"Kwesi's an idiot!" "the Vikings are losers!" then Richardson falls in our laps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrplChilPill Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 If Richardson fell all that far, I'd be utterly amazed. And thrilled. Four QBs will go in the top six picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four QBs will go in the top six picks. I'd actually be surprised to see 4 QBs going in the top 6 any longer. I just don't think there are that many that are enthralled with the QBs. We'll see though. I think someone is going to fall, whether it be Levis, Richardson or Stroud, someone will...it's just a question of which one. Fields was largely projected to go top 3 2 yrs ago, ahead of Lance and Wilson...and it didn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the "if your team is awful and doesn't have a QB, take the best one out there every year" camp....But I get teams aren't that way for some reason.

Well, the Rams did win one recently with a Kirk Cousins-ish QB...and we're 6-yrs removed from Nick Foles winning it at US Bank. It's rare, but it still happens. Now, whether you can consistently be in the conversation, that's a whole different question. The Chiefs will always be in the conversation with Mahomes, even when Kelce retires (which won't be much longer since he turns 34 yrs old during the coming season). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could go the SF route, and build the best D and lots of fast WR/RB types.....if Purdy is healthy, they might win w/o an elite QB (or maybe he is one?).....but that's pretty rare also (which was how the Rams won). So, ya, Ever was the wrong word! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this also gets skewed by the Tom Brady effect. Brady beat Jake Delhomme (undrafted), Kurt Warner (undrafted), Donovan McNabb, Russell Wilson (third round), Matt Ryan and Jared Goff. Without Brady (a sixth round pick himself), the list of non-1st round QB's to win Super Bowls would likely be a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Vikings Receive: 35th Overall, 79th Overall and 106th Overall Colts Receive: 23rd Overall and 211th Overall 35. South Carolina CB Cam Smith The Vikings have moved back but still managed to acquire one of the top corners in the NFL draft. Smith is a true outside cornerback that fits the defense the Vikings are implementing. He plays with patience, physicality, and swagger, making him an ideal candidate. During his time in college, Smith consistently demonstrated his ability to make plays on the ball, resulting in numerous pass breakups. 79. Stanford QB Tanner McKee 87. Army EDGE Andre Carter II 106. LSU WR Kayshon Boutte 119. Oregon LB Noah Sewell 158.
