The spin zone here is that hopefully some of his deficiencies are masked by having Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson next to him. We'll see, I'll buy in for now

Whatever his weaknesses he’s such an upgrade over the mess last year. They overpaid to stabilize the interior. Had to be done if Caleb is going to have a shot to develop.
Funny how Vikings fans seem to have a particular flavor of vitriol for Caleb. I never got the little brother attitude despite having a superior fan experience for the last three decades or so. I loved the Sam D run last year, was rooting for yall to finally make it. But yall would NEVER do the same
Yeah I'm fine with it given the presence of Ben Johnson and Roushar is an OZ guy and the beef around him. They've also been so conservative their cap can absolutely afford an overpay here. But I get it
I hate to sound like a meatball, but what's the point of having cap space if not to move starting positions from "crap" to "not crap". And center has been crap in Chicago for ages. Also, Dalman is fine at pass blocking and elite at OZ blocking -- which is about as good as what hits FA anyway.

But his pocket presence was god awful last year and that hurts linemen.
