Ty Chandler is a free agent. Ham is retired. Jordan Mason is a RB2 and Zavier Scott is an undrafted free agent. No matter who the Vikings add at QB, a big part of their success (or failure) is going to be connected to how well we run the ball.
Unless we somehow get lucky with Love, the rookie back we bring in will be a day two pick at best. Can you count on that guy? I'm gonna say no. Tre Henderson was a phenomenal prospect—uber successful, big program, loves to pass block, goes early on day two, but doesn't start for the Pats until week 9, because he couldn't be trusted to—wait for it—pass block.
No, the Vikings should've taken their back last year. Now they need to cover for that in free agency.
I really don't think Kevin has any kind of pulse on the team....at all....so you could be right. But its an alternative. The problem is you don't know how the Draft is going to go down and if you wait until AFTER the Draft, you'll probably be looking at a bare FA RB cupboard.
