The Minnesota Vikings will not ‘tank’ under the watchful eye of Kwesi Adofo-Mensah.
The young executive had already clearly stated that he was not interested in team-building tactics and did so emphatically.
Vikings as a tanker for Caleb? A man recommends it.
“People always talk about ‘just tanking,’ and in this game, I think it’s kind of an illogical thing to do for the stake these players put into our game.” adofo-mensah said at the 2023 NFL Combine.

There is no in between.
In fact, Adofo-Mensah believes in ‘competitive rebuilding’ for his team, turning a roster full of aging, expensive veterans into a venture with youth and salary cap flexibility. That philosophy was front and center this off-season when Adofo-Mensah said goodbye to Jordan Addison, Brian Asamoah, Alexander Mattison and Byron in exchange for starting jobs belonging to Byron, including Adam Thilen, Eric Kendricks, Dalvin Cook and Patrick Peterson, among others. . For example, Murphy.

Williams is already the consensus first overall pick in next year’s draft — yes, even without seeing the 2023 NCAA season.
Soblesky explained, “In a world where the quarterback position has evolved into what one can add beyond the script, Cousins is a throwback. He can do a lot for a team to compete and even win the division crown. Yet his teams never advanced beyond divisional playoff competition.

Mandatory credit: Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports.Oddsmakers project the Vikings to win eight or nine games in 2023, which would put the club in line for the 14th or 15th pick in the 2023 draft – well below Williams’ spot.
“Moreover, Cousins and the Vikings are reaching a crossroads, as the quarterback is a free agent after the upcoming season. Adofo-Mensah must expedite the process and move on from Cousins as soon as possible and complete a rebuild,” Sobleski concluded. Must enter.

Mandatory credit: Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports.Vikings fans can debate until smoke comes out of their ears whether or not the franchise should tank for Williams. If they want him, they’ll have to send a package like the Carolina Panthers to a team with the first pick – or ‘hope’ Cousins gets injured and the team surrenders Nick Mullens or Jaren Hall. They are the only viable option.
But Williams in Purple has a funny theory; This won’t happen through tanking.
Sobleski also recommended a tank job for the Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Las Vegas Raiders, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Washington Commanders.
