Replacement for Brandon Powell perhaps?
There's plenty to like about him. Nailor had his issues with drops and injuries. He should develop into a solid no 3 WR from the slot. Looking further into the future can they pay Addison when he comes up for a new deal? We already have a highly paid No 1. Only the Bengals dump a big pct of the cap into WRs. Yes it meets the entertainment side but it hurts the overall building of a team.VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Sat Apr 26, 2025 12:03 am Felton's production on the field was one of the top in the nation.

Yes. And wr depth is always good in today's passing game. Think it was a pick to help with Addison suspension and be regular 3rd wr.
I think that's absolutely correct. Dudes first statement after getting drafted was "lets get paid". He'll go to the highest bidder. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to trade him after this season. They'll have a full season to see of they can replace him with this guy or need to draft another WR. Keeping Jefferson likely also means always keeping a good #2 on a rookie salary.
Howell definitely has the sound of a last resort backup qb. They also could have grabbed Shedeur Sanders, but I think having such a high profile player lurking in the background when the starter (JJ) hasn't quite established himself yet can be a problem, where you start getting people calling for Shedeur after a clunky McCarthy game or two. So better to have a backup who is a clear backup.makila wrote: ↑Sat Apr 26, 2025 1:04 pm Just traded for Sam Howell. https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1916191721383252064

The #Vikings are trading for QB Sam Howell, as the Seahawks and MIN swaps picks 142 and 172.
#139 was UGA Edge Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins

The #Vikings are taking Georgia defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins with their first fifth-round pick. They’d hosted him on a top-30 visit, after he’d posted the fastest 10-yard split (1.69 seconds) among defensive tackles at the combine.

Some guy named Dugger. No, wait. Diddy. Digger? Diggy? Diggs. DIGGS. That’s it!VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Sat Apr 26, 2025 12:03 am Felton's production on the field was one of the top in the nation.

Kwesi is cooking now. Howell is a good get. He has ability. Welcome to the latest entry into the O’Connell Quarterback Rehabilitation Center.makila wrote: ↑Sat Apr 26, 2025 1:04 pm Just traded for Sam Howell. https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1916191721383252064

Grigson said that Tyrion can play multiple positions in Flores scheme. That versatility is what they like. He has a great motor and is only 21 yo.cogitator wrote: ↑Sat Apr 26, 2025 1:59 pmHowell definitely has the sound of a last resort backup qb.

Agreed! Don't think they'd want to deal with everything (fair or not) with a backup QB, who doesn't have any NFL experience.cogitator wrote: ↑Sat Apr 26, 2025 1:59 pmHowell definitely has the sound of a last resort backup qb.
