Reggie bush should have been a wr. He would have had a much more productive career that way.

The most Dangerous Difference maker in the draftI had posted this video in the other Tavon Austin tread. I'm not saying we should get rid of Sproles, but could you imagine Austin and Sproles on the field at the same time?? seriously, what would defenses do?

The Vikings can draft 2 starting WRs with their picks. Austin is nice but not worth all that.
While I agree with most of what you're saying, I feel Austin's speed is a plus. It's his cuts man. He has great vision and his cuts gets him to where he needs to be. In my humbled opinion, that's his main weapon. Then his speed comes in. He makes defenders look silly.I'm sorry but you don't get rid of a proven veteran in Sproles who broke the NFL All-Purpose yards record for a rookie who has yet to step foot on a NFL field. Austin may be the next great thing but he could flop.
IMO players like Austin who use thier speed as their main weapon in college are soon to figure out they can't do that in the NFL (like Reggie) as most players are extremely fast and take much better angles than college players. I hope Austin all the best but if the players we covet aren't there at 15 then I would rather trade down and gain some picks to replenish our team than to stock pile players at positions we are already strong at. Drew spreads the ball around to much to invest in another player when we already have Sproles and Moore.
If we are worried about losing Sproles in 2015 I promise there will be players in the next two drafts that people will compare to Austin or that will be better.
haha I just looked at the title and had forgot it had a 'Sproles trade' in there. While I agree with you that Austin is awesome, I can't condone a Sproles trade. I rather us keep em both and give opposing defenses nightmares. Sproles and Austin in the backfield...seriously? haha possibilities, endless.Haha. I love how this thread keeps poppin back up. Austin is the sh*t. Sorry.
