This site crashing every draft is so us

Yeah didn't seem like the barn burner I was hoping to give up a top 15 pick  
I sure thought we'd ask for next years first to get it done.

2 players are better than 1. The 2nd best safety at 32. 34 should be interesting. They have a lot of needs and needed to increase their odds. We'll see how the rest plays out. 

Well hopefully yer getting your moneys worth. From the site anyway. 

Increased traffic brings extra bot traffic. We had gotte some bot traffic from India. I have been working full time in addition to having covid for the second time this week so I hadn't really had much time to give to the site. I will at some point probably rework things to be put on a low cost managed forum software site somewhere pay for like 10 years of service and then call it a day. Besides I might have to start using this server for something else anyway. 

Hope the draft works out. At least I can try and fix the fuckups that are under my watch.

I’m 98% annoyed at the Vikings, 2% bummed the site went down. Just venting. If we go paywall I’m in. Sorry for the misleading headline. I know you work hard for this site and I hope you are feeling better. Covid sucks. Sorry again if you saw this post and it made your day worse. Not my intention just a frustrating evening as a Vikings fan trying hard to embrace “a new era” and seeing more of the same.

There are no guarantees but we need more chances to hit than miss. It's not like a bunch of 7 round picks. 

Booth should go to a system that allows him to play aggressive, downhill football. He would be a menace in the Vic Fangio quarters/half-quarter-quarter/quarter-quarter-half system although he has the potential to fit just about anywhere. He may just need some time to reach his maximum ability in other defensive schemes.

EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings traded the 12th overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft within the division on Thursday night.
Minnesota sent the selection to the Detroit Lions, along with the 46th overall pick in the second round, in exchange for the 32nd, 34th and 66th overall selections this year.
The Vikings were set to select from the 12th spot for just the third time in team history. They are now scheduled to close the first round and have the second pick of the second round.
So draft value points wise:
Vikes give up around 1640 and we get back around 1500 points depending on what draft chart you use?   So, on paper we should have got Detroit's 90th pick which has a 112-point value, and a late 3rd round pick which is not nothing.  
I don't remember one of Spelly moves ever being a net loss.  I'm sure it happened, and I am not trying to defend him, but we may have thrown the baby out with the bath water ( I just wanted to use that line for the first time ever).
But....
A. Booth, CB Clemson is still available and I would have wanted him with a move down in the mid 20's.  So we might get a S and CB????  N. Dean is very tempting as well.  But who the F knows?

Well fuckit then,  let's keep selling low to accumulate more later round picks so we can get 12 players instead of 6.  No offense but I have to believe the talent we would have gotten at 12 and 40,  would exceed the return of what we will get from Cine,  34, and sixty whatever.  We didn't get enough in return and would have been better off staying put than helping a division rival and losing value in the process.
