O’Neill in the second round back in April Cheap Kyle Rudolph Jersey , the view from most draft analysts was that he needed to add strength and some bulk before being NFL-ready, and needed some time to improve his technique as well-having been a converted tight-end with only three years experience as an offensive linemen at Pitt.In my draft break-down of O’Neill, I figured the Vikings would give him a year as a backup to improve his strength and technique before having him compete for a starting job.But over the course of training camp and pre-season, O’Neill looked to be progressing faster than that.He remained inconsistent, but it was becoming clear that at some point in the not too distant future, he would surpass Rashod Hill in overall performance.That time has arrived.Against the Cardinals on Sunday, O’Neill got his first start at right tackle, as Rashod Hill moved over to left tackle to replace the injured Riley Reiff.O’Neill had gotten 120 snaps at right tackle prior to that as well, and looked to be holding his own.On Sunday, O’Neill was the highest graded offensive lineman for the Vikings, according to Pro Football Focus Andrew Sendejo Jersey , and is also now the highest graded offensive lineman on the season so far, narrowly edging out Riley Reiff.O’Neill has also outperformed Rashod Hill in all but one game Hill has played since becoming a starter for the Vikings.More than that, O’Neill has generally been improving as he get more reps, while Hill has declined as the season has progressed.All that being the case, it makes sense for the Vikings to elevate Brian O’Neill to become the permanent starter at right tackle, and when Riley Reiff returns from his injury, designate Rashod Hill as the new swing tackle.Doing so should help take some of the pressure off of Kirk Cousins, and may also help the Vikings running game too.And for a Vikings offensive line that has ranked near the bottom of the league so far this season, an upgrade at right tackle is more than welcome.Daily Norseman Pick ‘Em & Survival League Sign-Up Coming Friday We’ve definitely waited long enough to do it, but our annual Pro Football Pick ‘Em and Survival Leagues are coming here soon.We will be opening the sign-ups for both of those leagues at 5:00 PM Central time on Friday, 31 August. That way Cheap Harrison Smith Jersey , it will kind of slot in between the final preseason game and the Minnesota Vikings trimming the roster from 90 players down to 53.Per the voting in the poll we did a while back, we will continue not using the point spread for the Pick ‘Em League. If anyone wants to put one together that does use point spreads, do up a FanPost on it and we’ll put it on the front page for everyone.We will, however, continue using the Yahoo! Sports “confidence point” system. That means that each week, you put a point value on each game based on how confident you are that you’ll get the result right. Your lowest point total week will be dropped, so if you have a week that you forget to put in your picks, you won’t be penalized too much. If you miss more than one week, however, you’re going to be sitting with a zero.As far as the Survival League, for those that have never been in a Survival League Cheap Linval Joseph Jersey , here’s how it works.Each week, you pick one team that you think will win that week. If that team doesn’t win, then you’re out of the league because you failed to survive. If the team you picked wins, then you move on to the next week, but you can’t use that team again for the rest of the season.So, if you’re interested in being in one or both of our leagues this season, be sure to get in on the action on Friday. There’s a limit of 100 people in each league, but if people want to put together more after the first ones fill up, then that’s always an option as well.
