Matt_In_NH Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Can the Vikings sign him long term? Thought they had some cap trouble. I guess this is cousins last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I’m glad the Bills didn’t go after him. Similar to quarterback I think you draft defensive ends non stop until 1-2 rookies hit. Given our team structure we’re not going to pay big time defensive end money. Murphy and Hughes have decent money but once that’s gone those millions go to another position we re sign. We’re not paying any ends 15+ million for awhile. I still think Yannick is mostly a hype machine. One really good season on a top defense and mediocre the rest of the time. I like his fit in Minnesota but I’m glad he’s not in buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Bills!!! Beane is so awful I’m sure he would have drafted Tony Eason over Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 1 hour ago, Buffalo Boy said: Agreed. The question is: Do we trust McBeane’s drafting acumen in the future? I do. It’s the second through fourth round steals that will make or break this teams future and I’m feeling really good about that future. those steals at RB are a lot easier than premiere pass rusher. He might have snagged one this year. Maybe. But I’d be surprised to see many teams with solid bookends that didn’t invest a premium pick or large free agent contract. Definitely not impossible but we will see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always unlikely that he would come to the Bills with the cap freeze. It's unlikely that the vikes are better with Ngakoue if they lost Griffen, Diggs and their NT. New CBs too. Their new corners are way better than than old corners, but the rest is on point. I don’t think ngakoue is much better than Griffen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve heard from CFB guys, this is supposed to be a great draft year for DL. I’m with you, I think we’re pretty strong on the DL this year, and next, but this offseason begins the draft process of adding more young, rookie contract talent, to Epenesa and Oliver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 1 hour ago, GunnerBill said: Yep. They could have found a way to keep Diggs... but they want to run the ball a lot on offense they felt losing one of their two top end receivers was worth it to maintain and upgrade the defense. They are gonna run a lot. The Kubiak stretch zone scheme..... Cook is gonna get fed a LOT And Mattison. He’s going to get more run this year imo. Once he shows he’s just as productive, they don’t have to pay cook. I wouldn’t pay that guy over 10 mill a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been nice to have him opposite of Epenesa for the next 5-6 years... A 2nd and a 5th ain’t much for a perennial 10 sack a year DE... but Beane knows more than I.... I trust the process.. DE will probably be a high priority position for us in next year’s draft... We dodged a massive cap problem. His contract will be huge. 5 hours ago, NoSaint said: right. By adding talent at a more premium position. And likely acquiring a high comp pick as Milano would count and YN doesn’t. it wouldn’t have been crazy. And Milano has a good chance of being gone regardless. Very very unlikely we'd get a comp pick for Milano. We'd need more departures and arrivals to even get any picks and that doesn't seem realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
