K-Gun10 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 This would make perfect sense for both teams. Potential Vikings-Dolphins deal? Posted: Friday March 28, 2008 07:55AM ET Trading unpredictable left tackle Bryant McKinnie to the Dolphins for high-character pass rusher Jason Taylor would seem to make sense for the Vikings. The problem for Minnesota, though, would be replacing McKinnie. Next month's NFL draft will feature several top offensive linemen, but they're expected to go early, and the Vikings don't pick until No. 17 in the first round. St. Paul Pioneer Press Tayler expressing interest in leaving, and Fins are prolly going to draft Long. McKinnie recently arrested Childress said it will be dealt with, and Udeeze will prolly never play again. Only thing not good bout this is Parcells has said High Character guys only.
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I cant see any ot's past Long going in the top 16 picks. The vikings should have their choice of Clady,Otah, Chris Williams.
Tortured Soul Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I cant see any ot's past Long going in the top 16 picks. The vikings should have their choice of Clady,Otah, Chris Williams. Clady could go to KC at 5, an Williams to Denver at 12.
Christopher Capolupo Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Problems or not, McKinnie is a stud OL. You can't trade your LT without a plan to plug in that hole quickly.
Pete Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 That would be great if Clady slid to us and we could work out a deal with the Vikes. Their game is premised on running the ball and they would have a big hole at LT if that deal went down. I was at a club in Coconut Grove and saw Mckinnie- he is one of the biggest people I have ever seen. He seems more like a Miami type of guy then a Minnesota type of guy- I was wondering if he is asking management for a trade to Miami. I would rather have Taylor, so IMO it's a great trade for Minnesota
CJPearl2 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 This is far from "in the works." It seems only mere speculation.
stuckincincy Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Tayler expressing interest in leaving, and Fins are prolly going to draft Long. ...Taylor expressing interest in his last signing bonus...
nichebiche Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 you fail to make the connection as to how this potential trade COULD affect the Bills. at #17, Minnesota is a perfect draft day trade partner, whether for an OT to replace McKinnie or to move up to get that pass rushing DE like Derrick Harvey if the Taylor trade doesn't come to fruition. for the Bills, they could only move down 6 spots and still pick up a guy that will help them at WR, CB, DT or even TE or LB. they would also get an additional 3rd rounder and a later round pick.
Steely Dan Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 I'd like to see Buffalo trade JP and the 11th pick for the Falcons three second round picks. Maybe JP and the 11th pick and a 5th rounder for the three 2nd round picks.
seq004 Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Problems or not, McKinnie is a stud OL. You can't trade your LT without a plan to plug in that hole quickly. A stud OL? Don't tell Vikings fans that. I think most would call him a disappointment.
