The Vikings preached going BPA all offseason and they take Caleb Banks over Makai Lemon & Dillon Thieneman....
How do we feel Vikings fans?
English
@PatSieps Lemon is a slot guy and Banks has a way higher ceiling than Thieneman does. His doctors say he will be ready for minicamp. I’m ok with it, would’ve liked it better with a slight trade down but they need an upgrade at IDL and he definitely gives it.
English
@PatSieps Doubtful. I think both are gone by 18. Worst case for Thieneman is 17…someone will leap frog MN with Detroit happy to screw them
English
@codyy11_ He also had more sacks than the other top NT’s Miller, Hunter, Orange, Jackson and Banks. So he does have some upside there. This guy is the modern Phat Pat Williams.
English
@VikingsTruther @vikingsspin I think he’s closer to Lewis Cine than Cam Bynum 🤷🏻♂️
English
@vikingsspin Yeah and I think he is better than bynum truly
English
Idk why people are mad with drafting thienamen he’s going to slide into that Bynum role that we lost last year so perfectly
English
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren will be a Viking this time next week 🔥
English
@Shawn9903241459 @codyy11_ He’s closer to Lewis Cine than Harrison Smith
English
@BlancoGringo @codyy11_ @harrismith22 Thieneman’s draft profile reads just like Lewis Cine’s…he’s a hard pass for me. I’d rather have McNeil Warren
English
@codyy11_ Not Sadiq...he's built better than he plays. Thieneman would be a difference maker after losing our beloved icon (assuming he chooses to retire) @harrismith22 Even if he comes back (which I hope he does), it would be a HELL combo to get on the field together in a Flores Defense!
English
@PatSieps He’s coming off a down year and wants out of NY and a big contract extension…Giants know this and have no leverage and aren’t getting a first rounder. I’d give them a 3rd. If not, then I draft a plugger for the middle and go on with more cap space.
English
@PatSieps Thieneman’s draft profile reads exactly like Lewis Cine’s. His freakish testing numbers don’t show up on his game tape. Don’t know why y’all think he’s good enough for the 18th pick. Before the combine he was a late 2nd-early 3rd round pick
English
@hfyn45 sure
rangey, athletic safety with unbelievable coverage skills especially deep, fluid hips, amazing coverage instincts (which we have lacked for years)
In the case of run defense, the Vikings need coverage more, but the narrative that Dillon is a bad run defender is just false:
English
How I would feel about every draft pick for the Vikings (at pick 18)
Ecstatic:
- Dillon Thieneman
- Kenyon Sadiq
- Jermod McCoy
Very Happy:
- Jordyn Tyson
- Lee Hunter
Not Mad:
- Christen Miller
- Peter Woods
- Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Pissed:
- Avieon Terrell
- Caleb Banks
English
@WillRagatz 3rd rounder. Trading teams have the leverage…he wants out and wants paid. Both of those drive the cost down. Then try to recoup that 3rd for Greenard.
English
What’s the most you’d offer, draft pick-wise, in a trade for Lawrence?
Awesome football player. Turns 29 in November. Two years left on his deal, but he clearly wants a raise.

ESPN sources: Giants All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade and he will not be participating in the team’s off-season workout program that opens Tuesday. Lawrence and the Giants have been through two off seasons attempting to negotiate a contract reflecting his value to the Giants over the last three years, but there has not been any progress, per sources.
English
@MLFootball @VikingsDaily @DustBaker @JJVikings @vikesinsider @VikesCentral Not yet, but if he stays healthy and in Minnesota he will likely hold all of the records
English
TRUE OR FALSE: Justin Jefferson is the best wide receiver in Minnesota #Vikings team history…?
English
@JordanRaanan 26 Second rounder probably gets it done since the Gmen know a big new contract comes post trade and that tempers the trade compensation and Lawrence has publicly demanded the trade so trading teams have the leverage
English
Asked around the league and the general consensus appears to be that IF the Giants were willing to trade Dexter Lawrence the return would be in the range of late first-round pick to second-rounder.
English
@Vikeologist Wentz will be QB3. Serviceable is a complement…he looked flat out terrible most of the time he was in (even before the injury). He did have some decent plays. This is replacing Brosmer more than McCarthy
English
This was a no brainer move. He was serviceable. I have a feeling McCarthy will be QB3 now.
Ian Rapoport@RapSheet
The #Vikings are adding QB depth, signing Carson Wentz to a 1-year deal, per The Insiders. Despite significant injury last year, Wentz started five games and kept the team alive. Now, back with JJ McCarthy and Kyler Murray.
English
@jwalk1239 @VikesCentral “Has” is probably now “had” after that injury. No way he’s the same this season (or maybe ever)
English
@VikesCentral I’ve heard of another ‘childhood Vikings fan’ who wants a one year prove it deal; coming off major injury but has some jettssss…
English
Honestly could see Christian Kirk signing here real soon.
Not a guarantee but would make a lot of sense.
English
@JanikEckardt If Brosmer wins any competition other than “best new insurance salesman “ something has gone horribly wrong in Minnesota
English
Gonna be funny when Max Brosmer wins the competition
English
@DailyNorseman @SK_NFL Maybe the fanbase should be patient enough to allow them to develop a young guy.
English
Perhaps a day will come when the Minnesota Vikings won't have to accept another team's rejects at the quarterback position.
Probably not in my lifetime. Most likely not in yours, either.
But someday. Maybe.
English
@Ryan_Boser I don’t really, but Dallas Turner is ready to start and Greenard wants more money coming off a down year. His value is as high as it’s going to get, may as well get a return
English
I’m v confused why everyone wants to trade Greenard
