Not surprising to me, although some on the board thought it was a foregone conclusion. I think someone even wanted to bet me they would draft a RB?? ;)  A fool and his money....lol.

We've got Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason, Chandler and the Hammer. We're good. Get your stud RB next year with that first or second round pick. Every year there's going to be drool worthy RBs in the Draft. I expect them to go there next year. I think some might be surprised by how effective the run game is with a much better interior line. 

p.s. I still like Maul of America best.

An aggressive mauling OL will make all the difference. I want big bodied, road grading, mouth breathers

I dunno. The Great Wall of St Paul has the onomatopoeia factor, no?

We’re 1 injury away from Ty Chandler being an important cog in our offense. Are you comfortable with that because I’m sure as fuck not. Revamped OL notwithstanding he’s just not good.


You can one injury away every position. If RB was so important on their list, it would have been addressed. Oh wait, it was in free agency.

Once we traded for Mason I thought this was a foregone conclusion. Not surprising they didn't take a running back. Jeremiah Love in 2026


Yep.

Yes, thank you....a trade for Mason. My bad. Same idea. Vikings must have agreed as they chose no RB in the Draft.

But the draft doesn’t always fill your needs in an orderly manner, and you have to turn your attention elsewhere, especially if you’re drafting with a BPA mentality. To “panic” over such a thing (if that’s happening somewhere) is pretty silly.


Agreed....like not drafting a RB? ;)
