This is the Jefferson r time. We’re already good. We have a. Elite defense with obvious weaknesses at w r and guard. Upgrade the line or w rs.
Go back to school. You missed the day they taught English.

I am wit ya!
Push all the chips to the middle of the table!!!

Yup, the last times we had this good of a defence, we either got to the SB or lost the NFCC on one occasion. We are, imo, a WR away from a Lombardi with how good this defence and our running game is. I think Cooper was holding us back a bit on the road, but we needed to replace him. Now is when we need to pull a Rams and be buyers. Otherwise, we will have buyers remorse as the window closes with our defencive players.

Never guaranteed another shot!
Got to take it, but need some deals.

Exactly, strike while the iron is hot. Especially since the Eagles have 2 1st round picks next year, we have to have a go at it this year. We might not get a chance next year. Now's when we have to really have a go at it, and Justin Jefferson would be an excellent choice. If we have to trade a 1st, so be it.

Now don't give Jerry any ideas!
You know how he is with wideouts and first round trades...

If we want a cheapish deal, we could probably snag Kendrick Bourne from the Patriots for a 3rd round pick. He'd be another good choice if we want to save a 1st. Or, if we really wanted to be creative (since we'd have to cut someone anyway), we could go for both Jefferson AND Bourne, and then trade away one of our depth WRs to either to make the draft pick not hurt as much.

This is the season to do it, and I don't see why we can't go for both Kendrick Bourne AND Jefferson, AND, since we'd have to make a cut anyway, try to throw in Dalton Schultz (since our younger TEs are very good anyway) or Noah Brown. The Vikings don't have much at TE. We might be able to snag something like that. Or, for a sneaky move, Elijah Moore from the Jets could be a 2nd round trade. Essentially, for a second and third, we could possibly get Jefferson and Moore. Two WRs to go with Lamb and Gallup would net us a lethal WR group to go with our run game and defence. Essentially, we'd be going full Rams and, considering the Eagles, we don't really have a choice if we want a SB.

Don't think it was that long ago when Stephen said he wasn't going to put the future of the teams' relevance by going all in on one season. Paraphrasing of course.

Vikes are 6-1. Exactly why is Jefferson on the block?
