Ponder wasn't a "clear" option. He was a slated 2nd round talent, and it was widely seen as a reach by the Vikings to take him at the 12th spot.

You are grasping at straws just trying to tear down Shanny. Instead of being a hatter, how about you realize this isn't going to happen overnight. You don't grab a QB just for the sake of grabbing you. If the guy doesn't fit you system, you don't take him. If he's a 2nd round talent, you don't take him in the top 10. Those types of panic moves are what sinks franchises.

Which was worse last year? Offense or Defense? Defense. So what did we need to address that year? Defense. Which is worse this year? Offense. Guess which side we'll most likely address this upcoming draft.

I'm a impatient mofo, but some of you make me want to strangle you. You expect success overnight from a decade (and more) worth of mismanagement.

Disagree slightly here. We committed our top two picks to defense mainly because they were damn good prospects according to our scouts, not mainly because of the performance of D in the year prior. Identifying positions of need is good and all, but grading the prospects before taking them is absolutely necessary.
