But I wouldn’t be opposed to a deal that involved the 1st round pick. What’s your ideal trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be 23 for Lance and additional compensation. Or, like you said, 87 for Lance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If draft compensation needed to come from this year’s draft, my ideal trade? Sending 87 to SF. But I think a trade like what Bill Barnwell came up with for ESPN is far more realistic. If I could make a trade in June that would involve sending Cousins to SF in exchange for Lance and some 2024 draft compensation, I’d much rather do that.

This year could be a little interesting also with the amount of fake accounts coming out with a lot less of those blue check marks floating around on Twitter. Let’s not ruin the excitement on the forum by leaking a few picks early. Blue checkmarks on Twitter literally means nothing considering you can pay per month for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Elon for you. Can't do anything except screw things up. It's probably his fault that the starship blew up yesterday...oh, excuse me, had an "unplanned disassembly". 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminalMind Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 After the draft and after June 1st: Kirk Cousins + 2024 3rd round pick for Lance + 2024 1st round pick This would result in dead cap hits of $10.25M (2023) and $28.5M (2024). The 2023 figure would be managable with a combination of moves like trading Cook (in the 2023 draft) or cutting him subsequent to the draft and restructuring Brian O'neil.

The 2023 figure would be managable with a combination of moves like trading Cook (in the 2023 draft) or cutting him subsequent to the draft and restructuring Brian O'neil. If Cousins is traded after June 1st, it creates $10M in cap space for the Vikings in 2023. There wouldn’t need to be any moves that would need to be made.

KeithVikings28 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I’m anti anything trading Kirk Cousins. We need that stability for the team until someone else proves to be comparable as a starting QB. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 For hypothetical discussion purposes, if you knew that the Vikings and 49ers were going to make a trade in June involving Cousins, Lance, and 2024 draft picks, how would that affect your 2023 draft strategy? Would you be more inclined to add an offensive weapon? Are you more inclined to add to the defense? Or does your draft plan remain the same?

I think they need to add talent, period. I feel like that’s probably more important on Defense, but I’d also want Lance to have the best weapons to succeed. So, in short, BPA for me (except TE, RB and OT). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are enough offensive weapons currently on roster. What I do think would happen is, if they knew at the time, that they would be far more likely to take Bijan Robinson if he were available. That would be the only offensive weapon I'd consider at #23 in that scenario, as he would take the heat off of Lance with the inevitable departure of Cook. Otherwise, that's the only change I'd consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as how swapping Cousins for Lance would create a similar amount of cap space as trading/releasing Cook, would you be more inclined to keep Cook?

More offensive weapons especially at #23 ... because your going to have one year to evaluate Lance. Does he do well and you start looking an extension talks, or does he look bad (contributing to a low win total and better draft slot), and now your in better position to draft 2024 QB. Capping the defensive improvement in 2023, might have the affect of keep Brian Flores around for two seasons (where there could be a better defensive rating jump in 2024).
