Vikings like where their roster is

[StickierBuns]

Zero doubt about it. Albert Breer said as much in his MMQB column yesterday and I agree and have said as much also. Making the trade for Thielen shows this to be true because of what they gave up and additionally their belief in McCarthy because its been 'win now' mode all offseason. Only 4 CBs? What, 6 UDFAs make the final roster? Everything screams that they love this roster and the makeup of the team. Actions have followed the words. No need to put this kind of urgency and resources behind this for any other reason....it reeks of confidence.

We'll see, of course. We've been let down before, that's not new territory. Time to strap it up and see what's what. I'm really looking forward to seeing what this team is like in late October/early November.

received from a source on the status of S Harrison Smith and whether or not he’ll be ready for Monday night’s game against the Bears:

“He's doing well, hopefully should be good.”

The Vikings first injury report comes out on Thursday.

Crazy to think that we may just have our QB that we have longed for in MN. I mean, that is crazy

There has to be something else done in the CB room. Murphy Jr. is the only decent established starter. You are betting on Jeff Okudah to 1 make it through the season, and 2 hold down the 3rd CB spot? I just don't see it. I thought initially the draft capital being added from the Harrison and Blackmon trades were for a receiver and a CB. Maybe they are waiting after week 1 to sign someone without a season guarantee?

I want to believe that, too. Seems like the beginning of a good match throughout.

Vikings S Harrison Smith, dealing with a personal health issue, participated in walk-thru but won't practice today, per Kevin O'Connell. Still, progress.
