NorthCountryEvo Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Since QB talk is in here... out of the 31 other teams, which teams can we reasonably expect to go after a QB in the draft in the first 3 rounds? How many teams will fill their void with a free agent or retain their current starter? I could see any of the below being options, though there are probably a few more who might be more "dark horse" candidates, and by round 3 I think the window for other teams open up dramatically. Carolina PanthersChicago BearsCincinnati BengalsDetroit LionsIndianapolis ColtsJacksonville JaguarsLos Angeles ChargersMiami DolphinsNew England PatriotsNew Orleans SaintsOakland RaidersPittsburgh SteelersTampa Bay Buccaneers By the 3rd i'd be willing to take a shot on Eason, Fromm, Love, or Hurts. Eason's arm has always caught my eye, but his accuracy and decision making is still iffy. I like Fromm, but I don't think he will be anything but a bland QB in the NFL at best, and I don't know if that cuts the cake in the end. If Tua started to fall in the 2nd, i'd be willing to make a move for him: very talented, and he'd have a year to sit, recover, and learn.

Vikes22 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 What about Cole McDonald ( QB) from Hawaii? He came out early and I think he could be the hidden gem this year. 6’4” , 220 lbs. Has a big arm and can run if he has too. Of course, he would sit and learn for a year. But I think with the right coaches, he could become a really good QB. I actually read an article where he is getting compared to Patrick Mahomes... very interesting.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Bredeson, Cesar Ruiz, and Michael Onwenu. I'm starting to get more and more intrigued by this guy. https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/2020-eastwest-shrine-bowl-day-3-recap--east-drills PASS RUSH 1 VS. 1S - MICHIGAN OG MICHAEL ONWENU If there was one interior lineman on the East roster that wasn't outmatched, it would be Michael Onwenu, who continues to be one of the biggest winners of the week. His anchor ability was evident watching him challenge rushers in the one on ones — he recruits his lower body power so well and shows pleasantly nimble feet to keep his base established when fighting off contact. Pair that anchor ability with his 34 1/2 inch arms and Onwenu is a rare consistent winner in the pass rush 1 vs. 1s at an All-Star event.

Those are both astronomical numbers. Onwenu has a squattier build without a huge stride length, so I understand why he played on the interior, but the East team defensive tackles surely wish he was on the outside. Onwenu is stonewalling folks in one-on-ones; with a defensive line background, he is willing to get aggressive in the trenches with jump sets and early punches to initiate contact and generate immediate displacement. He's likely the best offensive lineman here on either team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this desperate TE class and how TE usage around the league is going up.... he could go day 2. Testing numbers will play a big part.

VIKINGS101011 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I also have a hard time seeing Rick/Zimmer drafting a QB early unfortunately. For me, If Tua were to drop to around 10ish (seems unlikely right now) I would try to trade up for him, otherwise I wouldn't mind moving up a little bit to take a chance on Jordan Love.

Love is still the guy I'd move up for...while he's certainly fairly raw, he has the skill-set that translates very well to today's game. Let him sit and learn for a year and then roll him out in 2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others may or may not depending upon their evaluations. And some of them may not even be guaranteed to take them in the 1st round. They may want to pull a Drew Brees scenario and draft some other position in the first round and then take their QB early in the 2nd.

gopherwrestler Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 T’ua starts making the big fall, sliding 20,21,22,23. now the most Vikings thing ever happens. we beat the Saints in a game that gives them their new franchise QB. The Saints select T’ua T. Quarterback, Alabama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
