Re: 2024 NFL Draft

Interesting take. Chargers trading for JJ at 5. I would expect a 1st and 2nd this year and a 2nd next year. Interesting.... I love todays trade. This just shows that this GM is all in on getting a SB before I die. We have over $100m in FA in 2025. Get your guy, QB, in this draft. Have him for 5 yea...

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 What franchise QBs taken in the last 20 drafts would merit the type of trade yo...

Re: 2024 Free Agents

I'd frame it this way, it isn't "a franchise qb". It's the opportunity to try and swing for one. Absolutely no guarantee. They miss and I suspect most fans would be livid in that scenario. And they lose their jobs. It's about how confident THEY are if they think they can get a franchise q...

Re: 2024 Free Agents

There's no way they drop 4 1st rounders. Agree. Giving Cousins the deal Atlanta gave him would be far cheaper than giving up essentially the future of the franchise for a wild swing at a QB in this year's draft. If the Vikings were to do the above even to get Caleb Williams KAM should be fired and ...

Re: 2024 Free Agents

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 staff and drafting and signing FA players that fit those systems are far more importan...

Re: 2024 Free Agents

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

Or include JJ and a combination of picks. That's an interesting proposal. IMO now is the perfect time to move on from JJ. He is never going to be worth more than he is right now. And it will free up even more cap space going forward to sign more young FA talent while your franchise guy is on a rook...

Re: 2024 Free Agents

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 signed Mariota to a 1 year deal and it seems to me they're planning to groom a QB behind him. NE traded away Mac Jone...

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. 100% agree. Clearing out the books and doing it right! Finally it appears they have some competent leadership. Team Building in Todays NFL starts with a QB, Priority 1!. Period! Coach...

Re: Our New GM- Kwesi Adofo-Mensah

I'd also like to add this. Every one of us wants a Vikings team that wins the division and competes for the big prize. We want it every year. But I'll throw in this word of caution. If you believe being a contender is a realistic standard for the new regime in 2022, you are very, very likely to be ...

Re: A new GM on the horizon

I don't think you can get any farther away from Zimmer's brand of football than the kind this new GM represents. If it goes down in flames I'm happy just seeing the Wilves trying something new. Totally agree. I never get too fired up one way or the other with these hires as I know NOTHING about bei...

Re: A new GM on the horizon

I guess I don't see the situation In Minnesota as appealing to a GM candidate as most on here. The Defense is in shambles. Its in as bad of shape as when Zimmer took over 8 years ago, maybe worse. Who do they even have to build around?? They need pieces everywhere on D. On top of that, new coach, n...

Re: Rick and Zimmer both gone

Heard they are looking at Peter Najarian for GM. Intriguing choice... I hadn't considered someone like that as a GM but the more I look at it, the more interesting it is. He's got both a football background as well as an analytics background. Interesting merger of experience, skills and knowledge t...
