Good Morning!
Brad and I have been talking about it for a while, it’s time to fire up the mailbag here at Skoloholics. Just like I did previously expect a lighthearted answer to any question(s) but I’ll give you an answer…a wrong answer is still an answer though.
For salary cap questions Iโll continue using overthecap.com so Iโm consistent with the numbers.
Any trades involving draft picks Iโm using the updated NFL Trade Value Chart developed by Rich Hill available at https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart-Rich-Hill.asp
For evaluating or looking up draft prospects or rookies my go to is thedraftnetwork.com
If I canโt come up with what I think is a legitimate answer, Iโll ask someone who I think can provide one.
If youโre on Twitter, and you have a question about the Vikings, the draft, fantasy football, or life in general, tweet us a question with #Skoloholicsmailbag or you can dm me on Twitter (Rob@DN1). If you do, please let me know what your username at Skoloholics is unless I already know it. You can also leave your question as a mention in either Twitter account.
Preferably, you can leave a comment in this post, Iโll revisit it later in the week.
Going forward, my plan is to get this posted for questions on Tuesday with the followup post with answers on Friday.
Whatยดs the bigger need for the Vikings right now, CB (with Booth waiting in the wings) or TE?
Also is this mailbag or male bag?
Who are you and when do I get paid?
or are these supposed to be Vikings related questions?
In the 62 seasons the Vikings have existed, have they ever gone the first 6 games of the season without a starter being out?
How many times have the Vikings had the fewest penalties in the NFL?
The chances of both of these things occurring at the same time have me looking out my window for the Swedish bikini team to arrive.
Donkey Kong Suh disappeared like a fart in the wind, haven’t heard a peep about him in a couple months. Is it still a possibility that they try to get him to come to Minnesota?
Mrs_Rob from Floriduh previously pondered:
Set yourself up for scorn and derision and predict the W-L record
I updated the verbiage up top…that I forgot about this morning answers will post Monday when I get back from hunting.
So Jimmy Johnson………..
Was Columbus an immigrant who brought diversity to America?
You’re thinking of Columbo.
If this years Vikings team were an animalโฆ what animal would they be?
and why
A barbed-wire fence
Why?
Who?
Where?
And when?
What???????
Do you think the Vikings will trade for any players by the deadline?
Really hard to say. I’m getting conflicting readings.
Maybe Rob will know.
Should the Vikings be worried about the Cardinals?
No
It seems to me like every game will be close. We could win any of them, but I doubt any will be blow-outs.
Thoughts on bringing in the skunk (Cordell Beckman Jr.) or trading for Chase Claypool?
I’ve heard chatter, especially about OBJ, but I think the team has bigger needs. I do have to admit that Thielen has lost a couple steps. I also believe that Osbourne can take on a bigger role, but do we want a better WR2 to pair with JJ?
I just don’t think Kwesi would do it.
3 solid receivers already and pulling money from his purse doesn’t seem like his style.
Yeah, I don’t think it’ll happen, either. There was quite a bit of steam on Tweeter about it.
Is this meeting mandatory?
No, but you’re required to attend.
Do we ask our questions here in the comments section?
following..
^^^^ our first question ๐๐๐
LOL, so that’s probably a “yes”
Stay tuned and find out!
