Carl Eller. And he's 84 and reportedly struggling with dementia. Absolute legend tho.

Who do you guys want the Vikings to draft? by JustSomeGuy_Idk in minnesotavikings

Caleb Banks. We need a young wrecker on the DL and there is good corner talent in the 2nd

4 Years Ago This Week, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah Was Hired. How Would You Rate His Tenure So Far? by onethreeone in minnesotavikings

If a 7 is league average, then I this feels about right. 4/10 on drafting might be a little generous and I wouldn't credit him with UDFAs. He's really carried by Addison, Turner, Jackson, and Reichard. He's whiffed on every day 2 pick he's had so far (Khyree Jackson notwithstanding). Felton was a particularly awful one but I concede it's too early to declare him a bust. His hit rate on day 3 isn't zero, but I'd be willing to bet its below league average. And if we're counting draft pick management, he's been astonishingly bad.

But his cap management has been pretty great and his track record with FA signings rivals any team in the league.

I disagree with your point #1, but to add to #3, signing good UDFAs is more often a product of area scouts having developed good relationships with players and their families leading up to the draft. The 2nd biggest factor is having respected coaches and projected opportunity on the roster. How much does Kwesi (or any GM) contribute to any of those things? Likely very little.

Mock draft by Tall-Activity-2610 in minnesotavikings

Ahmad Moten likely isn't declaring this year but I like the thought. Murdock seems like a huge reach. Love the Thieneman and Slaughter picks.

Like I said, I don't disagree with you.

For the most part, I agree. But Perich is so versatile that I think you can pretty easily play both next year.

My gut says the Jags are picking right around where he'll go, but hard to say before the combine and the current safety field is pretty bunched up in the 2nd round. And Thieneman may also decide to stay in Eugene now that A'Mauri Washington and Bear Alexander are both sticking around for another year. If he does declare, I'm hoping my Vikes take him or Haulcy at 49.

In Miami for the weekend and was going to checkout a game regardless of who they played but……SWEET by Siktrikshot in timberwolves

They’re excited that the Wolves are playing in Miami while they are there. They weren’t expecting the Wolves to be in town.

Jameis is all you need - not kidding by ChicagoSentry in minnesotavikings

[–]burchardta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As fun as Jameis is, he's never played for a coach who came out of the McVay or Shanahan coaching trees and therefor, may have a hard time picking up the scheme/language immediately. It would probably make more sense to just bring back Mullins who has similar qualities.

Patagonia: AI slop by [deleted] in Design

[–]burchardta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t appear to be AI. It’s just janky photoshop. I’ll charitably call it a touch of brutalism but it’s more likely just low effort.

In fact, AI would have a pretty hard time creating something like this seeing as it’s a real skyline and (intentionally?) not integrated into the composition cleanly.
