If one is there at #14, we might not see a future 1st being part of a return package, unless it's from a playoff team (with low 1st to start) or a team without a current 1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have kept what was comfortable in Smith. You absolutely can’t refuse a QB if one of those two grade out as franchise caliber QBs. Doesn’t matter what the other needs are, nothing comes close to the long term outlook of QB and Cousins isn’t it with that cap hit. 100% If you don't have a legit franchise QB, taking what you feel grades out to being your next franchise QB should be rightfully prioritized over all other "holes/needs". I would say a teams chance of winning, any given Sunday, is determined ~40% by QB play alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk is a expensive non franchise QB that price tag will only continue to rise in 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or over a DE or DT that would be good, if not great? How do you propose fixing the roster, with no 2nd, then? Drafting on need is why we ended up with up with Anthony Barr instead of Aaron Donald. Thielen isn't going to last many more years so if a Ja'Marr Chase or a DeVonta Smith I wouldn't love it but I definitely wouldn't hate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barr and Donald were in the same tier...most of us thought that Barr was going to be more of a 3-4 OLB though than what he is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he thinks he can go top 10 next year? Speaking of WRs, I think there will be some nice receivers available in the middle rounds and we desperately need a solid #3 WR. I like Seth Williams, Dyami Brown and Jonathan Adams. I think Adams would be a great fit because he is great at stretching the field, high pointing the ball and catching away from his body. Also he might be the best blocking WR in the draft. Jonathan Adams in round 4. You heard it here first. 🙏🏼 I like Seth Williams too but think he goes before we are ready to pick a WR. Priority of WR3 competition may depend on our new OC but I think they try keep the same system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's a team game, not a matchup of individuals like the NBA. Would you take a WR over a starting DL or OL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the closest to a sure thing regardless of needs and fill out these in the later rounds. If that's Tucker then great you've filled a need. Theilen is 30 years old so if a JaMarr Chase falls and the linemen the Vikings were looking at have been taken yeah I'll wouldn't hate it if the Vikings take another possible good WR.

How many people criticized the Jefferson pick because it wasn’t OL? Would you rather have Jefferson? Or would you rather have Cesar Ruiz, or Isaiah Wilson?

Bryan Bulaga's AAV was $10M and he's a projected 5th round compensatory pick, Kendall Fuller and Jamie Collins were both $10M AAV as well but they're 4th round picks. EDIT: Either that group moves to the 5th together, or they're all 4ths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Either that group moves to the 5th together, or they're all 4ths. There is more to it than average value. It is revealed now as it was spelled out in the most recent CBA. See Appendix V. https://nflpaweb.blob.core.windows.net/website/PDFs/CBA/March-15-2020-NFL-NFLPA-Collective-Bargaining-Agreement-Final-Executed-Copy.pdf In particular: Quote (b) All players shall be assigned additional points based on honors or participation, as follows: (1) Selected 1st Team ALL NFL by PFWA or 1st Team ALL PRO by AP: 20 points. (2) Selected All Conference by PFWA (except if selected ALL NFL or ALL PRO above): 5 points. (3) One point for each percent of the total offensive/defensive plays in which the player participated (excluding special teams) provided that the player participated in a minimum of 25% of the offensive/ defensive plays (excluding special teams). For example: 67% participation equals 67 points, 0% to 24.99% participation equals no points. Exception: in the case of punters and place-kickers, 1 point will be awarded for each punt attempted and 1 point for each punt inside the 20-yard line during the regular season for the punters, and 2 points for each field goal attempted and 1 point for each field goal made during the regular season for place-kickers. (c) The sum of the numerical values in (a) and (b) above shall represent each player’s Final Numerical Value. (d) Each CFA’s Final Numerical Value shall be measured in percentile terms against all players’ Final Numerical Values to determine the position of a Club’s Compensatory Draft Selection, if any.
