The Vikings haven't been able to get a deal done to move up into the top 3 in the past and I wouldn't be shocked if that trend continued. I don't know enough about college ball to give much on particular players but I think if the Vikings trade up it's going to end up being #5 as the Cardinals decli...

Except its way lower risk than that. It's more like trading in three $10 lottery scratch offs for one $20 scratch off. Your odds are a little bit better if you stick with three tries, but you can win bigger prizes with the higher paying card. Whatever you choose, it's still the lottery. None of the...

Great post. The way I see it is taking all of your life's savings and investing into lottery tickets. If you "hit" nobody will care how much it cost. Man do I hate that saying. We could stand pat at 11 and hit and then possibly draft a hall of famer at another couple of positions. Except ...

Bill Barnwell at ESPN posted this idea today (noting that he has no idea if the Vikes or JJ want a trade): Patriots get: WR Justin Jefferson, #1-23 Vikings get: #1-3 Supposedly this values JJ as the #7 pick in the draft. Vikes keep #1-11. Draft Maye or whoever at #1-3 and then best WR at #1-11 or t...

That's why I want them to try something new. Not waiting and hoping whoever they want falls or whoever falls will work out. Not hoping you can coach up some 3rd or 4th rounder behind a free agent QB. Actually target a QB that fits your offense and do everything you can to get them. They have not tr...

No strategy has panned out for our team no matter what the approach has been. We are the Bears when it comes to selecting a QB. This current class appears to be much deeper than the normal class. That is from the early round projections down to the lower projections. I started this off with thinkin...

Nothing is wrong with Levis in hindsight. In the 2023 draft every NFL team agreed the 1st round was too high for him. My guess is the staff thought he was a significant reach in the 1st or maybe didn't want him at all. They couldn't move up for a "top tier" option and decided not to pull ...

I keep seeing people write this, but how? In 2022 a QB wasn't picked until #20 (Kenny Pickett). The next wasn't selected until the 3rd. It wasn't a good draft to pick a QB. In 2023 they tried to trade up for a QB, reportedly offering multiple 1sts to do so. They couldn't get a partner. They could h...

I do feel Kam should have drafted someone before we arrived in the position we are in now. I keep seeing people write this, but how? In 2022 a QB wasn't picked until #20 (Kenny Pickett).

I’m aware there’s a salary cap. But the weight of the QB position dictates that you may have to sacrifice in other areas. You don’t skimp at QB. Darnold is skimping. You know why this year’s draft is so exciting? Cause it’s all we have. Ah, The Kirk Cousins Effect is in full force. He’s not even a ...

I messed up the structure of my last post. Not very good with technology. And I’m only 35! It's not really "technology", it's just a tag system. Image links go between an image tag, quotes go between a quote tag, to bold text it goes between the bold tag, etc. It's pretty simple but I cou...

You'd pay Cousins 180m over 4 years and only start him 1 or 2 years? I would have been happy if Cousins’ last Vikings extension was longer, and would have been cheaper at that time. Now IF Kwesi had brought in some real potential simmering behind Cousins for the last 2 years… that would be a differ...

Kwesi should’ve protected the present AND future simultaneously, but he didn’t. Could’ve had Maye/Penix sitting behind Cousins for a year or 2 and developing in to a dynasty level QB.
