A huge blow struck the Vikings, who lost their rookie quarterback, JJ McCarthy, during the preseason, deeply disturbing Minnesota’s plans. Meanwhile, the Giants seem like a team that doesn’t even have plans, considering the number of poor moves they’ve made in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With JJ McCarthy out for the season, the former Jets first-round pick, Sam Darnold, will become the starting signal caller. And look at the irony as he returns to the stadium where his downfall began – MetLife. He unexpectedly received an opportunity to revive his career alongside arguably the best wide receiver in the league, Justin Jefferson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minnesota added plenty of defenders, mainly edges, who will be the backbone of the Vikings’ defensive strategy. The first-round pick, Dallas Turner, combined with Andrew Van Ginkel, can form an excellent duo. Ah, one more thing: RB Aaron Jones came from the Packers. That’s maybe the best under-the-radar move in the division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
