VikeManDan Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Let's move the conversation here as we're less than 3 hours away from the start. A reminder to not tip picks in any of the draft threads. @SemperFeist will create threads for the Vikings pick(s). Enjoy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly_iavikefn Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I'm fine with the pick being JJ McCarthy, but not if it means giving up a bunch of picks to go up and get him. If the cost is too much, I'd be perfectly content staying at #11 and #23 and improving on the defensive side of the ball. Sam Darnold isn't the long-term answer, for sure, but I don't want to mortgage the future for a QB prospect that I'm not sold on. Continue to build up the rest of the roster, go get Dak Prescott in free agency next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfotunately we don't have a 2nd next year, and improving the defense with 11/23 means next year's 1st is likely a mid-to-high pick. When, then, can we get a QB... A late '25 1st rounder? A Dak Prescott via '25 FA? No thanks. A '26 first rounder? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybrowner47 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I think it’s time gentlemen.. I’m 48 years old and we’ve kicked this can down the road as long as I’ve been alive. This is risky but sometimes you have to take a chance at greatness. I’m ready! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Fobos Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Food for thought: If Dobbs didn't help us win in 2023, I think we'd be picking around #5 tonight. Still glad we won. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWood21 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 @SteelKing728 saw your tweet you linked a few pages back in the other thread, wanted to add some input. The Giants would likely need to include something beyond the 6th pick, so the original tweet is a bit misleading since no NFL GM in their right mind would offer a lesser pick than what they're going up for without some sort of incentive. According to the traditional trade chart, the 47th pick would "beat" the Vikings offer alone, and that's assuming no other picks. If they only offered the 70th pick, the Giants' package wouldn't be as good as the Vikings. If they offer 70/107 along with 6, that's roughly an early 4th round pick worth of value missing. According to the Rich Hill TVC, the gap is bigger between 11/23 and 6/47. Either way, should be an interesting draft for the entire division. Good luck and I'll probably pop in after the Vikings pick. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AP_allday2869 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 According to Pelissero, we got cold feet. If you think this guy can be the QB for the next decade, it shouldn't matter what the price is. That's a big time disappointment if true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all knew the season was lost 8 games in. There would be no issue getting Maye if we lost even one of those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duluther Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 You have to go into games playing to win. Otherwise you're the Browns. Plus, wins get your players xp and can trigger scenarios. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe they aren’t sure, or maybe they don’t think the gap between prospects are that great. Or maybe they are just bluffing to try to get the price down. I think the point though is to make the right move and not just trade up for a QB just for the sake of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
