So now we're missing our 4 and 6 next year. Great.  I hope it works for us, but trading Watts and a 6 for a 2020 flop because he's cheaper doesn't make my day. 

I'm really confused by this too.

First, keep in mind Watts wasn't part of the trade. They simply released him. Then traded for Blacklock. Why? I get the interest in Blacklock. He was a borderline 1st, 2nd round draft pick who's still very very young. That could turn out great for the Vikings, but seems more a move for the future. 

But here's what I don't get: A player we planned on starting is now gone 10 days before our 1st game. Blacklock probably has a higher upside, but I doubt he gives us what Watts would have against Green Bay. This one's a head scratcher. 

I see our DL coach Rumph was w/ Houston when Blacklock was drafted, must have some insite on this fella…!

Agreed Happy. I’d rather roll with Lynch. RN i would assume he is the starter. 

I was thinking the same.  Lynch may have just simply played as well as Watts or better to earn his shot as the starter.  He made some plays last season, and could still be improving as well.

Could be a culture or race thing?
