I think Onterrio will see the light. Cris Carter did. That's why we got him for a slick $100! :cheers:

Cartes saw it with a new team though

Good point. But, he did see it in MN. So, SOD could too! Let's hope! :salute:

thats cool with me

i think we should trade either bennett or onterrio and trade up with miami to get either edwards or williams. if we don't trade up, i doubt either receiver will be there when we pick at #7.

Why not trade our running back(s). Trade up in this year's draft to get one the big three RBs' in the draft. All three fit the new Vikings mold of Power Running game with a stout Defense.

RIght now we have an injury prone RB, a drug prone RB, and a guy with 5 games experience!

I wouldnt feel comfortable with a rookie Rb and the WRs we have now or if we draft one at 18 thats not a lot of experence plus or RBs are going to be fine if not get one next year.

Onterrio is the only back we have besides Moe that can hope to lead a run-oriented. You might remember that the year Bennett had 1200 yards, it was in the pass-wacky Randy Ratio offense. He would get 1 or 2 yards for most of the game, and then bust through for an 80 yard gain. The problem is that you can't control the clock that way, and your defense is eventually going to wear out, no matter how good it is. You have to be able to move the chains.
