Re: Draft Day Discussion

In the end, the Vikings sent their second-, fifth- and sixth-round picks in 2024 and their second-, third- and fourth-round picks in 2025 to add Turner. Every time I read one of these it seems these guys NEVER get the trades correct when analyzing. He missed the 7th rd pick we received from HOU and...

Re: Draft Day Discussion

Read a bunch of interesting stuff today. In order of "voracity": After taking Penix, ATL contacted Jets and wanted to get back to the #10 pick and take Laiatu. Jets have it recorded actually, so it would appear legit. I don't know what the unwritten protocol is when calling a team for thei...

Re: Draft Day Discussion

I know this is post-draft and not draft day, but since it's slow and this thread is active I thought I'd post this here: They were then unwilling to move up more than one selection for J.J. McCarthy. That was at least correct because McCarthy is the same sort of caliber of prospect as Mac Jones Som...

Re: Draft Day Discussion

General comments on KAM's performance in this year's draft: Don’t disagree with much if anything you stated. I’d add that we did decimate next year’s # of draft selections by going on this “spending spree”. I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing, and I’d assume KAM has some idea what he’ll do...

How about the kid from Alabama?

Re: Draft Day Discussion

It's insane. The Falcons could've taken Rome Odunze and given Kirk a serious weapon. They could've taken Dallas Turner and upgraded the defense by miles. Instead ... they took Kirk's replacement! Is it possible Atlanta has buyer's remorse before Cousins ever takes a snap? It's planning for the futu...

Re: Draft Day Discussion

I was a big fan of the overall strategy. I agree, my only caveat is that typically that strategy is married with a "this was a top heavy draft" kind of statement or sentiment, but all indications I've seen is that this is one of the deepest drafts (outside of edge rusher, which makes gett...

Re: Draft Day Discussion

What a first round. KOC got his quarterback … AND Flores got his game-wrecking edge. I don’t give a damn about value charts. Kwesi killed it. Exactly. Most of the Mock Draft world had the Vikings moving up and giving the 11th, 23rd, and next year's 1st to get him. Instead they just have to burn a 4...

Re: Draft Day Discussion

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: I think our FO is figuring on the compensatory picks we'll gain next year. And maybe very low probability we'll get some comp for Kirk's ATL tamp...

Re: Draft Day Discussion

All the QB's,WR's and OT's selected so far are doing great things for our #23 pick. We are going to get a real potential stud anywhere on D or even at C.

Re: 1st Round Final Prediction

What I want to happen: We stick at #11 and pick best available QB. We trade UP from #23 to #18 (CIN) or #19 (Rams) and take either CB Mitchell or Arnold (this is assuming one is still available at that point, I assume DeJean will be gone). What I think will happen: We trade #11 and next year’s #1 an...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

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 :D 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 ...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

Just a post about all the banter about this draft class of QB's (here and throughout fan bases), combined with (here) a pretty thorough examination of our "misses" at QB over recent history. We all want our GM to be able to (with a reasonable sample size, i.e., over a few drafts) pick THE ...

Re: 2024 NFL Draft

OK, so your main criticism of my post is that just because nothing was done at the QB position over the last few years to fill in behind Cousins doesn't mean KAM and KOC didn't try to do something? I'll grant you I don't know what was or wasn't done to rectify that situation, but can we at least bo...
