Hey Brian Flores, F you

- your head coach and GM

 

[stocker08]

Weapons.

 

[Gopherguy0723]

YES! Great pick.

[Gophers1992]

What’s your issue with Addison? I think it’s a great value.

Hey Brian Flores, F you

I would like to discuss picking a receiver with you. LMAO

 

[kg21]

He's kind of cocky. I like it.

 

[forever a gopher]

I would have rather had Porter. Glad they didn’t bite on Levis.

 

[Gophers_4life]

Giants are like “LOL WHAT, Vikings didn’t take the best player at the position of greatest need on an absolutely horseshit defense???? Looooololllll gimmedat”

 

[JimmyJamesMD]

Joey Porter and Christian Gonzalez still available after the Redskins pick at #16. I wonder if the Vikings sit tight or make a move before too long for a high-end CB.

Joey Porter was there at 24. What the hell

 

[Gophers_4life]

True, that would have been worse

 

[Nax5]

So happy we didn't take Levis. If mayo in coffee isn't a red flag, I don't know what is.

Fine with the Addison pick. Really wanted Jaxon if we were going WR, though.

 

[kg21]

Tackles are set for years. WR is set for years. TE is set for years.

The rest of this draft and next year they go defense. It's not a bad plan at all.

 

[GophersInIowa]

We might score 30 a game and give up 35.

Agreed. At 23, I was going to be elated if Njigba or Porter were there.

Or, you know, we won 13 games with the offense we have, and could’ve added pieces to a defense that was one of the worst in the league.

One of those, for sure

 

[JimmyJamesMD]

Don't really like the idea of going WR in first round unless dynamic. Would rather have taken nolan smith, Joey Porter, branch, maybe a couple of others.

If we had to take addison, was really hoping for the first 3 taken before Addison, who would have been more complimentary to JJ

a defender drafted would lower it to 33

Woulda preferred defense. But maybe the new DC has different plans.

“Don’t add good players in the draft”

Heck of a plan

Go on record......who was your pick?

Flores is a great coach. I'll just wait and see. No reason to get too upset right now.

A lot can still change between now and the start of the season too.

Hell, who knows........maybe they like Booth and Cine! That's a big if for staying healthy, but maybe they feel a lot better than we do.

 

[howeda7]

I like the WR pick. Our defense will be bad regardless. Need to score a lot. Now trade Hunter to PHI or KC and get Porter.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Porter still there tomorrow

 

[forever a gopher]

Porter still there tomorrow

And the Steelers are sitting there with the first pick in the second. It’s like it was meant to be. Steelers fans probably go nuts if they don’t take him.

 

[balds]

Nolen Smith was the pick. Addison will be a good player. Porter's hips are too rigid.

My opinion, from what I've read, heard and seen.

 

[BleedGopher]

CBS chimes in:

NFL Draft grade: A​

"He is my favorite receiver in this class. He will be a perfect complement to Justin Jefferson, He is a great route runner. Needs to get a little bigger since he weighs 175 pounds, but that will happen." -- Pete Prisco

2023 NFL Draft grades: Vikings pick Jordan Addison at No. 23, add ideal WR to complement Justin Jefferson

[Bob_Loblaw]

Wide receiver was the biggest need on the team and the draft is much deeper at DL and CB. It was the right pick.
