Trade deadline Nov. 5th
Rumors flying that teams are calling the Browns about Myles Garrett. Edge isn't exactly our biggest need, but that's a helluva player. Right now the Vikings have a 1st rounder and two 5ths. That's it. We'll likely get a 3rd round comp pick, but would you give up our precious 1st rounder for a player like Garrett? If nothing else, to keep him away from the Lions, whom I'd bet are one of the teams calling.
Dexter Lawrence and Jeffery Simmons are also getting some buzz. I think Jeffery Simmons might be the better fit for us since he plays one of the DE positions in a 3-4, where we currently have Bullard and Tillery.

I could see Jaycee Horn for sure. He wants a deal. We have the money and a position that is much needed going into next year.
I'd put Horn probably right after Dexter on my wishlist. Might be a little more likely to happen too.

I just have had that feeling. I honestly think we get Horn. Its one way to make sure you get a player in a draft where we have less picks.

Horn's healthy right now but he's been hurt a LOT. Whoever pays him is taking a big risk. I don't think KAM would be afraid of that but it's worth mentioning.
I think our DBs could be fine if we could ever get middle push from the DL without having to use stunts to create it. We need to find a guy that can play every down and create pressure in the QBs face, or at least consistently draw a double so our middle blitz would be more effective.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?
Darrisaw is now ruled out for the year. JFC. So we have to look at that as well. Quesenberry is a solid back up but we are now thin there.
ITs a hard place the Vikings find themselves in now...LT was pretty important last I looked, but they wont be able to replace Darrisaw with someone of that caliber. Is that replacement on the team now?
At a higher level (and at 5/2) do they believe themselves to be contenders? Something else?
Are they going to roll with what they got? Try and add to the team for the rest of this season for beyond?
Lots of interesting discussions at TCO over this mini bye.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Best case for this team is a wild card and most likely would be a one and out. Do not see how it would be worth it to be a buyer, rather see them sell although no point in adding picks when our GM has no idea how to draft players.
I would say now the Vikings find themselves looking for a scratch and dent LT before the trade dead dead line.
Doubt that Quessenberry will be a good replacement for the rest of the season.
I'd kick the tires on Bakthiari to see how his knees are doing. Doesn't cost you anything to give him a tryout.
