Bleed if you trade Barr now IMO it needs to be for more than a 4th round pick. The Vikings can keep him this year and let him go for nothing and get some sort of compensatory pick. I admit I probably value Barr more highly than I should but I think a 4th...I'd just need more although obviously cap space has plenty of value also.

Monster - I agree. I think we get a 3rd in 2020 if he signs somewhere else. I wonder how teams value cap space vs picks.

Our title window is now so trading Barr for a pick doesn't make sense. Just let him walk after you take another shot at a title. Trading him would inflict a big hit on our defense and that's a self-inflicted wound we just shouldn't make when we are trying to contend.

Yep. Unless you get a good pick and then go out and sign a vet that you know is gonna really help you. That's sort of what the apatriots would do. The Vikings generally have kept their young players unless there is a reason to move them. It makes sense to listen if teams are calling on Barr if they are offering anything of reasonable value. We don't know what they are offering but I would bet teams are calling about him. I wouldn't bet on him getting dealt though.

I think it would be remote you keep him this year, but Zimmer has shown he has no problem starting young LBs. He would be my primary target to not bring back next year.

So what do you think of the draft so far?

Cleveland going corner at 4 over Chubb was a surprise. Garrett and Chubb could have been a great start to a good defense. Now Chubb gets to dominate next to Miller in Denver.

Lot of picks in the trenches this year in the top 15. Not sure if guys are gonna drop to us anymore.

Where is Bleed with his draft analysis?

Lots of trades. My friend who is a Packers fan was not happy with them trading back. Lol they moved back up so he was a bit more happy I think.

I'm getting tired but it's been interesting plus I had the Bucks Celtics game on as well.

Ridley dropped to the Falcons. Jesus they just get even more potent offensively. That's a great pick next to Julio and Sanu.
