JJets at 7th-Best WR, Another K.J. Osborn Leap, Kaepernick’s Tryout

The next questions are about present-day Minnesota Vikings topics, answered by PurplePTSD. Now is the May well 25th version, dealt with in a from-the-hip manner. If you have inquiries, you should e mail them to [email protected].

Also, please note: These are viewpoint-dependent responses. Some answers will be incorrect from time to time. But we’ll attempt to keep that to a minimal.

A: That is too reduced.

Jefferson solidified his position as a Best 3 vast receiver in 2021, his sophomore period. Folks could not rather anoint him as this sort of just after his rookie seasons due to the fact, in principle, he could’ve been a just one-hit-surprise.

Alas, he was not.

Jefferson should be #3 in any WR rankings driving Davante Adams and Cooper Kupp. And that would be on the “low” finish — the base ground.

Q: K.J. Osborn claimed on Jim Rome’s present these days that he looks forward to an additional big leap in his third time? What would the quantities glimpse like if that occurred?

A: Indeed, his intention must be to strengthen.

In 2021, out of nowhere, Osborn registered 655 acquiring yards and seven touchdowns. So, a reasonable leap this season would be 800-900 getting yards and eight or so touchdowns.

He’ll will need targets inside Kevin O’Connell’s offense, which, in principle, could be a smaller trouble. Why? Effectively, Irv Smith Jr. is again soon after missing a season owing to harm. Osborn been given additional focus in Minnesota’s 2021 offense because Smith Jr. was long gone.

Q: If Colin Kaepernick indications with the Las Vegas Raiders, can he truly make a comeback at age 34?

A: He can completely make a comeback for a single rationale. He’ll be requested to be a QB2 or QB3. He will not perform. If signed in Las Vegas, he’ll fight for a backup task with Nick Mullens and Jarrett Stidham.

Should really he acquire that battle — a longshot for a soon-to-be 35-12 months-outdated — Kaepernick will basically hold a clipboard guiding Derek Carr.

Kaepernick will not be signed by any workforce for QB1 duty, so building a comeback as a QB2 or QB3 is much more than achievable.
