Its just a bad team in areas that can't be tweaked or short term corrected. I've never seen a Zimmer team look SO shitty in back to back games.
I can't emphasize this enough: Minnesota needs to get a top 5 NFL draft pick and use it on a QB.
You know you have me as a fan at hello with that sentiment. But the other side of the brain says they need a DT and OL (plural) as much or more.
But maybe its time to take the few good pieces left and start a new with a fresh, young QB?? Let em sit under KC for a year and curate.
I could live with that, especially if they get a #1 overall pick, then they wouldn't have a choice.
This guy is considered a generational LT and arguably the best player in the Draft:
OT Penei Sewell, OregonThis should come as a surprise to no one, as Sewell is not only the best offensive tackle in the class, but he has a very real argument as the best player in the class. Including Trevor Lawrence. Sewell is a dominant force on the line of scrimmage. His play strength is already elite by NFL standards, and his technique is nearly flawless. He may not be an elite athlete, but he possesses more then the requisite movement ability to make every block necessary. Sewell will likely be the only player to challenge Lawrence for the number one overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
I like Sewell and if we are keeping Zimmer, I would rather take him than a QB (who would not develop well here under current staff). But Spielman would HATE taking an OT high again.

And so would I...If they have a chance at an elite QB and take an OL?
I really would hang-up my fan card. After almost 60 frigging years with these guys.

1000% this. If the Vikings stink all year and then draft an OT over the top couple of QBs, it might actually break my brain.
