Makes losing Greenard a lot easier to swallow. It's what many of us felt in our gut, but hearing it straight from Greenard matters.

Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

It does for me...At least my eyes weren't lying last season.

Its been said his first couple of seasons; DT needs to get stronger and be able to rely on power as much as his speed.

He and Parsons are very close in stature (both listed as 6'3 247) but Parsons has a much more complete set of moves.

I don't recall the last time the Vikings had this much young talent and potential along our defensive front. Turner, Banks, Orange, Redmond, and the rest of the crew play up to their ability and the skies the limit. Looks damn good on paper...but we know how that goes.

100%. IMO the Philly/Grenard trade was already worked out weeks before the draft. Vikes knew what they had in Turner and also planned to take another LB like they did with Golday. Im feeling VERY positive about our LB's right now. If Turner & Golday can just be 90-95% equal to Grenard and our IDL of Banks & Big Citrus work out....

Big things... Our D was already super solid last year. Little worried about the safety position but you cant have everything perfect.

Predraft I didn’t bother to look at Turner because there was just no way in hell he was getting passed Atlanta.

23 and set to explode. Must see tv.
