How about if they offer up some 2023 capital? That's when I'd really want some picks to take a swing on a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the new GM is going to be handcuffed with Cousins (and other contracts), and the new coach will need a year to get a good grip on the team, it makes sense to try to get as much 2023 capitol as possible. This is not going to be a 1-year resurgence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in no way am I moving from this high of a pick without comp this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battle2heaven Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 While I like Matt Corral, I also like Sam Howell and personally don't see a giant difference between these two QBs. I think the people who are saying this is not the year to draft a top in the top third of the draft are correct. But fortunately, DB talent is there and DE talent is there.

SteelKing728 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 We probably won't get any comp picks this year. What about in 2023 though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) 2022 draft should all be about BPA - It's hard to gauge where our strengths and weaknesses are when we're going to implementing new schemes on both sides of the ball. If an elite talent falls to the 12th pick we take them. I don't care if it's OL, DL, WR, DB, LB or even QB. Give our new coach talent for the next 3-5 years, Edited January 13, 2022 by viking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would take both of those guys over him, and maybe he is this great athlete but what happens when he runs a 4.9 40? There's nothing to suggest that Karlaftis is going to test so poorly, so you're just being obtuse intentionally there. Leal and Karlaftis aren't even the same position. Leal is more of a DT/DE tweener. He's someone you play on the EDGE in early downs, but kick inside on obvious passing downs. Don't think there's much ability to stand up and play as a 3-4 OLB by any means. Honestly, don't see anything special about Walker. Seems like a late Day 1, early Day 2 pick, but nothing that says he's going to be a EDGE1 for any team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikeManDan Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Definitely some nice defensive talent to choose from. I'd probably be happy with most of these players before any of the Senior Bowl and/or combine results are known. DL: George Karlaftis, Jordan Davis, David Ojabo (prefer to avoid DL if Hunter, Pierce, and Tomlinson return - plenty of promising depth on roster as well. Would understand the selection though given moves prior to draft.) LB: Devin Lloyd and Nakobe Dean. CB: Derrick Stingley, Sauce Gardner, and Andrew Booth Jr. (Hopefully 1 is available when Vikings are OTC.) Elam and McCreary as well. S: Kyle Hamilton (I imagine he'd be a no-brainer pick if he's there.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, complete no brainer and another Domer to pass the torch too after Harrison Smith hangs them up. It essentially the perfect storyline and perfect fit....so that's why he won't be available lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battle2heaven Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Is 12 too early for Nakobe Dean? The dude is an animal and always all over the field making impact plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
