WR need Yes Or No

WR availability at this point is limited but with Deion Branch becoming availble the Vikes should entertain the idea, or may be charles Rogers. I think our D is strong this year but unfortunately our offense might sputter if we don't pick up a WR with a little more talent than what we have now!
IN SIGHT PLEASE!!
WR _-_-_- Yes or No

Re: WR need Yes Or No

Yes, definitely. Losing Burleson in the offseason and now with the Koren Robinson DUI mess, they need to land another potentially big-play receiver. Branch would be a nice pick-up; realistically, I see them pursuing Rogers though. He's mostly likely going to be cut, and he's a definite risk, there could also be a potentially sizable reward. He wasn't selected in the first round of Michigan State because of pity. Rogers was a talented WR for the Spartans, and while he's not yet been able to translate that into NFL success, maybe a change of scenery will work wonders.

I'm sure the Jets would part with Justin McCariens and they can sure use RB's and Minnesota usually has a million of those.

The Jets already have running back by committee...they don't need another version of Kevan Barlow.

NO!!! They have Koren Robinson (if hes not in jail) Travis Taylor who revived his career in Minny and Troy Williamson. What more do ya need? The Vikes need a defensive line.

Well, at the very least they now need a replacement for the released Koren Robinson. Who's it gonna be?

Whoops! Didnt know Robinson was released but Kasey is right. Branch would be more than good enough to start but id start Taylor as the main guy and Williamson as the secondary reciever (for now) if they dont sign Branch. Plus Marcus Robinson is still around so theres your third reciever. Perhaps they can pick up someone cheaper than Branch as the Pats often do or find someone on the waiver wire. Vikes are in good shape wide recieverwise.
