Next draft is huge for me on Monti

What good players did Ossenfort release?

Deandre Hopkins

 

[daves]

Sorry let leave, Allen and Murphy

They were unrestricted free agents who had no more reason to sign with the Cardinals than any other team. You can blame Keim for not extending them before the end of the 2022 season, though.

Ok yea I'm blaming the wrong GM then,

Thanks

A dt that can pressure in the middle.
A true edge rusher
A speed wr
Depth along the lines.

That should not be impossible to get done

The same stuff we needed last draft.

Two 1st round picks is where the McCarthy convo would start but they do not want to trade McCarthy.

The Giants would do their 1st for McCarthy and hope Kevin O’Connell rubbed off on him for a year.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Also OG and OC

The Vikings fans I know all say they LOVE McCarthy. He was going to be the starter not Darnold before he got hurt. I have no idea if true but none of them think it's even remotely possible they would trade him on a rookie contract, and give Darnold a big new deal

There’s still time for Darnold to crumble next week or in the playoffs. If they extend 27 year old Darnold you have to trade JJ.

It’s not a tie man lol Will is inching close to elite status while Paris is a very solid/good Tackle. Guess what? We still need a EDGE. Not a huge whiff, but it’s something that can’t be ignored.

And without Paris we'd need a LT...

my dream scenario is we throw two second round picks at the Vikings for mcarthy …who Walter Mitchell says “would be perfect for petzig offense….thing is the vikes would be wise to take advantage of his rookie contract …..

Unfortunately DG, McCarthy would probably be the #1 pick in this draft class, and thus, multiple teams will be trying to trade for him. Two second round picks (where at least one is outside the top 10) will not even be in the same stratosphere as other teams will bid. My guess is that Michigan alum Tom Brady will guide his new Raiders team to buy McCarthy, and that the prize starts with their top ten pick.

The alternative is that the Vikings keep McCarthy on his cheap contract and see what happens, kind of like the Cousins-Penix situation.

Exactly. Kind of crushes the idea that Monti has been a great drafter.

The end of this season looks almost exactly like the end of Kliff’s tenure here. Good, motivated teams don’t collapse like this. Monti put together the roster than collapsed over the second half of the season. Gannon coached a team that collapsed against an awful Panthers team.

Saying there are good signs around another late-season collapse just doesn’t compute.

They started to accumulate too many penalties. That’s likely the sign of fatigue caused by all the injuries and a lack of roster depth. I completely disagree that they didn’t compete. They win the Panters game outright if Connors isn’t injured, resulting in the Cards’ top 3 RBs out. A fluke cost them the Rams game.

 

[Harry]

You should look in the mirror sometimes. You might find out quite a bit about yourself.

I tried that and it scared me so badly I didn’t recover for days.

 

[Harry]

What good players did Ossenfort release?

Didn’t re-sign Allen & Murphy. They weren’t realeased, but re-signable free agents

 

[Harry]

Thanks

That too

Yay for the next draft

If affordable, worth considering.

Yes in an alternate reality where things that did happen didn't, the conclusions will be different.

Depending on James Conner to be healthy for 17 games is a fool's errand. Who was the GM who has made the offense entirely dependent on that happening?

Again, there's plenty of roster depth. We competed with our third and fourth OTs against Carolina and the Rams. There aren't enough top-end players.

With two knee surgeries already? Teams would laugh and hang up the phone if that’s the price

Isn't that sort of the problem?

 

[ASUCHRIS]

The underbelly is fully built, we have plenty of back end roster options. We desperately need above average starters and difference makers, just like we did the past 2 offseasons!

Not expecting Connor to play 17. Also not expecting the top 3 RBs to be out at the same time. Agree the roster was thin. The penalties were most not on the guys playing because of injury.

I have heard the same thing. McCarthy was the guy and will be the guy next year unless Darnold takes them to a Super Bowl.

 

[Chopper0080]

Also OG and OC

I think C is going to need to wait a year. Fro and Gaines is fine for the short term.

They wouldn't but we can disagree. McCarthy is practically untouchable and should be.
