Damiere Byrd

I urge you all not to overlook him at this point just because we drafted Samuel. Curtis was drafted to play slot with some snaps in the backfield, not on the outside. Ginn was mainly a field stretcher on the outside, not in the slot, so we still need to replace his role on the outside and Damiere is definitely still in play here. If anything Samuel is replacing Philly in the slot and Funch's snaps in the slot from last year, not Ginn. Of course we know he's fast at 4.31 but he's not an outside receiver like Damiere or Ginn was. Of course he's just a 3rd year UDFA and we don't even know if he'll ever do anything but I will say don't assume that he'll be an odd man out as a result of this draft.

Byrd will make the roster, like you mentioned he will be replacing Ginn.

Benjamin

Samuel

Funchess (I'd give him this year to really push forward but he has to earn it)

Shepard (He brings more than what some realize, plus, it's a multi-year contract)

--

So, Byrd will have to beat out C. Johnson and Bersin, which could happen.  Or maybe we make some moves post-draft.  

If you would have told me 2 seasons ago that the Vikes fantasy sleeper Johnson was going to be 4th-5th on our depth chart the night after the draft, then I would be excited about the offense's potential.

I also believe CJ2 can fill Ginn's role on the outside

I don't plan on overlooking Byrd because we drafted Samuel.  I plan on overlooking him because last year he had exactly 1 catch more than I did.  Hope he catches on somewhere but the talent on this team is rising and the competition is tough.

    • A friend of mine, Chip, was taking an exam in a business course that he had failed twice before.  He would have to drop out of his major if he failed it for a third time--he claimed the professor, Dr. Brown, despised him, and several others who had Dr. Brown's class with Chip confirmed that Dr. Brown's hatred for Chip was obvious.  Before the exam, Chip was up all night cramming, confiding to his roommate Jeff how nervous he was.  Jeff was understanding and listened carefully.  During the exam (an evening course) Jeff was at work delivering flowers for a local florist.  As Chip describes it, a woman (another student who worked with Jeff) entered the classroom with flowers and a card with the words "Dr. Brown" written on the card.  The professor immediately sent the girl out; Jeff was watching from the hallway.  She left the flowers on his desk and scampered out.  Chip laughed because he thought the professor, a man he hated, was being pranked.  A few minutes later, the professor opened the envelope, and read the card.  Chip was still laughing.  He walked toward the students, still taking a timed test, and stopped at Chip's desk, staring at him.  Chip stopped laughing.  He dropped the card on Chip's desk while snarling at him silently.  Chip read the card, "Dr. Brown.  I can't tell you how much I have grown under the three semesters of your tutelage and guidance.  You are my role model.  I will miss you." --Chip Fxxxxx.  Chip made a C.
