11 of Seattle's 22 starters were selected in the first four rounds of the past four drafts. The Vikings first-teams on offense and defense combined for three players who were selected in the first four rounds of the past four drafts (this includes J.J. McCarthy, Jordan Addison and Jackson but not Dallas Turner).
---x---
Even the 4 players mentioned arent guys getting all-pro votes. Addison is probably the best of the bunch. But the dude cant stay off the police blotter via immaturity in decions made iff the field.
I will give props tho. Mensah did dragt the teams 1st all-pro selection since the hitman had a run of making the elite team. The "all-pros"
Best of the best. 2 per position. Voted on by the leagues players/ coaches. Not the other unreliable popularity contest squad- "pro-bowl" team. Pro bowl is almost meaningless...
Being a 1st team all-pro? Voted on by the people that know- players & coaches ONLY! 1 vote per person. Just getting a handful of votes in all-pro selection is more meaningful than being selected to 1st team pro-bowl by fans and media that produce the selections via coordinated lobbying. A process, in this era of automation and AI. A fan/ player/ agent can program a bot to stuff the ballott box.
Drafting to accumulate 3 or 4 starters from 4 years of drafting? Its not acceptable in the salary cap era. How is it? I keep reading viking fans thinking kwesi was a successful gm?
Remember the monkey that used to pick game winners? The Vikings likely would have been at least as successful using "Bonzo" to make the selections in the last 6 or 7 drafts.
I wish Kwesi all the luck in the world in his next endeavor. I doubt its going to be on any nfl staff!
That is the proof in the pudding!
Just like Spielman. If they have an actual quality to add to the draft process. Somebody will snap the guy up.
Lol! We can all hope the bears dump Ryan poles for kwesi. Ha!
Theres 1 chance in a billion!
If Kwesi brings $10b in funding to the job inorder to fund the bears stadium dream.
Keesi occupies the same spota as les steckle does in viking lore.
The cautionary tale that defines. When change/ replacement is needed- chose wisely bc theres always room to make things much worse in such an ultra competitive situation like pro sports.
