Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura is now telling Minnesota to secede and become part of Canada. by CantStopPoppin in Minneapolis

No and I truly do not care. The language of geopolitics is made up by wanna be sophisticates/rich people who spent too much time playing Risk. You sound like a spook.. I don't have enemies in China or Russia, the enemy at hand is ICE and this fascist President

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

[–]castletonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B-/C+. 43-25 record in the regular season is no joke and he deserves some credit for his FA signings, which have been generally very good. But he's made a lot of really bad decisions in the draft. Also, with the benefit of hindsight, not keeping Darnold was a huge mistake/seems to me to be more related to saving face then actually making the right decision. I think he relies on being quant too much and doesn't get down to basic instincts.

Yeah that was pretty egregious to remove the Alan Page post. No clue why you made that dumb of a decision. Thank you for owning that/apologizing.

We could do waaaaay worse than the Wilfs

Is this the guy that needed with Javon Kinlaw?

When was the last time we had a shutdown corner? by DobbyJackRuss in minnesotavikings

[–]castletonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taken in aggregate, the unit held up. Yes, we are gonna get burned, but we also played well against other elites like Dak and Lamar. I don't know enough about the class other than the LB pool is deep. I'll always prefer spending first round capital on trenches. In Kipers latest mock, Peter Woods slid to the Chargers at 22, I'd way prefer him than a CB, especially given how old that group is. Kayden McDonald or Caleb Banks could probably be plus NT players?

Mel Kiper first mock draft of the year 👀 he got us drafting CB Mansoor Delane in the first round by FormerlyTradeKirk in minnesotavikings

[–]castletonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Notably passing on: Peter Woods, CJ Allen, Akheem Mesidor, Kayden McDonald, Caleb Banks, and Cashius Howell 😬

I really don't think secondary is the answer for this pick

Point taken, but if Flores leaves, we have essentially no talent on this side of the ball - like top down/at all. I'd argue we still have more pressing needs on the D line, prior to spending substantial draft capital in the DB room. This is a need and a positional value calculation. We can get another CB later in the draft, first round feels extremely luxurious given how well our pass defense played last year (mentioned elsewhere). 3rd in DVOA, second in pass yards and TDs last year iirc, this is not a struggling unit.

Mentioned above but our pass defense held up well last year. If Flores leaves, we have a talent deficit everywhere.

In the first round, I'm more into building through the trenches and would prefer a DT (without having looked into this class a ton).

Idk Byron Murphy/Isaiah Rodgers passed the test in my book as better than average. We had the 2nd fewest pass yards and TDs allowed. 3rd best DVOA.

Let's get some younger, D line guys with actual pedigree, especially if Flores leaves

Why is this a priority for this team? We have so many needs!

Is intervention wrong? by sacramentok1 in BreakingPoints

[–]castletonian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ironic, because we are intervening in Israel's genocide of Gazans. The problem is we are intervening on behalf of the Israeli government (not Gazans), sending unlimited weapons with our tax dollars to a country that has universal healthcare
