Feeling a little thin @ WR now...
just saying..Floyd? Treadwell? I felt good about JW as #3
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
At this point I wouldn't be shocked to see us go for a WR in 1st or 2nd round of draft.
@"purplefaithful" said: just saying..Floyd? Treadwell? I felt good about JW as #3I hear 'ya, pf. I'm guessing they have their eye on someone, or have a plan in place for the 3rd down spot. JW was the professional WR you could count on. I really liked him too.

Latest word is Vikings would like to bring Wright back under a different contract.
@"StickyBun" said: Latest word is Vikings would like to bring Wright back under a different contract.I just mentioned that in the other thread. We'll draft another WR and we have some young guys who might be ready to get on the field.
Would love to see them add Dante Pettis in the draft.
But, if they really want him they likely would have to use their 2nd or trade up in the 3rd.
He would be the new punt returner too which is sure to upset some people.
Two birds with one stone though.
Wright was never happy with the confusing lack of use. He was a team guy and kept working hard. If there is another opportunity, he will take that before returning here at a reduced rate.
I really think they bring Floyd back for another shot - he will be inexpensive, and I think Keenum just didn't look beyond Thielen or Diggs (even when either was out). But probably another deep threat type WR, either cheaper FA or draft pick, as well.
keenum sure didnt look beyon looks 1 or 2 it seemed. go look at the vids, treadwell was open way more than thrown to. plus wright could come back or our younger guys may be better than we know.

It's something I saw being a season tix holder at all the home games last year.
Interesting...Maybe having Cousins here helps Treadwell? I hope so...Best for Viking nation if things fell into place for that kid. He's really struggled to-date.

That's all true, but Thielen and Diggs almost make-up for it.

Ive seen it several times Sticky. Just messing with ya!
Thielen is good at going up for the ball, but we really need that big WR...
Maybe, just maybe Brandon Zylstra will be another Theilen in the making.
@"kmillard" said: Maybe, just maybe Brandon Zylstra will be another Theilen in the making.Maybe but he ran a 4.64 and Thielen ran a 4.49. His 3-cone was 7.19 and Thielen was 6.77.
He led the CFL in yards last year with 104 catches for 1,687 yards and 5 TDs.
Emmanuel Arceneaux had 100 catches for 1,137 yards and 6 TDs. Just saying.
