We had more explosive plays than KC last year.

We are a hammy away from Bisi being WR2. I'm not comfortable with that.

How about Mannion @ QB for 4-8 games???

Vikings have been lucky re: KC durability (knocking wood now)

We have 2 good CB's, one maybe (Hand),  and trash.  Need some CB depth because I never want to see the Nebraska dude whose name I'm having selective amnesia about on the field again. 

WR depth too. As mentioned, one tweak to Theilen or Jefferson and it's Bisi Johnson at #2 and we've all seen how that goes.

A #2 QB with a pulse. Mannion is useless and Stanley is a complete unknown.

Rudy is most likely a cap casualty. I'd add TE to the list, but not until Day 3.

Rudy and Stephens are likely gone.

I'd say WR and CB. We need a returner too so hopefully one of them can do that as well.

Definitely WR

I know some have mentioned CB but I actually like what we have going into next season if everyone stays healthy in Dantzler, Gadney, Hughes, and Harrison Hand.

I dont see how they can count on Hughes anymore...Any snaps at all would be upside anymore.

I noticed that you didn't include Boyd. Do you think he's gone?

I've never bought the argument Mannion has that experience of film room prep and such to be beneficial to Cousins---he's a waste and a lost opportunity to draft the prospect player.   Hell if he ever sees the field you've just waved the white flag on your season.

OT, QB  , DE and WR  not exactly  in that order

If we can find a mediocre LG in FA, which would be a substantial upgrade, and a stopgap 3T, we can go into the draft and take BPA in each round.

With the draft capital already invested in the back 7 on D, we've pretty much narrowed down potential targets.

Yep...anything you get from him has to be considered gravy at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to sign a vet FA and grabbed a decent corner somewhere in the draft.

Hard to say, but the other names you can count on getting impactful minutes
