The other thing about this is I completely agree on Safety. Greg Blue is a younger version of Tank and if he going to be a backup anyways, a younger prsospect makes more sense here.
Interesting they think Nance beats out McMullen, but I have no beef there. I just want, like they do, to make sure Lowber makes the practice squad.
I completely disagree here, and I'm not sure two backs could be much more different. Pinner is a north-south runner with good size and decent speed. He's basically a bigger version of Fason. Mewelde is shifty, an excellent pass catcher, and undersized. He's the change of pace back, not Fason. I really haven't been impressed by anything Fason's done in a Vikings uniform, he doesn't run with much power, isn't all that quick or fast, and doesn't seem to have great vision. He's on the same level with Pinner, where neither of them has really proven they deserve a consistent role in a backfield. Mewelde's a rung or two up the ladder from them. He's probably not starter material, but he's a valuable player that seems to do something positive every time they see the field.
I agree with the rest of your post, but I'd actually like to see Nance make it over McMullen. Nance has some decent upside, he's worth rolling the dice on.
