Vikings signed Mannion to a 3 year deal and Browning has 1 year left so I did not think Vikings are going to draft a quarterback and I was right
You're a long ways from being right yet.

I thought days 1 and 2 were really solid. Got some day 1 starters at positions of need. I haven't been too impressed today but I think there's a chance that Rick is stockpiling all of these players in preparation for having no season this year. If the season is cancelled, we can most likely keep all of these guys on our roster and work/develop them throughout the year and see who understands the playbook after a year and then decide who to cut.
That’s really the only scenario where this strategy makes sense. It will be interesting if that’s what he’s thinking. A huge gamble but if it happens it will be truly sad obviously but he’ll look like a genius.

He should still grab a QB though. Even more so actually.

I'd be surprised if most of these guys don't make the cut.
I have yet to see a player we drafted that is unlikely to make the team.

It is going to be interesting to see who Vikings will pick at #201, #203, and #205

That means he’s cutting 1/3rd of the people on the roster right now. That’s a MAJOR rebuild.

Yeah the only one I haven't liked was the WR.

I think the guys so far have a good chance to make it. From here on out it's gonna be a challenge but you never know.

Watkins goes one pick before us. Thad Moss would be a great pick here.
