How about the kid from Alabama?

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...

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...

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...

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...

Holy cow! Turner looks peeved he had to wait that long - I love it!

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.

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...

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 ...

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 ...

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...

Bill Barnwell at ESPN posted this idea today (noting that he has no idea if the Vikes or JJ want a trade): Patriots get: WR Justin Jefferson, #1-23 Vikings get: #1-3 Supposedly this values JJ as the #7 pick in the draft. Vikes keep #1-11. Draft Maye or whoever at #1-3 and then best WR at #1-11 or tr...

It's almost like they assumed they could just keep adding on short term to keep Cousins around while kicking the replacement can down the road, only Cousins apparently no longer was interested in the shorter term deals he seemed to prefer when he was a younger man with more road in front of him. I ...

Thought I'd chime in, have not been around in awhile. I've read most comments in most threads regarding draft. Lots of talk of "if they've identified 'their guy'" among the QB's. I'm sure they have them in their order, and also have ranked scores on each. "Their guy" is probably ...

As a former high school and college (lacrosse) coach, I can tell you that the coaching staff already has a grip on what they think "Hall can do out there". They've had dozens and dozens of practices and a little game tape. Assuming Hall is completely healthy: If they trot out Mullens the r...
