Morlee Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I’m hoping all that Lance traded to the Vikings during the draft steam is just that — steam/meaningless rumors. Rather just extend Cousins if that’s what is on the table. As for the actual draft, I see us trading up a couple spots and taking Joey Porter Jr. or Brian Breese. I don’t see them both falling to #23 at all. Would be shocked if we found a way to get into the Top 10 for a QB. Wouldn’t be mad, just can’t see that happening.

He just doesn't sound like a guy that Josh McDaniels would be interested in. He already blew it with a guy like Tebow, I think he'll look for a different type of QB. That's true. Richardson probably isn't the player to draft if you are on the hot seat. I don't know if he is it at all but he probably is feeling the pressure to get some immediate results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimdallr Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I've never seen him play, but is Bryce Young really the top QB? A tiny QB from Alabama? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if he is it at all but he probably is feeling the pressure to get some immediate results It wouldn’t make sense to draft an inaccurate QB who is not NFL ready, when we have so many other positions of need. I know for sure that Justin Jefferson will hate to have a QB who is inaccurate. So if for some odd reason, we do draft Anthony Richardson, we can say goodbye to the best WR in football. However I believe Kwesi and O’Connell are smarter than that and I think these are just smoke screens before the draft.

When the draft isn't really strong at the positions you truly need, then yes it makes sense, especially when looking at the long-term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamsterdam Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 If you're continually basing your draft on how can my team be better this year than you probably won't be a GM for long. That's what free agency is for. The draft should be treated as how can I make my team better 2,3,4,5 years from now. You need to have a long view. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This draft is actually deep at CB, DI, Edge, LB and WR. Those also happen to be all of our biggest needs. I don’t know about y’all but I would truly hate it if we don’t draft a defensive player in the first round, when we had one of the worst defenses last year and haven’t don’t much in free agency to fix it.

I’m still convinced that the Panthers want Stroud, the Texans want Young, the Colts want Levis, and a team will trade up to 3 for Richardson.

vikesfan89 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I'm all in on trading up for Stroud or Richardson if 1 falls a little bit. If not attempt to trade back. Unfortunately I won't be around for much of the chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kparty15 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) These are the guys that I want with our first pick.
