The off-season doldrums are setting in a bit, so traffic is slowing a bit. We’ll do what we can to keep things rolling through the off-season. We think it’s slow now, I can’t imagine how slow it will be once the Super Bowl is over. Yikes, it’s gonna be a long wait until the draft. We’ll think of something.
Minnesota Vikings News:

Mel Kipers first rd mock has us taking….
How pathetic they still need a CB after using a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th on CBs the last three drafts
Yup…our drafting evaluations have been dog shit outside of the layup Jefferson pick that fell in to those bozo’s lap.
Also this competitive rebuild is a BS marketing term to keep selling tickets and being mediocre for eternity.
Is 13 wins mediocre? Don’t change the subject of my question. is 13 wins mediocre? Yes or No.
Mel Kiper sucks…
Is Cine a for sure to fully recover? I thought his injury had some history of wrecking careers…
Some other teams FA’s possibly hitting the market I’d like to take a look at if KAM can purge some salaries and extend Kirk to get some spending money.

Good to see a couple centers, that sure helps the Vikings.
Turd wasn’t that terrible this year. But something has to give. Either we need a QB you has a feel for the pocket and will shuffle/escape or we need to beef up the interior. We started that with Ingram but that center needs to have some Anchor for Robo-Kirk.
Do we want Jalen Ramsey?
Depends on what he cost us.
Never really been a fan. He brings a lot of pouting and it’s all about me although he did play well down the stretch he can be a negative personality on the field.
Wouldn´t mind signing him if the price is right. Can be a headache maybe, but this defense needs all the help it can get.
He’s under contract so they’d have to trade for him
That could be hard to accomplish, true.
Hunter for him strait up? Who says no?
Uh…probably a no for me. I think a top 15 DE who’s a model teammate with high potential is better than a former respected top corner who gets burnt more often than he should and is high maintenance.
I like Hunter, but he has been a bitch about his contract before, including while he was on season ending IR. With Ramsay’s current contract vs. what Hunter will demand I don’t think it’s that far off base assuming Ramsey plays up to his potential.
A bitch?? He’s watched every single one of his teammates get paid and he gets stringed along due to an injury and has to do another proved it year, which he did with no issues. It’s time for someone to pay him if not us.
false, he threw a fit in the middle of his lucrative extension he chose to sign during a season ending injury. He played out a prove it season this year because he had no choice after two years wiped out by injury. Say what you want about Ramsey but he has had zero injury issues.
This must be the after dark Skoloholics page.
Article grading the Vikings 2022 draft class.
The gave them a 50% grade on production and ‘A’ for potential.
No mention on how bad that Rd 1 trade was and the potential was for Cline/Booth coming back from injuries with no problems.

As of right now, that draft looks bad. That could change, but as of now, it don’t look good at all.

Short Summary today.
Between Ben being short and GF being quick there are some unhappy wives in the Midwest I suspect.
Actually GF is short. I’m not sure how tall Ben is.
