Vikings Thin At WR and CB

Thursday, September 16th, 2010

The Vikings are going to Miami without having made any of my expected roster moves.

I would have thought at least one of the three would have happened:

  • Sign former Packer WR Ruvell Martin
  • Re-sign Javon Walker
  • Pick up a free agent cornerback

Surprising that none of those moves were made.  I think with the addition of Camarillo, we’re going to be fine at WR, at least until week 5 when we play the Jets (or even week 6 vs. Dallas).  However, the cornerback position is dangerously thin (only 3 starters?!?!).

The talent available for the Vikings’ needs must not have been adequate – that is the only explanation.  There is no way management could not be thinking about getting help in those areas.  I do think that now is the time to snatch up talent from another team’s practice squad before other teams start having injuries and thinking about doing the same.

I’m still thinking Miami shouldn’t be too tough to get a win at.  We should be 1-1 on Monday.
