swede700 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) 5 minutes ago, vike daddy said: yes, but the four players they lose a chance to draft in that scenario? The Titans desperately need an OT. There will be some very good OTs still available at 11 (as there are 4 potentially taken in the top 10-12 picks). If they can still get a top-shelf OT and add a 2025 2nd rd pick, that's pretty darn good. This OT class is very deep, so they don't necessarily have to get native Minnesotan Joe Alt...if they were to get the third best OT in the class, that's not really a drop-off.

swede700 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Quote ROUND 1, PICK NO. 3: DRAKE MAYE, QB NORTH CAROLINA The NFL Mock Draft Database considers a trade up from No. 11 to No. 3 as one that only requires a future first-round pick. Using the quarterback tax calculated above, it looks like the Vikings would also have to give up a second-round pick. Because we’re preserving that pick and because the Vikings don’t have a third-round pick, the only way to make up those 80 points on the Rich Hill chart is to give up the rest of the draft. The database doesn’t allow that, only allowing the Vikings to trade all of their Day 3 picks except pick No. 190 for some reason. That means the Vikings traded Picks No. 11, 109, 130, 156, 166, and 179 in 2024 — and their first-round pick in 2025 — for Drake Maye. ROUND 2, PICK NO. 42: TRADE TO THE LOS ANGELES RAMS We’re left with two picks in the draft, which makes for a very boring mock on a team that needs some more juice. So we’re going to be trading down quite a bit. ROUND 2, PICK NO. 52: TRADE TO THE TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS One more pick isn’t enough. We need even more. ROUND 2, PICK NO. 57: TRADE TO THE BUFFALO BILLS The hope going in is that this would be the final trade (it’s not). The offerings on the board are pretty tempting at this point. They include defensive tackles Michael Hall and Ruke Orhorhoro, cornerbacks Mike Sainristil and Kris Abrams-Draine, and interior offensive lineman Christian Mahogany. ROUND 2, PICK NO. 60: TRADE TO THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS This is the first trade that felt like a risk. There are four players who seem like quality selections, and trading down four spots puts all of them in danger. But the machine demands more prospects, so we go through with it. ROUND 2, PICK NO. 64: TRADE TO THE NEW YORK JETS The trade-down with the Jets is pretty substantial. This time, the team netted the 72nd overall pick, with the 112th thrown in for the trouble. Technically, this is an even more dramatic win than any of the others. ROUND 3, PICK NO. 72: KAMREN KINCHENS, S MIAMI (FL) ROUND 3, PICK NO. 100: MAX MELTON, CB RUTGERS ROUND 4, PICK NO. 112: GABRIEL MURPHY, EDGE UCLA ROUND 4, PICK NO. 126: MARSHAWN LLOYD, RB USC ROUND 4, PICK NO. 129: JAMARI THRASH, WR USC ROUND 4, PICK NO. 133: TOMMY EICHENBERG, LB OHIO STATE ROUND 6, PICK NO. 190: LOGAN LEE, DT IOWA https://zonecoverage.com/2024/minnesota-vikings-news/arif-hasans-vikings-2024-mock-draft-3-0-trading-up-for-drake-maye/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Trading up for Maye, fine. But to then trade down, and down, and down repeatedly for a safety and a CB? No thanks, address the trenches Arif! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 In this scenario, the Vikings sent picks 11 and 42, along with a second-round selection in 2025, to the Chargers for picks 5 and 69. The Chargers can still land one of the top cornerbacks or pass catchers in the class while adding extra value for the future. https://thevikingage.com/posts/minnesota-vikings-nfl-draft-2024-pre-free-agency-7-round-mock-draft/6?fbclid=IwAR1YWQLZDebRryd713Gdxkix5fFX8v5nHCy4bkIcEviReP3SoSzGvILbLCs how do those trade numbers look?

vikesfan89 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Would it make any sense to trade up before the draft to 5 and then on draft day yet to trade up to 3 or 4 depending on which QB is available but if you can't trade up to get the 3rd QB they could still be almost guaranteed to get the 4th? Or would that just make a team trade to 4 in front of the Vikings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
