PFF's Final mock: 11. MINNESOTA VIKINGS: QB J.J. MCCARTHY, MICHIGAN After all that talk of the Vikings giving up the kingdom for a quarterback, they pick an ideal player to develop here at No. 11. 30. *TRADE* MINNESOTA VIKINGS: DI BRADEN FISKE, FLORIDA STATE Fiske has taken a lot of top-30 visits th...

Less than an hour away right? No news is good news. The longer it takes for the first trade to happen the better for our Vikings. Oops it was 2 hours away.

Latest draft significant news for the Vikings is a report that the Giants are pushing hard for pick 3 to draft Maye and the Rams are trying to trade into the top 10 to not take a QB.

Sounds great. I have been dreading this draft like a prisoner on death row awaiting his execution. I'm now allowing my positive side to come out and predict we get McCarthy in a trade up from 11 to 8 and I'd be just fine with that.

I'd love that one.

This made me laugh out loud.

Hey I finally figured out a use for it.

I've got a University of Michigan Polo shirt that my wife mistakenly bought me thinking it was Minnesota. I'm going to be wearing it in anticipation of us drafting JJ McCarthy hopefully at 8 or later.

Reports are he's trying to trade up while holding on to pick 23. Kwesi never said it and it certainly isn't untouchable. Char heard wrong. I turned hold on to untouchable. I heard or read it but my interpretation had an anti Kewsi spin on it. Feelings for a person will sometimes lead to miss interp...

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...

Great, now I’m nauseas. :lol: Honestly, this draft will show us if KAM is all bark and no bite IMHO. If he's just another Spielman or does he bring any real insight to the GM position. Does he make the obvious, desperate moves or does he understand how to play the system like a fine-tuned instrumen...

Where did you read or hear that?

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

Hell yeah. Not much difference between QBs 3-6 anyway. Why give up huge assets like first round picks.

1. Williams 2. Daniels 3. Maye 4. Harrison Jr 5. Alt 6. Nabers 7. Fuaga 8. McCarthy 9. Odunze 10. Bowers 11. Turner 12. Nix 13. Penix 14. Q Mitchell 15. Verse 16. Murphy II 17. Latham 18. Arnold 19. DeJean 20. KoolAid 21. J Newton 22. Wiggins 23. Latu 24. Fashanu 25. Fautanu 26. Chop Robinson 27. Mi...

I would not be excited at all about the next Love or Purdy. Keep your chin up. I just read that if the Pats won't take the farm for pick 3 we will stick and take Nix. I would certainly want him over Penix. Although I do think Penix will be the pick. I wouldn't do that unless it was a day 3 pick. We...

In about 24 hours I'm prepared to hear the words I don't want to hear. "We have a trade. The New England Patriots have sent the #3 pick to the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota is on the clock." For some strange reason they never announce the compensation for the pick. I highly doubt you will ...
