To much at stake draft wise.
Only a Viking fan could say something like this.
No "fan" ever wants picks over wins.

This year I do...ready to move on from Zimmer.

The Viking's defense is not playoff caliber unfortunately. 29-0 and you almost lose that lead? Ridiculous. This might be Zimmer's dumbest group of DBs since he's been HC along with periods of zero pass rush by the D-line. Recipe for disaster.

Prediction: win enough games to pick in the early 20s in the NFL draft but no playoffs. Great combo (eye roll).

Move on from Zimmer and get a good pick, so we can....um...make the playoffs, right?

Playoffs are a new season. Team who wins the Super Bowl is seldom the NFL's best team, but it's always a team who gets hot and healthy at playoff time. That can be any team.

If this were a 1 or 2 win team I'd be right there with you, hoping to improve our top 3-5 pick. But a team on the edge of the playoffs to upgrade a middle 1st? Hell no. It's just not worth it. Trae Waynes was picked 9th. Justin Jefferson was picked 22nd.

Weasel into the playoffs @ 9-8 and wreck Dallas or Green Bay.

... and Zimmer still gets 86'd.

I am so down on this team I couldn't even muster up any mojo to think playoffs but your scenario above would be awesome especially if Packers.

I have never been for losing or tanking just for draft position. I think that is silly and very detrimental to the players/team mentality. We all know the draft is a complete crap shoot even in the first round never mind later rounds. If you fall in love with a certain player and you are picking 25 and you have to move up to 10 to get them then I support those type of gambles much more then tanking with your current team.

Not sure what ends up happening but I hope no team with a losing record secures the last playoff spot. No team, in any sport, should be allowed into the playoffs with a losing record. Cant reward bad teams

I was thinking more of a Nathan Poole moment, leaving the heartbreak on the doorstep of the playoffs.

I will say, the last one I remember was Seattle winning their division at 7-9. They hosted the saints and that was Marshawn's merry rumble, the beastquake as it is called. Was very happy they beat were there to beat the Saints.

Guess I'm not a fan then. If we do not have the ability to do anything in the playoffs then give me the better picks.
