Derrick Pope could be the leading candidate to move into the role held by Dontarrious Thomas the past two seasons. Because the Vikings consider their three linebacker positions to be interchangeable, one player has been used as the primary backup for all the spots...

I kindof like the Pope signing.
Additionally, I also like the approach Spielman has taken in the FA market this year.
Getting some guys to fill holes were needed.

Only glaring issue still seems to be at DE.
Sure wish they would reveal thier plan.
;D

I keep saying it and will probably do it sometime, but I gotta get a program to do that kindof stuff.

Yes He has been a mean dog getting the players we need and doing it right. Kinda holding hostage until they sign like with BB.
Thanks Wylff

They just keep making shrewd decisions, leaving only DE to be addressed and I see another vet DE being picked up, and a young DE in the draft. We have 9 picks this year. And are gonna be wheeling and dealing to get what we want.

Spielman sure has earned his keep.
Wish he would get off his ass though and fix the DE issues.

From what i can see.

9 picks this year is surplus.
i really wouldn't be suprised if we package some deals for players/player.

So far what I have seen from this organization is they are trying to build a team that will be solid for years to come, AND try to make the window we have now. (for me that window is 2 seasons) with many of the vets we have in place.
so y es, some draft day deals seems very likely..

You can do it with MS paint, but there's not a whole lot you can do with that program and the end result isn't all great, but you can easilly cut and paste with it.

Hey Marr.... you can download paint.net for free and it has a vast array of options and tools to use.
The tricky part is figuring out how to do everything.
I've had a lot of fun with that program just messing around with photos and attempting to make sigs...although I'm far from artistic or creative for that matter so I struggle in that department.
;D
