PFF mock draft has us taking 2 QBs and realistically why not? Maye drops to 9 and we take him after a trade with the Bears. Then we take Penix early in the 2nd pick 34. We trade pick 23 to get into 2nd and 3rd round. A comment was... make it the Nix draft. Penix and Nix. That would put some energy ...

My take is I’m ok with whatever the Vikings decide to do. I like the idea of getting one of the top 3 but also am ok with Penix at 11. That's fair. You hope that they have been scouting these guys for a few years and have already identified the guy they want. None of us know who's at the top of the...

It seems like a lot of parity for the “top 6” QBs. To move to the top 5 picks, we are looking at both 1rd’ers this year and next year’s 1st. I don’t know how to do a poll, but it feels like most people are saying sit and pick at 11 whether it be Penix, JJM, or Nix. As opposed to selling the farm fo...

This draft mock is finally coming back down to earth. We take JJM at 11 which is a surprise and Chop at 23. Only 2 QBs go top 5. The way it started before the media... Caleb, Maye. Nix and Penix not in round 1. Giants no QB but Alt who's a stud. The top edge guys are gone 7,8 which is no surprise b...

I don’t understand the contract stuff. Can it not be renegotiated/reorganized/renamed or allow the Vikings to absorb some of that? Ya know how teams will give players the same money, but call half of it a “bonus” or something so it doesn’t hit the cap, or shift the cost down the line over several y...

I've been telling people that Maye will slide and nobody wants to believe me. I don't think anything can be done regarding the cap hit. I believe you. After watching his highlights nothing jumps out. The kid from SD State looks better to me and he won't get drafted. Of course this is a 10 cent eval...

As much as I like Daniels please don't do that. 4 first round picks could be a couple hall of famers we miss out on. Based on the offense we run I don't see Daniels as the pick. I see Maye or JJ. Didn’t the Vikings try to trade up to draft Richardson last year? Wouldn’t the closest guy to that be D...

I’ll give you that, comparing players from different generations is impossible, there’s been too many rule changes etc. One thing I will stand by is Jj is playing better athletes. Back in Moss’s day a 4.3 meant you were top 5 faster player in the league. Nowadays some Lbs almost run 4.3s, different...

Or, how about not reach even at 11 for a QB and just take the BPA there. Let's even say for a second that the team is now so rich at DE that they decide to go with a CB like Terrion Arnold. That is also a win. Arnold is going to be a very good pro corner, and the Vikings defense could really use an...

That’s true a franchise qb tops all, however I believe trading known commodity’s for potential isn’t something a numbers guy is going to do. Sure he might waste other draft picks which have the potential for return but something with a known value like jj has is different imo. To be fair JJ has bee...

If they were going to do that they would have traded jj to the bengals for two first and Higgins and used the 4 1st to trade up with also keeping a number 1 wr in Higgins. Jj is more than a great player here he’s our main ticket seller, jersey seller. The new younger generation of Vikings fan have ...

I don't blame them for moving up for their guy, but let's say for the sake of argument that they could pick any QB in this year's draft. Is JJ McCarthy that guy? Or is he the best of what's left since they don't have that option? Is the best of what's left worth trading two first rounders to move u...

A lot of video here of McCarthy missing throws at the combine (and a trade). https://www.nfl.com/news/daniel-jeremiah-2024-nfl-mock-draft-3-0 Definitely wouldn’t say that’s a lot. Most of his misses came on timing routes and a lot of balls were still catchable. He definitely doesn’t have a weak arm...

https://youtu.be/I621PS3WS50?si=8JuGLL97RUxl3rPb I’m not a scout but I’ve watched a bit of tape on the top 4 QBs. Williams would be amazing but even if Chicago doesn’t take him they ain’t trading in division. If we trade into the 2nd like I hear some rumours I prefer Daniels, however apparently Vik...

New prediction: 1)Washington trades up to #1 for Williams. 2)Bears trade #2 to highest bidder (not us). 3) We trade JJ to Chargers for #5 (no more Williams, Allen, or Ekeler). 4) If our QB is there at 5, we take him. Otherwise we take Harrison or BPA. 5) BPA at 11. 6) We trade up slightly from 23 t...
