Re: 2024 NFL Draft

The contrast between the media evaluation of players, which is known to us, and the team's internal evaluations, which are not known to us, drive most of the passionate opinions come draft day. A GM can make all the right decisions and the outcome still be terrible. This is because so much depends o...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

I'm not sure how savvy KAM might be. But, NFL execs/GMs/coaches definitely have more intel than us folks. Is it possible the trade up for pick 23 is for a QB at 23? They know they're not getting Williams & maybe KOC doesn't see one of the remaining five of those six QBs as being a substantially...

I still think 11 is way too high for Nix even though I think he's a good choice there, but QB inflation being what it is I wouldn't be terribly upset if KAM takes him there.
I truly doubt Nix makes it past 3-4.

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

Williams, Daniel's, Nix and McCarthy are probably the first four picks. Maye also gone before 11. Penix I think would be there at 11 or 23.

Re: 2024 Free Agents

I see it differently Char... Maybe at 11, Could they be trading back and landing multiple picks? I have to believe that they have done their homework and have a few avenues in place. Greenard and Van Ginkel are immediately starting on the edges. Greenard is less $ than Hunter, is here for 4 years, ...

Re: 2024 Free Agents

The game has changed. It might as well be called QB ball, not football. A great QB is worth more to a team than all the rest of their players combined. Gotcha! I don't agree. Game favors passing offense now, absolutely. Still think the trenches are the most important. I follow your logic if that's ...

Re: 2024 Free Agents

I guess I don’t follow that train of thought. If you look back at the Vikings last 20 first and second rounders. Pick the best 6 and then tell me you wouldn’t give them up to have a franchise QB for the next 10-15 years Personally, I am in the fandom of this team for a championship and/or a dynasty...

Re: 2024 Free Agents

Expect this year's 1st round selection to be the last 1st round selection the vikings will have until 2027 or 2028. I understand the hesitation, but the Vikings are competing for exactly bupkis over the next several years on their current trajectory. they can keep their assets and tank away this sea...

Re: 2024 Free Agents

What would the Vikings be giving up ALLLLLLLLLL of that for? :shock: :shock: :shock: Are 1st and 2nd rounders really that valuable if you don’t have the Priority 1 missing piece to the puzzle? Quality coaching, tenure of said coaching staff, continuity in the system’s put in place by the coaching s...

That's the challenge. 2024 1st 2024 2nd 2025 1st 2025 2nd 2026 1st 2027 1st Probably take something like that. Or one of those teams liking a qb likely available at 11 and still able to collect a haul to drop down. What would the Vikings be giving up ALLLLLLLLLL of that for? :shock: :shock: :shock:...

Re: 2024 Free Agents

Expect this year's 1st round selection to be the last 1st round selection the vikings will have until 2027 or 2028. I wish that were true but I don't think so. Not because they won't try, but because they won't have a partner. Bears probably wouldn't trade to the Vikings to begin with. Commanders s...
