Vikings @ Cowboys
This game is going to be a doozy. Provided JJ McCarthy doesn't step on his own Willy again, the Vikings should be able to move the ball as well or better than they did against Washington. Cowboys have the worst pass defense in the NFL.
They also have best pass offense in the NFL. But it's not a clean offense. Prescott throws for a shit-ton of yards, but can also make mistakes. He threw for nearly 400 yards against the Lions, but also threw 2 picks and took 5 sacks. I expect a similar, football-flying, error-filled performance against a much better pass defense than the Lions have (Vikings have the NFL's 4th ranked pass defense. Lions rank 19th).
Strength against strength; weakness against weakness. Good old fashioned playground game with a lot of yards, scores and big plays on defense.

Ok, I would say we are set for now on special teams, but the rest need help, back up QB is near the bottom of the list and should be available without wasting a draft pick to do so.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

OK, so EVERYTHING outside of special teams is in need of help. Well, except maybe LG, RG, LT, RT, WR1, WR2, WR3, TE1, QB1, Edge1, Edge2, DT1, ILB1...but yeah, I agree, everything outside of that.

Yes, we need better depth or youth behind even if the starters seem solid. And by youth i mean rookie contracts that can contribute amd and eventually challenge for a bigger role. Not wasting draft picks for back ups on veteran deals.

Agreed. I don't think you trade for a Mac Jones unless the intention is to bring him in as your starter. If you are solid on McCarthy heading into next season (which is the way its trending) then bringing back Carson Wentz as the backup makes all the sense in the world to me.
