌️
