Vikings signed CB Lito Sheppard to a one year deal.

I thought you were joking. I like this move. But it begs the question.. Does this mean the Vikings will NOT be looking for a CB/DB in the first few rounds in the draft now? If that's the case, chances of them trading down are pretty high, IMO. Unless Clausen/McCoy drops. This is going to be a REEAAALLY interesting first round. And I'll miss it because of work.

Damnit.

I hope the Vikings draft Colt McCoy in the first. Man, that guy has the potential of '08 Kyle Orton.
This is a placeholder

This means that you signed an aging corner who everyone has been running circles around for 2 years now. There's a very slim chance that he'll return to his 2006 form, but I don't think that the Vikes want to go with that.

This doesn't change whether you'll draft a CB early or not. Lito for reasons I just mentioned and that he's 29, already. Winfield will be 33 when the season starts. Griffin had a horrible injury.

I just can't see you passing over a good CB if one drops to you.

The real plus here is that you won't have to reach for one if they're all gone. It's not like you're handcuffed to a CB now in the first two rounds. If the draft doesn't work out the way you want, it won't matter as much as it would've.

Well, just because the Vikes won't be looking for a CB/DB in the first few rounds doesn't mean they won't pick one.. Like you said, they just won't be handcuffed to any one in particular.

You said it yourself.. Winfield is 33. And while Lito isn't going to be a pickup for the distant future.. If he either gets healthy or improves his play, he could end up sticking around a lot longer. I'm of the mindset that very soon, even within the next season, Winfield should be moved back to safety. He's losing a step and has been known to get burned.. Might as well save his pride and bring him back to a position he probably would have been better at anyway.

Either way, I think picking up Lito very much effects the Vikings draft thoughts.

Well, I was way off from my thoughts that Lito was going to effect how the Vikes drafted. Which is a good thing.. lol

Anyway, the reason I'm posting is because the Vikes made some cuts today to get to the 53 man roster. One of the most notable names cut? Javon Walker. Right now, they have 4 WRs on their squad (not including Rice, who's on the PUP list). This begs the question.. Are they looking to deal for or acquire Housh?

And from a purely homerist stand point, I was hoping Sherels, Lloyd, Payne and Triplett would make the team. I'm mostly surprised with the cut of Triplett, as I thought he played pretty solid (would've made a nice addtion to the kick coverage unit, IMO).

I think TJ is a Free Agent now, pending no one claims him on waivers. So, no deal necessary.

I thought Javon did well for the Vikings. I'm kind of surprised he was cut after his two nice scores.
