WR Jalen Nailor looking 'great' early in camp

I still think the Osborn hype is premature. Great kid, but he's very close to his ceiling. That's why the first round pick on Addison. Not saying he's not a very good WR3, just don't see anything more. 

Osborn is decent, and I think he's going to be better this season.  I don't think Addison gets a free pass; especially with missing all the off-season practices already.  If Addison becomes #2, it's because he's beat out Osborn and Nailor.

Did I read that Nailor was injured yesterday?

Yep, supposedly a minor leg injury. KOC said he should be back next week.

I am not surprised, didn't understand why they didn't give him more reps last year, other than JJ the most physically gifted WR on team, another reason why I didn't get the Addison pick, I think KJ will be the #2 and Nailor #3.

Whether Addison pans out or not I don't know, I'm skeptical of an undersized guy like that.  But KOC is his biggest fan, it's clear from interviews/camp scuttlebutt that he was pushing to draft him and believes he's going to be big time.

Cousins was apparently working the press corps to draw attention to some Addison plays, so the rookie seems to have a fan in our QB1.  I worry about his size, too, but a fair number of players seem to hit their "buking up" stride in their first 1-3 seasons, so...I'm hoping he'll be hovering around the 195-200 mark after his NFL conditioning takes hold.

23 years old and only 175...I am thinking you are being very optimistic in that 195 -200.  Hes been in a couple football programs that know how to prepare pros,  I am doubting a new nutrition and weight regime is going to find a 10 to 15% weight gain,  but time will tell.

He can easily put on that weight, but does he lose the things that made him effective to begin with?  I’m more or less agreeing with you.  I think we need to use him on the quick routes but can he take the beating over a seventeen game season?  He’s not going to be a focal point, but with all the pass-catching talent he could really help the offense if he can do that effectively.  Somebody will need to fill the void after we lose KJ after this season.  I really don’t see a way they retain both him and JJ, and I know who the Vikes can and will rightfully prioritize.
