Mine would be a legit, shut-down corner.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Strong interior pass rusher/run stuffer.

I would love a quality corner to add to the mix, but I don't know who he takes over for.  Peterson?  Dantzler?  When does Booth get into the mix? 

I think the corners would play better if we had a DL who generated pressure from the inside.  A disrupter from the middle (or 3-4 DE) spot would free up the edge rushers and slow down QBs from escaping.  Either guy from Carolina (Burns or Brown) would be a great get in my mind.  

IF we traded for Burns, could that slide Danielle down to RE where he could be more effective?  He seems to be out of place and his production is suffering because of it.

Buffalo would never trade him...  but it begs the question...  What would a team even offer for him to get Buffalo to pick up the phone?  Like 10 first round picks and a top 15 QB?  Lol

You mean like Jordan Davis who we should have taken at 12?

Vikings have no need for stud DTs.

They're both great QB's and would be consensus #1 or #2 picks in a re-draft. I would take Mahomes to start my team though. 

Probably cause I liked his daddy when he was a MN Twin.

I was thinking something even better.  Not sure Davis is a pass rusher.

Definitely a CB like the OP said.  Would make a huge difference on our D.

He is the highest rated rookie interior DL with Tackles and Pressures. I would love sacks, but his pressure rate is very good through his first 6 games and he disrupts the pocket with his up the middle pressure. We are not getting any push up the middle with what we currently have. Qwesi made a huge blunder trading out of 12. Even before Cine's injury, he was struggling to grasp the defense, and couldn't beat out Bynum who is average at best. To me Cine is also a Box Strong Safety and doesn't fit the Soft Shell deep cover 2 defensive scheme Donatell runs. Now I'm afraid we will never see him reach his potential in a Viking uniform with his injury. Hope I'm wrong and wish him all the best but even if he comes back 100% I'm not sure his skills translate to what we are doing.
