Ozzy Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) 12 hours ago, swede700 said: I wonder what they all did with their Justin Fields jerseys, which was the best selling jersey in Illinois, Indiana and yes, Wisconsin, in 2022 and the best-selling rookie jersey in 2021. Really, Justin Fields was the highest selling jersey out of each of those states across the board? Here is a graphic I found mind you it is just jersey sales in the at retailer "Lids" so that alone is some what deceptive. But Lids is the key there, not all jerseys are sold at Lids of course. Curious what NFL data would say across all retailers including online purchases.... This graphic has Tom Brady the top in Indiana. Dak Prescott the highest in South Carolina is a bit odd, but basically a lot of states without a football team go to Tom Brady...haha And Kyle Pitts is very odd for Montana. Sweet for players to be able to get some of those merchandise sales which is great for them! Back to the draft, pretty positive Daniels, Maye and McCarthy all want to go to Minnesota regardless of the potential pay decrease if they drop in the draft to go there. Easily the best place right now for any QB in the top 10 to go. Still does not mean they should trade up to go get one, and if they are such a great stable place for a QB to come to, it should not matter as much who they are...

CriminalMind Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Will Levis drank his coffee with mayo. No doubt that was his demise as s first round prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a huge pay decrease at #11 compared to #2/#3. I can go with, “they all want Minny to trade up to #2 and select them” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I'm really feeling that we will be sticking and picking at 11 & 23 11. JJ McCarthy / Michael Penix Jr. 23. Newton/Latu/BPA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone from Minnesota told me that Ketchup is considered a spice! Maybe McCarthy is signaling that he will be a "spicy QB." Take that anyway you want!!! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Getting back at Howie Roseman felt good after the Sam Bradford trade. Granted, we did end up giving them a free 5th round pick for Reagor who we ended up cutting so maybe he got the last laugh again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vikings were thought to be Super Bowl contenders, plus opening a new stadium. A lot was at risk for Minnesota to not have competent quarterback play. Unfortunately, Sam was brittle and injury prone. In hindsight there may have been better options for the Vikings FO to have gone after. But, in the moment, the trade for Bradford seemed pretty reasonable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, in the moment, the trade for Bradford seemed pretty reasonable. I think it's universally agreed upon though that Spielman panicked and made that trade though. Under normal circumstances, Bradford was probably valued at a 2nd round pick. But enough of that. I'm hopeful that this front office doesn't panic like the old one did.

Captain Relax Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Just saw a clip of a Rich Eisen interview with JJ McCarthy. According to the clip JJ believes he's going to the Giants. Either he knows that the Giants have a deal with AZ, or he doesn't know how the draft works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikes22 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I think there is a good chance we stay at 11 as well. McCarthy or Nix at 11 Barton ( would love this pick. Can play every position on the O-line ) or BPA. Should be a lot of fun tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if they had won like had been expected, it would have been at the bottom of the first round, thus basically a 2nd round pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I knew that it was steak and eggs...with ketchup. I can buy the ketchup on steak, even as absurd as that sounds because some steak sauce actually has ketchup in it already. It's the ketchup on eggs that is nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
