Vikings Message Board.Com

I have to say again how stunned I am that the Vikings drafted Dallas Turner at all, much less where they did. There is no reason this guy should have still been on the board past the 10th pick, and there were scenarios where I thought if both Turner and one of the top QBs were both available at 11 I...

McCarthy almost seemed fated to go to the Vikings. Once he made it past the Giants at 6 I was almost certain he'd end up in Minnesota. Of course, nobody expected the Falcons to nab Penix so I was thinking the Vikings would have their selection of Penix, McCarthy or Nix at that point, but I still th...

Happy with JJ and Dallas, but now the draft is pretty much over for the Vikings... One 4th rounder plus 2 x 6th and 2 x 7th is all we have left. Yeah, but it's worth it. McCarthy and Turner should be difference makers. Later picks are usually just bodies. It's all about impact. Witness KAM's first ...

I'm wondering if Cousins rehab has been going well, or if they have worries he might have set backs. Anyway it was refreshing to have a GM move up to get what could be as some have said the best defensive player in the draft and a potential all pro for years to come . Reports indicate that Cousins ...

I can't recall a single pre-draft mock that had Turner falling out of the top 10. When I saw he was still on the board after pick 15 I was thinking could he fall to 23? And then when the Vikings moved up I was sure it was for Turner. In KAM's first draft he moved down, passing up some objectively go...

But the Packers took Love at 26. Atlanta could've taken a true impact player at 8. Instead they took a guy who, even if he pans out, won't start a game until he's 26 years old unless Kirk gets hurt again. Also, you guaranteed $100 million to Cousins. Why wouldn't you put players around him who coul...

Haven't seen one of the big names report it yet. Early chatter on twitter is: #23 2024 5th (this year) 2025 3rd 2025 4th to get the #17 this year :shock: Turner is a top 10 talent and exactly the type of player Flores will maximize, so while they gave up quite a bit to get him I'm ecstatic they got...

11) QB Bo Nix 23) CB Cooper DeJean Bo is definitely not getting the love from the draft prognosticators. In a lot of the last-second mocks I've looked at he's not even in the first round. This despite a literal feeding frenzy at the QB position early. Last item of note as we head into the 1st round...

Will the RGIII debacle in Washington cause them to shy away from any running QB and go with a pocket guy? Could they pick Mccarthy? That is high for McCarthy based on what is known about him. That would be a real leap of faith to spend the 2nd pick in the draft on the QB with arguably the biggest q...

Where did you read or hear that?

That doesn't sound like something a good GM would say.

Modifying this as follows: Vikings trade 11 and 23 plus their 2025 1st rounder to the Cardinals for #4 where they will take JJ McCarthy. I'm still predicting the first three picks this year will be Williams to the Bears at #1, Maye to the Commanders at #2, and Daniels to the Patriots at #3. Great, ...

Bottom line money is always a factor. If you have a skill get the most you can from that skill. I've seen that my entire working life in IT. People would come and go in a snap of the finger. Of course IT don't pay what a highly skilled NFL QB can get. Get it while you can. I'm not begrudging anyone...
