With the blitz of articles this past week espousing how "aggressive" the Vikings will be in moving up in the draft, I'm starting to feel like it could be smoke on some level.

Like, could Kwesi be savvy enough to be letting teams think he is willing to give up 4 firsts to move up and let them sweat when we don't call?

Then they call us and we get a better deal?

And the other story this week being that we sent everyone to hang out with JJ this week as more smoke that he is the guy we really like and are moving to 4 for him...

and instead we pass and move up one spot for Penix?

Or to bait another team to move up for him?

Just seems weird that we would be so transparent

I appreciate you trying to cheer me up, but I'm convinced Kwesi will do whatever it takes to move up.

Cheer you up? Exciting to get a try QBOTF. Darnold is actually fairly young also. Trade party is going to be rocking and what will you be doing?

I don't know who Brett Kollman is, but his thought processes are pure genius IMO.

Brett Kollmann
@BrettKollmann
I feel like picks 2, 3, 4, and 5 all lining up for the chance to get Minnesota's picks should be some kind of warning sign to all of us.

I don't know what that warning is yet, but it's there.

4 and 5 might be lining up. I’m just hoping 2 and 3 aren’t closed off to the possibility.

I've decided Darnold might not suck so all the more reason for us NOT to trade up. You know my thoughts on Kwesi's drafting acumen. He's probably the worst GM at that in the NFL. I see him giving up huge assets to move up for a player and it will be the wrong player to boot. Nope. My dapper will not be up.

RU Kidding? Any of the 4 is exciting dude. KOC also is in his ear.

Why are you so stuck on 2022 draft? 2023 Draft: Addison, TJ, Blackmon, Roy. The draft is important but so is FA and UDFA......

Strange mocks today. There are at least 3 that have the Pats trading out of #3 to the Vikings and doing nothing about a QB in the first round. In these scenarios, the Vikings take either Maye or Daniels and Denver trades up to get McCarthy. Both Pennix and Nix go undrafted in the first round.

The mocks that go multiple rounds have NE picking Nix in the second.

I'm not buying the 2 through 5 wanting the Vikings picks rumor. Washington and NE are as desperate for a QBOTF as the Vikings. They're both in position to have one of the elites fall in their laps. Why would they trade out of that position? The only possibility I see is NE thinking McCarthy is as good as QB3 and being willing to move down as long as they can still get McCarthy.

4 & 5 are both plausible as both teams have a lot of needs and may value two firsts this year and an extra one next year over a WR even if it's MHJ. I especially could see Harbaugh fitting this mind set. Keep in mind either one could easily move up a couple of spots from 11 and grab the last of the 3 elite receivers.

I think the 2 is pretty much off limits. But if NE is not sold on (especially) Maye or McCarthy, I could see them trading down. But probably not lower than 5 if they do like McCarthy.

I still think Penix goes by 13, but I wouldn't be stunned to see him slide to the 2nd. I've been saying all along Nix is probably early 2nd. But I do think if Penix goes top half of R1, it actually increases the chances of Nix going in the 1st.

Ironically and sadistically (to me), the more I read about the prospects the more I am coming around to staying put. I have become a little less enthusiastic about Maye and McCarthy (since yesterday so that can change in a hurry) ... I think Nix is actually growing on me a little bit (could also be a form of head lice).

Please don't infer that you influence me in any way. Although, if I'm honest, it really annoys me when you're right (Treadwell). Which doesn't happen all that often. For anybody where the draft is related. But I suppose that's a negative influence.

My point ... even when you were spot on with Treadwell ... your negative campaign against him was over the top annoying .... nobody knows for sure at that point ... it is still a guess at that point and while criticizing a pick(s) is perfectly fine ... going on and on with certainty before the draft has even ended, can be a true buzzkill.

Its one thing, after twelve seasons to hold a buzzkill opinion of a Cousins and his big game ineptitude ... its another to bludgeon everybody with your certainty about prospects before we are even done with the draft.

Keep a little perspective please. See how it goes.

OK ... belay my previous post [about being back on the McCarthy bandwagon] ... (I'm going to begin every post this way until the draft is over)

There are discussions now of Harbaugh calling McCarthy the best QB in the universe to promote someone moving up for a QB in front of the Chargers pick. Giving him more non-QB options to choose from.

Diabolical but it makes sense.

I appreciate what you're saying Tom. When it comes to Treadwell I did pretty extensive research on him which for me was about 3 hours. In all the film I watched he almost never got separation. I kept hearing how great he was on contested passes and that's good I guess, but I very much prefer receivers who seldom have to make contested catches. For sharing that opinion I was getting attacked big time.
