vike daddy Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) a thread for our mocks and those of others: For the first time in the 2024 Draft cycle, we’ll be going through a Vikings mock draft, picking prospects for each of their eight selections in this spring’s draft from Rounds 1-6. Trades will come in later mock drafts, but for now, we’re keeping it simple and just sticking with the original picks. R1, P21: Washington QB Michael Penix Now is the time for the Vikings to go after their QB of the future. Assuming the Vikings land with a pick in the early 20s, they could either trade up for one of the best prospects in the class or stand pat and still land a first-round caliber QB. Michael Penix has all sorts of arm talent, but his injury history could cause some NFL teams to be wary of him. He was a former track athlete in high school and has all sorts of speed that allows him to create plays with his legs while his ridiculous arm strength makes him one of the more intriguing QB prospects in this draft. It’s a big risk for the Vikings to take a chance on a player who missed time in every season from 2018-2022, but Penix has the traits of an NFL player if he can stay healthy. R2, P52: LSU DT Maason Smith R4, P121: Clemson RB Will Shipley R4, P127: Colorado State EDGE Mohamed Kamara R5, P158: Auburn CB Jaylin Simpson R5, P160: Iowa IOL Connor Colby R6, P178: Texas A&M WR Moose Muhammad R6, P187: Florida State LB Tatum Bethune https://purpleptsd.com/2023/vikings/vikings-analysis/vikings-mock-draft-qb-2/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook Edited December 10, 2023 by vike daddy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 It's going to be a quarterback. From now through April every mock draft is going to have the Vikings drafting a quarterback. This is going to be one of the most boring draft seasons for the Vikings in a long time because the talk is going to revolve around one position. Quarterback. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrplChilPill Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 two of the three on CBS now have all the Vikings not taking a QB in round 1.....so, um, good luck getting one (and if you sign Kirk, you aren't getting one in 25 either).

PrplChilPill Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 several mocks have the Vikings passing on Nix and Penix and taking DB or Edge at this point, which, I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcblack34 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Long way to go before the draft. The draft order isn't even set. Players still haven't declared. Vikings haven't resigned Kirk yet. Lots of moving parts and lots of time for those parts to move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcblack34 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 That said, I really wish we had traded back into the 1st round for Will Levis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to imagine a scenario where we trade 1.32 from the 2022 draft to Chicago for their first in 2023 and we end up with Stroud and Addison. But then we might have messed that up and took Bryce Young instead lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
