I don't ever want them just to draft one to draft one...that's how you end up with Kellen Mond or Christian Ponder. What matters is that they get the right one.

CriminalMind Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 What’s the potential cost to trade up from #13 to #1 in February if they really like one of the QBs, and they don’t want to sign Kirk for a big contract in March, while not risking that no one is available at “13” they like in April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, Chicago won’t trade the #1 pick to a divisional opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not #1 but sometimes ego may get in the way of actually just making a sensible decision. Edited December 27, 2023 by vikingsrule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t call a pick outside the top 50 a high pick, and trading a TE to a divisional opponent is vastly different than trading with a divisional opponent that lands them a “generational” QB prospect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanVike Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I think the Quarterback class is deep enough that we can grab a good QB without selling the farm for the No. 1 pick. I would be exhilarated if we picked Jayden Daniels. Excellent mobility and outstanding deepball accuracy. He might be available at picks 5-10... which would be a much more manageable position to move up to... especially if we were to lose the next two games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted December 28, 2023 Author Share Posted December 28, 2023 At the moment, the Vikings would choose 14th in the 2024 NFL Draft, a draft spot that could climb as high as eighth or dive in the mid-20s, depending on the outcome of the next couple of games. If the Vikings miss the postseason, they’ll draft somewhere between 8th-16th. A playoff trip would shove the pick into the 20s. If Kwesi Adofo-Mensah doesn’t want to re-sign Cousins nor give up a ton of assets to go after a quarterback prospect, Gardner Minshew would be a solid option in free agency since he’s done a good job of filling in for Anthony Richardson this season. The five-year veteran had a 63.3 completion percentage, nearly 2,800 yards and 14 touchdowns heading into this weekend while keeping the Colts in the playoff hunt. He ranks 22nd leaguewide per quarterback DVOA out of 45 qualifying passers, sandwiched between Kenny Pickett and Tyrod Taylor. https://vikingsterritory.com/2023/news/analysis/fa-idea-for-vikings?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the RG3-package, and probably put a 50% premium on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
