Did the Vikings concede defeat on Ed Ingram by signing Dalton Risner?
Over the long term, the answer is a firm “no.” After all, we’re not even through a couple seasons at the NFL level, so much remains uncertain even as things are trending in a negative direction. Part of the negativity that exists among Vikings fans, though, rests in the reality that Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s initial draft class has largely failed to take flight. Most are barely on the runway; some are back in the airport.
Signing Risner appears to be a smart move but if Ingram is the one who is being replaced than fans will be given even more ammunition for the growing criticisms being sent toward the GM.
