I wonder if teams just forgot about IPJ. I know that sounds ridiculous, because it is. But teams have certain size benchmarks players must meet in order to even be listed on their draft boards. 

Why else do you not take a flyer in the 6th or 7th round on one of the best LBs in the country? Once again, kudos to the Wilfs for opening up the purse strings on two of the best UDFAs in the country. Andre Carter being the other. 

Yea our owners really want to win and are not shy about shelling out the bucks.

It's stupid not to IMO. When your payroll is over $200M and the lowest paid player on your roster clears $800K, it's insane to me that more owners don't risk $300K on a couple of UDFA signing bonuses. Austin Ekeler was a UDFA. Shaq Barrett. Adam Thielen. In the past, Warren Moon, Kurt Warner. 

Agree, don't forget one of the true Vikings greats was an UDFA too...John Randle.

That was my thought as well.  It is like spending 30k a year for your kids college and not wanting to spend a $2 on parking when you visit them.

Agree it is smart but we seem to outspend on our UDFA's vs every other team so every other team is not as willing.  We have a couple of posters who think the Wilf's are just happy with a decent team to draw audience and revenue but I really think they spend up to the max on salary CAP every year and we have top rated facilities.  I don't know what the Wilf's can do to convince others that they are in this to win a SB.

That wasn't just a fit, that was a fill.

Kinda strange that after Addison, this is the kid everyone is watching from our draft.  Maybe it'll make Cine and Booth sucking feel better.

Either he needs the nickname of scarface or everyone else on D needs this on a t-shirt.
