Adam, you dont like my security ideas? Dont be a stick in the mud like Freds. That guy is a real killjoy, so dont listen to him.

I love the Gaither plan but doubt we’ll even make him an offer. They won’t want to risk not getting him and have McKinnie pout all year. It would be a good time to break out the old poisen pill contract and get it done. Fargas would be OK but I like the guys we have or Mike Bell. We definatly need a corner.

I really love your plan Adam. Get Gaither and get rid of Bryant “my feet hurt” Mcweeny. Letting #29 go was a very risky move. If the Vikes don’t replace him with someone like, say, Darren Sproles (is he still looking?), they are in trouble. And Dayyuuuummmm, I sure hope they are reading, GET A SECONDARY!

Agree Vike need one position in Free Agency so as not to put too much reliance on draft picks. There are three key positions to fill-CB, OL and RB.

RB would be least pressing with the talent available internally and externally. Harvin could also see more backfield playing time.

IF CB would expect the 1st rounder to start at least as 5th DB. If an OL then I expect there would be some competition for a spot.

What if, Vike decided to select a QB in 1st round?

To the contrary, Fran, I really like them both and would be fine with having them back up adrian.

With that being said, I like Fargas even more…

You don’t think much Ian Johnson or Albert Young, Adam?

I always liked Johnson and kept looking for him to be activated and get some playing time.
He’s not ideal size for a third down back but he’s no lightweight either. I think he’s 6′ maybe 210#?
I hate to see us have to waste a trade or a pick on a RB at this point. Especially now that Hicks is gone, that puts the need for the O-line right up there with DB & QB.

I’d perfer us to pick up a RB in the later rounds and concentrate on our DB and OL needs first.

We need draft picks especially with a good draft class coming in, so just trade McKinne and get something for him after a “Pro Bowl” year.

Justin Fargas just got cut by the Raiders. Huggy Bear’s Boy is my new favorite HB option for the Vikings #2 spot.

Humor me for a second and assume the Vikings sign ZERO UFAs this offseason (which is possible at this point). Taylor to Chicago and Hicks to Washington would likely result in two compensatory picks in 2011 in the 5th to 7th round range…

That is a silver (okay, more like copper) lining in all of this.

Much agreed… and I like the “McIdiot” name… I might steal that
