    Bradbury has turned it around and is a very serviceable center.

    Bradbury is an undersized center, I don’t think anyone would argue that. He was drafted during the Kubiak era though which implemented the zone-running scheme on offense. That scheme uses smaller O-line players that are more mobile.

    Well obviously the Kubiaks are gone and he’s still here. I do think he has gotten better but his size still limits him in a pass-heavy attack.

    It’s almost time for pitchers & catchers to report.

    Mike Zimmer is in the running to replace Dan Quinn in Dallas as defensive coordinator.

    Perfect he will run a 35 old defensive scheme in Dallas.

    Absolute delusional to think we’re on par talent wise with Detroit and GB.

    You can’t go two drafts and only pull one significant contributor and think it won’t catch up to you..

    And to pay $90 million to an aging QB coming off a brutal injury on a full rebuild…again delusional..

    Did they not?
    Yes Kwesi first two picks of his career are probably bust.

    He’s also coming off what was going to be the best season of his career from a statistical stand point. He was literally leading the entire league in passing yardage and tied for the lead in passing touchdowns when he got hurt. He’s never had a significant injury and he’s not injury-prone. One injury does not represent a pattern.

    I’d take a healthy Cousins over a healthy Goff or J Love at this point. In 5 years, no.

    They ranked the NFL drafts over the last 3 years and the Vikings ranked 5th. Yeah, there are definitely some duds in there and some players they probably should have taken HAMILTON, but by in large theyve done pretty well.

    If Cousins or Hunter signs a huge contract with another team what would our compensatory picks look like?

    Going to be real interesting here in the next 10 minutes with the free agency opening.

    Most likely a 3rd round 2025 pick for each.

    I don’t think they were awarded any for 2024.

    Yep, off to Atlanta four year deal and the Vikings were not looking or considering four years.

    But I think Kirk cousins can’t do anything until Wednesday at the earliest

    180 million, 50 million signing bonus, 100 million guaranteed.
    It’s a business and it’s a money grab and I can’t blame him

    Well, now that we can stick a fork in Cousins and likely Hunter, too with Van Ginkel signing, The next big headline will be locking up JJ

    Who will throw him the ball? Who’s the bridge? or do we think we have the draft capital to grab a rookie we can throw right int the fire?

    Edit… Grennard, not Van Ginkel – reading too many headlines…

    The Kirk Experiment ends in failure. I think he had to make it to the NFC Championship Game for it not to be considered a failure. Thanks for nothing, Kirk!

    There’s a 2024 thread discussing this exact thing. I think it’s time to put a bow on 2023.
