The Legal Tampering Period

All Vowels™️ to the Giants.

FWIW and this isn't finalized by any means. The Vikings line as of today internally is: 

LT - O'Neill 
LG - OPEN 
C - Bradbury 
RG - Cleveland 
RT - Udoh 

It really sounds like they're open to many combinations at LT/RG/RT however they have generally kicked the idea around that O'Neill could slide over to the left side. Cleveland/Udoh could flip-flop potentially. But then Rashod Hill is your swing tackle. 

What it ultimately means is that we likely will see an interior O-line signing at some point, but its not going to be anything "special". They'll look to the draft to really finish off the line.

So they like Udoh then?

I'm sure O'Neill's representation is pulling for him to move over. But I think this would be the lineup only if they're itching to get Udoh some snaps, and that may be the case. But I also think the Vikings might be better served waiting to see who's on the board at 14 before shifting everyone around. If it's LT's like Sewell or Darrisaw, they may be better off keeping O'Neill on the right. 

Always hated the fill one hole by opening up another type move. 

That being said, it's probably easier to find a G than a LT. I'd put Cleveland over there, draft another Cleveland, and find a serviceable G, like Cleveland did last year.

Cleveland.

I'll believe they like Udoh when I see him in the starting line-up for a meaningful game.

Hinton baby, Hinton. Hope he hit that weight room last year because it looks like he has the fundamentals and intelligence at the position. 

BIG GAMBLE, but BIG PAYOFF if this line is
effective to good. 

IMO leave ONeill at RT,  Draft a LT early that can kick inside if necessary,  Let rookie, Cleveland, and Hill compete at LT,  one of the losers between the rookie an Cleveland kick inside for one Guard spot,  and sign another veteran OG to compete with them for the OG spots.  Please leave ONeill at RT,  this franchise has been snake bitten time and again in the last 10 years by moving working pieces around ,  when will they learn?

I wouldn't hold my breath on Kyle Hinton. This is smelling like the groundswell on this board for Samia before he actually played and we realized he sucks.

I'd like the team to do something that they haven't done in quite awhile, put the 5 best OL on the field at the same time!

Thats not a line-up that fills me with Bravado...

Is "Open" an internal nickname for Dozier?

I'm kind of shocked they won't even "pencil in" someone at LG. The Pope of the Longship Church will mock me every time I mention Samia, but holy crap, two years out of college and they won't even give him a nominal shot to open training camp in the role?? I'm actually not some Samia fan but did they really give up so completely on a player they traded up to draft and is all of 23 years old? Damn confused IMO.

So 2 that’s 2 Dalvins & 2 Clevelands, for those scoring at home...  ;) B)
