Mate is the guy I’m least impressed with (so he’ll probably be the best pro). And I’ve really come around on taking a shot at Penix. Especially if we can get him at our spot.

Williams, Daniels or Penix and I’m thrilled.

Same on Maye.

First 3 games, 4 TDs, 4 Ints
Last 3 games, 4 TDs, 4 Ints

A few days ago bstinger accused me of willing to take any QB regardless which I argued fiercely against.

I just don’t know anymore. I confess I’m almost there. The more you look at these guys the more I’d hate to burn draft picks to move up even a few spots.

I feel pretty hopeless and passive given that Kwesi and Kevin are choosing. Outside of blind luck, I can’t see them setting the foundation for a really good team.

I see Jameson Williams is out for Sunday, just as he was starting to come on. I was kind of hoping he’d flash in our game just to remind Kwesi how foolish it is to move around just for the sake of moving around.

Oh well, we’ll stick to our plan and prance around the draft room after our first pick … as bad an omen as there ever was.

Cine has been a BUST of epic proportion...
Essentially a ghost for 2 seasons!

That being said... if Big K had drafted a WR at spot 12 who managed
25 catches
395 yards
3 TDs

over those same 2 seasons.

I don't think Kwesi is getting a pass from the pitchfork crew. (me included)

You have the number 12 pick you need a playmaker, PERIOD.
Painful to see all the talent passed on (Hamilton, McDuffie, etc...)

i never watch college football because of the time difference where I live, and I've got a family that only gives me one game a week, and that's the vikings...

i just watched the 20-minute versions of the sugar and rose bowl games...michael penix is going to destroy michigan - the wolverines don't have the offense to stay with Washington, and that quarterback at michigan - do not draft him; he's a poor man's nick mullens....

Washington +4.5 = easy money....

i know you think i'm crazy and I don't know shit, and maybe you're right, but i'm putting my money where my mouth is....

Trade with the Bears #1 and draft Caleb Williams?

Its like watching Lazarus rise from the dead. Your Caleb mania goes away for a month or two then pops back up, ready to wangle a few hundred times.

Penix is the wild card. I’ve been seeing anywhere from Top 10 to mid 2nd.

My guess is if his medical aren’t a mess, he’s probably no lower than mid 1st.

We’re beyond due to make a big draft move for a franchise QB. We’re going to be in striking range. Have a very tradable asset.

I hope the report below is accurate and we were willing to make a big up last year for Richardson but the potential trade partner feared how good he was going to be.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4NTmAQRhuU

If true, it gives me some hope we ID a guy or two and take a big swing.

Just caught that myself. I was big on Richardson so I would have been thrilled. IF they were actually trying to make that big of a move I’d be impressed. If the Colts passed on what they’re saying was the proposed offer they are beyond stupid. We’ll never know for sure.

But that definitely makes me excited about the possibility of doing it this year.

Several credible of MN sports reporters have confirmed this. It's not some youtuber rumor. They said that they are certain that when KAM identifies a target he'll move to get him.

this is my understanding of our situation....


make playoffs:
vikings win
cardinals win
bears win
falcons win or panthers win


move to top 10 draft pick:
vikings lose
falcons win
bears win
raiders win

Chicago wouldn't do it anyway. Only stupid GM's take an offer to, potentially, give a division rival a franchise QB. Not saying they wouldn't trade the pick. Just not to us.

Poles might feel like he can fleece a division rival, just like Kwesi thinks he can.

Chicago might be happy with Fields, and IF the Vikings offer more thany other team for the 1st pick, Chicago might take it.

I bet a $1.37 on this happening (Falcons to win) for a payout of $53.06

- maybe I should of bought a half dozen bananas at Kwik Star instead <shrug>

that's a pretty good price for the bananas - i'd buy a full dozen, and still make that bet....

Draft Penix with our pick. Resign JJ. Let Cousins and Smith go. Try to keep Hunter, but let him go if it doesn’t work.

Spend the rest of the draft and cap on O-Line.

Defense will SUCK next year, but get the offense ready. Then the following offseason - all defense.

I would very quietly ask around to see what we could get for JJ before I did anything else. A big haul of picks might make our offseason very lucrative. We really need to build up the lines.
