Gladney...SMH

with the 14th pick the Minnesota Vikings select Patrick Surtain, Cornerback, Alabama
“We are aware of Jeff’s arrest and are gathering additional information. We take this matter very seriously, as the reported allegations are extremely disturbing. At this time we will have no further comment.”
This is some repugnant shit. 2-10 years is a slap on the wrist. There's nothing lower than a man who abuses women, children, or animals.
The Patrick Peterson signing is needed now more than ever. Gladney sounds like a real POS. Get that garbage off the team and completely out of the NFL.

Did Gladney “fall to us” in the draft or did we reach for him?
Not trying to blame the Vikings because no one could predict something like this (if it’s true), but just wondering if there were any red flags along the way. Really ugly situation.
A reminder that picks and potential are nice to have but proven players are better.

just a thought
what a waste of a recent
1st rnd pick. Chris Cook pt Deux
if anything positive about this, Vikes have time/money to cover.
Hopefully the victim is alright. As for Gladney, there is no way that whatever was on that phone was worth throwing his career away for, but that was the choice that he made. It's hard to see this being a case with nuance like what happened with Alexander when he thought his Dad was kidnapped or killed.
Fortunately, the Vikings have some good depth at corner right now and for better or worse, it gives someone like Hughes a chance to prove himself. Unfortunately, Peterson, Alexander, and Hughes are all FAs after this season, so if someone like Surtain slides to them, which is possible if there are runs at QB and OT, then he may be too good to pass up. Also, the Vikings new DB coach was Surtain's position coach in college.
Some people have this anger inside them. Insecure little boys that can't handle their emotions so they lash out in violence.

Wonder exactly when the Vikings found out...Sure paints all their activity at corner this offseason in a new light.

If true the POS needs to be gone. No excuse for this, none whatsoever
