Sam Howell traded to Vikings

[pittpnthrs]

You mean John Schneider?

Pretty much. Him and all the posters that claimed it here.

 

[Hawkpower]

I'll be surprised if he's on the active roster at the start of the season, but we'll see.

You'll be the only one

He's expected fully back earlier than that

 

[Natethegreat]

You mean John Schneider?

JS said he brought him in to be back up. Maybe you and Toffee can get together and commiserate over Geno.

 

[Azvacar]

Uh... no?

Just as I say we got something immediate for Howell in the draft, we then draft a player who will be out for a year rehabbing a torn ACL. LOL

 

[Azvacar]

What team do you watch during the season? We needed OL, DT, WR, TE, Safety (Apparently alot of you here think Coby Bryant at 190 lbs is Strong Safety material)

Oh god no.. we didnt draft 8 offensive linemen? The sky is falling!

Yeah this draft keeps getting worse.

 

[NoGain]

Uh... no?

Well that's good to hear. The announcers were implying that they didn't expect him to be a contributor to the Hawks this season, but rather next.

 

[BigMeach]

Pretty much. Him and all the posters that claimed it here.

Show us where JS said that.

The biggest weakness is the Oline and they only addressed it with one pick. WR's, TE's, and Safties are the easiest positions to plug and play and FA should take care of that. I'm not opposed to taking said positions in the draft, but for the love of goodness, pour resources into the biggest area of need.

This is going to turn out to be a bad draft.

Ask Keasley to do it. He brought it up.

I know most teams are screwed if their starting QB goes down, but wow, we'd be lucky to win 4 games with Lock/Milroe. I hope we've done enough to protect Darnold. I would assume that spending no free agent money, making no trades, and drafting just a single OL from the football powerhouse of North Dakota should be more than plenty.

 

[ruffENrowdy]

Cr

I would start by trying to address real needs at least. When you use draft picks for a TE that's made of glass and a QB you hope can be the next Taysom Hill, that's a problem.

Cry about it then lol. This crap against John is laughable at the least.

 

[Natethegreat]

Ask Keasley to do it. He brought it up.

JS was asked when the trade happened whether he was brought in to compete for starting spot and he said he was brought in to back up Geno. So the statement is coming from another Geno lover that can't stand that JS had the audacity to bring in a back up QB. Its silly and stupid. We needed a back up QB on a cheap deal due to cap issues and JS got one.
The hand wringing over Howell is so over the top here.

You're high, brother. B+ draft so far.

 

[Trackhawk]

I couldn't imagine being a negative Nancy like this lol. Its a draft, its a crapshoot. Take who you think will make the team better

But, but, they didn’t draft MY piece of crap.

 

[Ostatehawk]

You're high, brother. B+ draft so far.

Prior to the draft I had maelstrom as most likely to hate the draft. Pittpnthrs is the current leader.


Not shocked.

 

[Natethegreat]

I'm just glad Sam Howell is gone so we don't have to endure any more nonsense posts ripping on the guy or JS etc. So much vitriol over something so little.

 

[pittpnthrs]

You're high, brother. B+ draft so far.

I hope your right Soul, but I’m just not seeing it.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

As usual. And that's cool. I expect nothing less

They also went out and got themselves new coaches and a new scheme for the offense. Unless we're saying that makes very little difference to how players perform effectively in their positions.
