NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah recently suggested on the “Move the Sticks” podcast that the Washington Commanders might be the ideal trade partner for the Vikings.

quote:

“If you’re Minnesota…I think that Washington might be your best shot if you want to get up into the top three,” Jeremiah stated. “I don’t think New England is going to get out of there…but I think Washington, they have the 36th and the 40th picks. If you traded to 11 with Minnesota, you could get a haul of picks from the Vikings.”

The Vikings don’t have a pick in the second or third round this year to offer, but perhaps the No. 11 and 23 overall picks plus their 2025 first-rounder entices the Commanders enough to move back seven spots and be OK missing out on North Carolina’s Drake Maye and LSU’s Jayden Daniels.

Such a move would also give the Commanders the ammunition to move back up into the top 10 if they wanted to get Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy.

quote:

“I know the Chargers, it’s all been out there that they would love to get out of [pick No.] 5, so if you’re Washington, could you go from 2 to 11 then comeback up to 5,” Jeremiah said. “You’ve still got extra picks [and] you would still get the fourth quarterback. Say if you really like J.J. McCarthy, for example. You’re like, ‘I can get J.J. McCarthy, a future [first-round pick] and a bunch of other stuff.’”

If the Commanders were to trade with Minnesota, they could also simply take the best player available at No. 11 and use the 23rd overall pick on either Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. or Oregon QB Bo Nix.

Stud defender at #11, Penix or Nix at #23 ?

Apparently our two first round picks, on the value chart, get you to between 3 and 4.

Now, when you're trading up that high and for a QB, the chart can go a bit out the window, but its a good starting baseline.

So adding next year's #1 should theoretically be enough to get you to #2.

if the top 4 qb’s are gone at 11, we trade down for more ammo with selecting penix the objective….

My guess...

Vikes want Maye.

DRAFT Scenario 1
1. C. Williams,
2. J. Daniels (very possible )
3. Vikes trade with NE to get Maye

DRAFT Scenario 2
1. C. Williams,
2. D. Maye
3. J. Daniels
4. Harrison
5. If Vikes love J. McCarthy... trade up and grab him

DRAFT Scenario 3
1. C. Williams,
2. D. Maye
3. J. Daniels

Vikes value rest as lower value.... either take a guy at 11 or try at 23.

TREMENDOUS flexibility... and for decent cost IMO.

Pretty excited.

I am guessing the Vikings are trading #11 and #23 for pick #5 with S.D., and the Vikings take JJ McCarthy.

Is that a fair trade, or is it a Kwesi trade of giving up a little too much ?

And do you guys and gals like McCarthy enough to make that trade ?

What if Denver offers the farm to the Cardinals and jump us for McCarthy, if that's who KOC/Kwesi have identified?

Vikes are the only team with 2 1st picks this year I believe... seems like Vikes would at least get a call if that happened...

Now, they could get pulled into a bidding war.

But I would guess at this point they have a lot of leverage to get the guy they want.

But wouldn't teams want to snipe Washington and trade ahead of the #23 pick for a QB, or does that only happen if Minnesota owns the pick ? (That is, if Minnesota goes BPA at #11, then wants Nix or Penix at #23).
