Vikings putting 2nd Round Tender on G/C Easton
LIVE WELL ~ LOVE MUCH ~ LAUGH OFTEN
Sweet, shows good confidence in his development and health. Now add Price and lock down the middle. Hill and Remmers duke it out on the right side.
I really like this move. To me, that's 4/5 of our OL set for next year. We have some good depth (with HIll at OT and Isadora at OG), but we need a RT (esp. if they're going to keep Remmers at RG). Frankly, I'd prefer to see Remmers at RT (and draft a replacement for him) and work at filling that RG spot with either a high draft pick... or Isadora.
They didn't have much choice. With Sirles and Berger FA's.
I think that is to much money for Easton but maybe Rick didn't have a choice.
They had choices, Easton was the best one. Not that that says a lot but they feel he's better than the other options and worthy of that tender shows they feel he's likely to hold his spot as a starter over the guys mentioned. Need a RG asap then a good OT.
@"StickyBun" said: He's a very solid OG with movement."Solid" is hardly a proper description of Easton. But he is a very good guard... ;)
Hopefully, another team likes him enough to sign him and the Vikings will get a 2nd round pick!
What are the odds of that happening?
Slim and none.
I would absolutely take a 2nd round pick for Easton.
when Easton was hurt, the offensive line became offensive again.

I think it was worth it. The OL needs stability and depth.
