I'd wager that Monti thinks the team is ahead of schedule and is looking at what happened when the Giants overextended themselves through a fluke playoff appearance. I also think he's very aware of what the Vikes have accomplished with a patient build.

4-4 is nice but it's probably a fluke result.
True, and there should be caution, of course. No one's advocating trading high picks--unless someone like Garrett becomes available. Trading 6ths for guys that might help the pass rush is doing nothing to overextend.

For me all picks after round 4 are better spent on trades. What are the odds of getting a good starter after 4? Certainly for us, not great.

We're in desperate need of above average starters, and we have a lot of young guys already. If you can get some great players whilst trading picks round 1-3, why not at this point? It's not like we're lacking in salary cap space. (Of course this is all predicated on them being under contract for several years)

I don't think that it is a fluke result. We were in a lot of close games last year and didn't figure out how to win them. This year we are. That shows more progress IMO than it being a fluke.

(I do find it weird that we are probably winning games that most of us thought we would lose, and losing games many thought we would win.)
