***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

Doesn't vic fangio run essentially what the vikings were trying to do this year?
 
Chiefs improved around 60 ypg and 7 ppg in defense when they switched DCs between 2018 and 2019, but there were some significant personnel changes as well. Having no cap space and few draft picks is going to make it harder for the Vikings to replicate that.

Article is identifying “deep threats” to take pressure away from Jefferson! Lazard doesn’t fit that mold.

I agree that a deep threat would be ideal for them. Jefferson does his best work with mid range routes. Hockenson is short to mid. I think Lazard would be a great addition, as a red zone threat, and run blocker, but I can understand if they feel like they need someone with a different skill set right now,.like a speedster on the outside to take the lid off of the defense, and keep teams from rolling coverage to Jefferson's side. Still think they should kick the tires on Lazard.

4 wide receivers the Vikings could sign if they cut Adam Thielen - Sports Illustrated Minnesota Sports, News, Analysis, and More

The Vikings need sure-handed deep threats to take the pressure off Justin Jefferson.

Lazard not mentioned.

I’d just go with Quentin Johnson, if he falls that far. Seems like a better option than any of those guys.

Also will mention I’ve seen some odd theories floating about, not only for clearing cap space (as with Theilen), but creating additional draft picks.

Would the staff really get rid of vets like Theilen, Za’Darius Smith and Kendricks? Seems like at some point you’re creating more holes than what you’re gaining.

Renegotiating contracts seems more likely to me. Not so?

Don’t kill the messenger, but it sounds like they’ll go CB with their first pick again after missing on their CB picks last year.

Maybe trade down to get some extra picks and take Jalin Hyatt in round 2 if he is available. There will probably also be some small speedy types available in round 2. Nathaniel Dell, Josh Downs, maybe Zay Flowers.

I wonder how expensive Lazard will be? I imagine he’ll have his pick of suitors but I am not well read on what the market would fetch for him
