On what basis is he deciding what he wants, though? Put another way, KAM passed on Kyle Hamilton and Jordan Davis in his first draft as GM of the Vikings. He evaluated the talent available to him at pick 12(?) that year wasn't more valuable than trading back to the end of the 1st round and swapping...

I'll go with Penix at 11 and Powers-Johnson at 23.

I want him to be able to put significant resources into getting one of the QBs he wants and plugging them into an offense he has already put together himself. I'd really like to see what KOC can do when he is actually able to get the pieces in place that he wants. On what basis is he deciding what ...

So if KOC is really doing what he says he's doing (which I have no doubt he is), then he also must know how difficult it is to find a single prospect with any certainty. Not to say he can't find a player who has more potential than another player, but so much at the QB position comes down not just ...

No question that Penix is the most Marino like of the presumed top 6 QBs. Good call VikingLord. What I was getting at is a guy that can come in play year one like a top level pro as Marino did. For more recent examples CJ Stroud, Brock Purdy. Brock Purdy? I think he was taken with literally the las...

We need the next Marino an instant star who could throw any pass in the book and had a lighting quick release. Does that exists within this group of 6? I have no idea but it's highly unlikely. I don't know if he's an instant star but Penix fits that description in terms of ability to throw any pass...

Judging from what I hear Quinyon Mitchell is my preferred CB with DeJean just slightly behind followed by Arnold Mitchell has everything you want in a CB physically and played well in college. If his level of college competition were higher he'd be a top 10 lock. I wouldn't be upset if the Vikings ...

I typically don't criticize posts (or try not to), and I wasn't criticizing yours. We all have opinions and I'm fine with that. Fair enough. Thanks for clarifying that. I just don't see what KAM could have done in the last two years to realistically address the situation. Kirk was firm on two more ...

I don't like Arnold as much as several other players available at 11. I'm guessing he wouldn't even be BPA at 23. I'm confident Nix and Penix won't be available at 23. It's possible I just don't think it will happen. So I stand by my Nix or Penix or McCarthy or Maye at 11 and BPA position of need a...

Not intending on disrespecting you. I realize it may come off that way. Take responsibility for what you wrote. Flip the words back on yourself as if I or someone else had written the same in response to you. You honestly wouldn't be offended? I was more trying to get you take a look from a differe...

Peter Schrager's 1st round mock draft posted this morning. I'd be pleased with this one. https://www.nfl.com/news/peter-schrager-2024-nfl-mock-draft-1-0-giants-leap-up-for-j-j-mccarthy-vikings-stick-and-pick-cb-qb I hate Arnold at 11, but if you flipped it with us taking Nix at 11 and Arnold at 23 ...

So to say he hasn’t been planning for the future is just complete nonsense and narrow minded thinking. It gets tiresome to read post after post. It’s time to open up your mind to a bigger picture. Tell me how he's planned for the future at QB to this point? You dance on the line of disrespectful po...

It's almost like they assumed they could just keep adding on short term to keep Cousins around while kicking the replacement can down the road, only Cousins apparently no longer was interested in the shorter term deals he seemed to prefer when he was a younger man with more road in front of him. I ...

I guess my whole argument is on the assumption that KOC and McCown (not KAM) are good at evaluating QB's and have a guy they think fits their system with flaws they deem fixable. This is the first time KOC (a supposed QB whisperer) has been able to hand pick his QB and I just want KAM to do that fo...
