Kwesi on Jordan Addison " We ended up with an impact player at a premium position"

 

[Minnewildsota]

WR was a need, but it wasn't the biggest need. I'm fine with the pick, seems like a good player. They definitely could have used the pick elsewhere though, like QB, CB, etc.

Not going to get my underwear in a bunch over it though.

I just called it a "meh pick"

Just saw who the Vike's picked... meh...

Just a huge missed opportunity, as better fits were there to be had.
I'd have been OK had we not been at the tail end of a 4 player run on WRs when WR was pretty far down our list...a couple fell a lot further than expected... but by the time we picked, it was about as expected and I'd have rather seen a different direction taken.

It is what it is, I'll be rooting for him, but just not excited about what he can add considering the passing game is damn near maxed as is anyway.

I was just giving my general thoughts on the pick?

 

[keppel146]

I like the pick a lot. He could prove to be a great #2. Jordan Addison>Calen Addison

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I’m going to count not trading down 17 spots for shit value as a mini win.

 

[Sad People]

Really hard to get value when a QB isnt there.

Other charts have said we lost value in that trade others have said we got value. Its entirely subjective on what narrative youre trying to push.

There was a QB there... There still is a QB there.

In last years draft? No there wasnt, Kenny Pickett was still there but he went 8 picks after our 12th pick.... Hence why we didnt get an absolute haul for that pick. You might thinkl dropping back that far is worth a certain amount but that doesnt mean we will get that.

I think he was referencing the Kentucky QB in this year's draft.

But thats not what my post was about nor the Dr. post..

Definitely wasn’t following along properly. I think Levis would have been a better pick than Addison this year.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Addison is (probably) a great player picked at a non-top 5 area of need.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Tennessee got a steal with Levis in the 2nd round.

I’ll predict the packers go tight end and offensive line for their two picks.

 

[Digitalbooya]

There's a tight end! 1 for 1

 

[DeagleJenkins]

Hopefully the vikes go after some d line. Make cb not as big of a need if they can apply a ton of pressure

 

[Minnewildsota]

There's a tight end! 1 for 1

lol they didn’t even pick the best TE available

 

[Digitalbooya]

lol they didn’t even pick the best TE available

And who was the best TE available?

 

[Minnewildsota]

I don’t know. I’m just giving you shit. It’s strange times around these parts; @Avder is back, @f7ben is thinking the Wild win tonight…

Well the packers took another tight end, so that’s something lol

Well, that's kind of O Line. I'll give you 1.5/2.

 

[Digitalbooya]

The second 2nd round pick was a WR, so I was 1/2 and 1.5/3 for the picks. It's pretty strange to pickup two tight ends, no? Packers have needs elsewhere.

Maybe two different types? One a Kleinsasser, the other a pass catcher?

At a certain point you have to trust that your team has seen something from those players beyond their position. I mean, the Vikes have an elite WR, traded for an elite, pass catching TE, have a decent WR in KJ, then picked another WR, when their defense is abysmal.

I'll just have to assume that they picked the best talent.

No, they’re both pass catching TEs.
