The team's record was as over-it's head as any team I've ever seen.

Didn't really lose a single close game.

When Rick Spielman drafted this team, he did us no favors.
When you still have Adam Thielen as your #2 WR and Harrison Smith is still your best safety (after what happened in the 2017 NFC Championship game, it shows how bad Rick Spielman was at GM.

It will get worse before it gets better. Bummer that Kwesi has such an uphill climb to get this roster in good shape. Kwesi had a bad draft class, but it's right in like with Spielman's horrible drafts for years, so too early to move on from Kwesi.

Kwesi is far better at trading for establish players so far with Hockenson. That was solid.

I'm not sold on your new avatar... Yes, that Hock trade was A+ in my opinion. I liked the 2 seconds we got from GB, and I do think he's done a good job finding some decent FA value, but I still have a very bitter taste in my mouth on the trade down for Cine and flipping our 4th this year as a part of that draft day trade last year.

I'll give him some time, but so far I see a lot of aggression for the sake of aggression out of him, much like our head coach for that matter...

Have to give them time. Not much, but time. I think they both had learning experiences this year that will set them up for the future. The early returns on that class arent great but still early and unknowns. Tonga and Shelley were solid pickups as well and maybe part of this teams future, cant forget about them. The Hock trade was great and shows they are willing to go for it. At the end of the day Kevin and Kwesi career with the Vikings will come down to identifying that QB in the draft.
