alexgaddis Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 As long as Taylor is number 3, then I am ok with it... don't see him doing much at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geeteebee Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I've seen a lot of mocks that have the Vikes drafting Mike Williams. Don't think this move changes their need for a #1 WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeductiveNun Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 And with the 7th pick in the NFL draft, the Minnesota Vikings dang well better draft a WR. Burleson I have no problem with, but MRob and Taylor as 2 & 3 is making wish they'd go back and sign Ricky Young. He may be old, but at least he was reliable. And yes, I know he was a RB, but he set a record (probably team record) for most receptions in a season if I'm not mistaken. Robinson and Taylor, 2 of the 3 Minnesota WRs as of this day.

Hugh 0ne Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I'm not a fan of this mediocrity concept. I'm not saying that Burress is/was the answer, but Travis f'ing Taylor???????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low risk WR depth. We will draft a WR high still. We HAVE to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We HAVE to. 735080[/snapback] I understand, but I would imagine that this will take them out of the Burress swepstakes, and I think Burress would have been a better option. Again, I'm not sold on Burress, but think he might have given them some of that big play potential that is obviously gone. JMHO. Travis f'ing Taylor. :shakes head: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I'm sure they prefer Burress. But the NFL Network reports Plaxico Burress turned down a six-year, $36 million contract from the Vikings that included a $9 million roster bonus. (blurb taken from RotoWorld). Can't blame them for not exceeding that offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Score 1 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hmmm.......I think they would've been better off signning Gardner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 and we all know how amazing that Detroit D has been lately... 735057[/snapback] Actually, all homerism jokes aside, the Lions D is pretty darned reasonable. If it weren't for the offense pulling three-and-outs all the time (due mostly to poor play from a quarterback whose name rhymes with Joey Harrington), they'd be viewed in a much better light around the league.

Dr. Love Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Actually, for the money, this was a pretty good signing. Taylor will be much better off not being covered by the opposing team's #1 CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 who the funk is Ricky young? 735164[/snapback] He was drafted out of Jackson State and played runningback for the Vikings from 1978 through 1983. He came to the Vikings as a free agent in 1978, but never developed into the back they had hoped for so other than spot duty as a starter he never became the Vikings featured back for their running game.

BillyBalata Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I doubt after the Vikes signed this contract they walked away from the table saying "Great, we're set at wr now". Minor signing, nothing to see here. I'll take Taylor over Campbell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the first running back to ever do so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
