Also, make sure you note: These are view-based responses. Some responses will be incorrect from time to time. But we’ll check out to retain that to a least.
Q: I observed one thing in which the Vikings could or must trade for Jerry Jeudy. Feelings?
A: If Jeudy was offered for affordable — certain.
But that is unlikely the scenario, so we’ll say no. Just because the Broncos are playing buffoonishly does not imply Jeudy would be out there for an economical pricetag.
There are some rumors suggesting Jeudy is on the trade block owing to Denver’s mind-boggling poor begin, but the Vikings most likely will not be gamers for him. Minnesota now traded for its “other 2020 WR” in Jalen Reagor. The group should use him rather than desire about Jeudy.
Q: Does not the Vikings 3.5-position distribute in opposition to the Cardinals, at house, really feel a minimal very low?
A: Indeed.
The stage unfold implies the Vikings are only a 50 %-level superior than the Cardinals, as the dwelling team in an NFL sport is typically granted a few points of favoritism off the bat.
The Vikings are 5-1, whilst the Cardinals are 3-4 and have appeared hapless in some video games. However, Minnesota struggles as opposed to mobile quarterbacks — especially with Ed Donatell in demand — and Kyler Murray is precisely that, a cell quarterback.
Maybe the line will tick up in the coming times, but “only 3.5 points” feels lower for a 5-1 group at house towards a 3-4 one.
Q: Do you think Chris Reed will be traded?
A: If the Vikings trade anybody, we believe it would be Reed — to a further playoff-contending crew.
On the other hand, it is unclear if the Vikings will make any moves in advance of the November 1st trade deadline, so probably the franchise will just help save Reed for coverage. If Ezra Cleveland or Ed Ingram were hurt, Reed would be the upcoming man up. And if the Vikings love this newfound offensive line competence — they must — holstering a contingency approach in Reed is wise.
Reed could begin for other teams, but that doesn’t mean basic manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah need to trade him.
