There's not enough room for how far apart those two things are...
I can't imagine a 5th round pick who averaged 320 yards receiving and 3 TD's the last 2 years is replacing Diggs. But I'd love if Rap was correct in that assumption.
"Fill the void"?
Source: Former #Titans WR Tajae Sharpe is signing with the #Vikings on 1-year deal. He’ll likely be the No. 2 alongside Adam Thielen, filling the void left by the Stefon Diggs trade.

I'm thinking they go after Mims in the draft.
Let's hope things turn out like the last time MN had two picks before GB in the first round.
So you want us to draft the next Datone Jones and they draft the next Xavier Rhodes? Because that’s what happened
I was thinking more about the AR pick... it may not have been the last time. Sorry.
Hey don’t be sorry, just funnin’ ya is all, I think we all know where you were going with that

The 2013 first round pick with Ted taking Datone 1 pick before DeAndre Hopkins surely hurt, but not as bad as 2012.
After losing Nick Collins to the neck injury in 2011 and with Harrison Smith on the board I was convinced we had our replacement all lined up and we were getting our first Golden Domer in round 1 since Aaron Taylor.
But no, Ted decides to go all genius and take a 4-3 DE who publicly stated he didn't want to play 3-4 OLB in Nick Perry ... and Perry went on to have 1 decent season in year 5 ... and Ted decided to give him a huge new deal ... and Perry sucked for two more seasons until Gutey finally pulled the plug ... and Ted still desperate for a safety after M.D. Jennings started in 2013 ... reached for HaHa in 2014.
Meanwhile, in one of the moves that keep the Vikings from becoming the Lions, Spielman wisely trades up and snatches Smith 1 pick after Ted gets his guy Perry ... and Smith is an All-Pro for years on end.
Oh well, at least the prime Rhodes, Griffen, Joseph, Waynes, Smith, et al. were not enough to overcome the Queens' poor QB/OL play.
Seriously, get over your fucking TT boner. God, you're a 20/20 hindsight bore.
Yeah I never got the Nick Perry thing. Not surprised he didn't play anywhere at all last year.

And the very next pick after Jones was DeAndre Hopkins.
And MN had 3 first rounders in that draft, Shariff Floyd, Rhodes and Cordarelle Patterson. That's why the vikings suck.
IMO the best play of the Packers season occurred against the Mudducks.
Relive it here:

I can watch that for hours.
That's some priceless play right there.
Awesome play! Right up there with Reggie tossing Carter!
Looks like Pedmo and Trash Bag falling over themselves after another “missed “ holding call on the Packers.
If you get NBCSN, they are airing Packer games tonite. 6
o pm Minnesota skum sukkers from October 24, 2010
The Packers would win this game 7-6 - and so it begins for the Minniquota.
The Minneapolis Marines were tough at the time and there was some pressure for the Packers to win - according to the "humble beginnings" video. The Marines played from 1905 to 1924. The team was resurrected as the Red Jackets in 1929 and and only played two years. Minnesota also hosted the Duluth Eskimos from 1923 to 1927. No championships between them - so that tradition is upheld by the present day Vikings. It is reassuring to note that Minnesota football history is consistent.

A thing of beauty, PackerHawk!
A couple of years ago we went to my wife’s cousin’s house in Minneapolis for one of their kids birthday gathering. It was a Sunday and they had the Viking game on the TV. While we were watching the game I noticed there dog laying in the corner. The poor thing was nothing but skin and bones.
Well, in the first half the Viking kicked a field goal and the dog suddenly jumped up barked a few times and danced a jig.
In the second half the Vikings scored a TD and the dog went to the piano and played the Viking fight song while barking the words.
The Vikings won the game and the dog jumped out the window, climbed in their car, and drove around the block honking the horn.
I finally had to ask, “What is the story with your dog?”
My wife’s cousin replied, “Oh Sparky is the world’s greatest Viking fan. She’s twenty-two years old and for her entire life, every time the Vikings do something good she celebrates. The better the Vikings do, the bigger the celebration.”
”I’d say,” I said. “She drove a car just because the Vikings won a meaningless game against the Lions. What does she do if the Vikings win an Important game like the Super Bowl?”
”How should we know?”
Man, life can be so short. RIP.
Former #Seahawks QB Tarvaris Jackson died last night in a car accident in Alabama, a spokesperson for his employer Tennessee State tells me. Jackson, 36, was TSU’s QB coach. Along with Seattle, he also played for the #Vikings and #Bills.

Read the comments as well as the article..
Brad Childress has been circling retirement for some time and the former Vikings head coach says that he’s finally reached the point where he’s ready to walk away from football for good.
Childress first said he was retiring in 2018 when he gave up his job as an assistant to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, but that was a brief absence from the game as he became an advisor to Bears head coach Matt Nagy a short time later. He took a job as a head coach in the Alliance of American Football, but left before the league’s ill-fated inaugural season to return to Chicago.
Childress said in January that he wouldn’t return to the Bears, but didn’t close the door on a similar advisory role for Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, who broke into the NFL when Childress was the Vikings coach. Childress now says that door is closed.
“People say, ‘Is he really retired? Is he really, really retired?'” Childress said, via Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press. “Yeah. Last year was my last year. I just felt like it was time to move on. It’s about time. I put my toe in the water in retirement and pretty soon you’ve got to jump in. It’s more about spending time with my family and grandkids and that type of thing.”
Childress was 39-35 as the Vikings head coach and has coached in the NFL in one form or another since 1999.
I was curious about Chilly's record as HC and how it stacks up against other Vikings coaches...step below Zimmer, step above Frazier. All are still a step down from Denny Green. Had to laugh looking at their playoff records though, 8 total playoff wins since '92...Mike McCarthy had 10 playoff wins from '06 to '16.
An observant student yesterday noticed in a class video conference that one of my tabs was "Vikings Suck 2.0." We all had a good laugh...
Nothing like a proper and informative education.

Sounds like a guy that used to play in Green Bay that he coached... 
The NFL is debating on having the season start without fans... they have reached out to the Vikings franchise for advice.
