He is far from Treadwell. I can't prove it now but I knew Tread would be a bum on my kids. JJ can run routes that is the key I look for when watching tape and hands. His measurables are actually better the Diggs coming out slightly. I had him number 3 in this deep WR class just behind Lamb and Jeudy. Measurables is not why I am confident though. The tape and my eyes see a guy with a ceiling as high as Diggs. Neither can be best in NFL but around the top 10-12 area.

Bisi Johnson? Is he just an afterthought or do you think our WR group is strong with him in it? They say he can play all 3 WR positions.

Good question! I like Bisi and he was a nice 7th rd find. I see his ceiling as a #3 but that is okay he can be a really good #3 with versatility. We are deeper this year than last because Tajae Sharpe is not great but he also can be solid people sleeping on him. Bisi still getting better so I feel we have 4 great to solid Wrs. KJ Osborn has grown on me and Beebe is back so 6 who can contribute. I feel confident in where we at with the WRs. Offense is ready in my opinion almost. If we have a few guys step up at IOL we will be damn good on offense.

Justin Jefferson looks like he will contribute sooner than later. He cannot be expected to replace Diggs because Diggs was very good at running all routes from all positions. He won't catch as many deep balls as Diggs, but he may score as many TDs. If he becomes a strong #2 and scores touchdowns, the Vikings offense is likely to be better than in 2019. Not because of JJ but because of a better O-line and better execution in year 2 of Kubiak's offense.

It looks like we have a good mix of WRs. Kirk should be happy.

Should've known coming from a guy who claims he wants to be the top dog all the time, but 5'6" 230 at 65 years of age sounds like a very short "Michelin Man." At least that's what I picture..... (roflmao)

I am not trying to offend nobody on here so if anyone fits this profile forgive me. I am 6-1, 240 if someone is 5-6 and weigh 230 they need to come work out with me. They would likely be shaped like a bowling ball. I guess you could be all muscle but 230 is too much on a 5-6 frame LOL.

It depends on how you carry it and really the size of your bones. I ran a full marathon at 5-8 235 for what it's worth. Would never call myself skinny, nor would I use the bowling ball analogy. Traditional weight metrics just don't work with me.

Gotcha that is why I added the muscle part and you taller than 5-6 at 5-8. I never meant to offend you I apologize if I did.

Training for my first half-marathon, and, I have to agree. Anyone who has finished a full marathon has earned the right to say they are a bad-ass.

Impressive. If we were doing a make believe fantasy board football team I nominate you our featured star RB. I am a natural CB who could play safety and WR but have put on a few pounds so might need to slide to LB these days. Together we would go kick the Packers forums butts LOL!

I'd be kicker, punter and the 5th CB.

Cool, I want you as slot CB though so you would do the kicking and be the #3 nickel CB so you can play a lot using your quickness LOL SKOL!

We need Bos somewhere on defense too. I bet we would kick Packers boards butts man that would be fun.
