Kirk Cousins is "shocked and disappointed".

(Actual quote!)

Dude's ego is ridiculous

Thou shalt have no other gods before me, but that guaranteed money…

LOL, yup. It doesn't really matter to Kirk, he's all about the money.

Its such a weird pick. They're tethered to Cousins for 2 seasons, so they draft a 24 year-old to sit for 2 years?

Honestly Cousins confidence may be shot. Zimmer never wanted him. KAM and KOC never gave him the long-term deal he wanted. Now Atlanta drafts his replacement with a Top 10 pick.

He turns 25 before the season. That means he doesn't start until he is 27...assuming he is good enough


He turns 24 in a couple weeks...

Vikings trade up one pick too late.
I bet it's Turner.

We can still have one of these defenders:

DT: Newton

Edge: Turner, Verse, Robinson

CB: Mitchell, Arnold, DeJean


A Georgia guy is ranked the #1 safety on ESPN... go Kwesi!

Vikings gave up a #### to trade up for Turner.

It has to be our compensatory pick next year.

Someone needs to check on Brad.

We drafted McCarthy and a DE. He might stroke out.

Seems like Turner is a perfect fit for our scheme.

Loving this draft! Got our QBOF without giving up 23 and then move up again to get an absolute stud edge rusher. Kwesi may be getting the hang of this.

Strange draft, not hoping for any particular player. Do hope to preserve draft capital. Someone needs to tell Kwesi to relax in words he understands, like letting the draft evolve organically.

There are 3-5 CBs, get one at #23.


Do you have a preference at QB? What are you thinking, Bill?


No, but am concerned about what these QBs are worth.

Maye. I think he's pretty unflappable, one of the things that go into having 'It'. 11, 23, and change.
McCarthy. He's done some stuff already, just not much of it. No glaring issues. 11 and change.
Penix. Great arm. Concerns about pocket presence and injuries. 23 and change.
Nix. Gimmicky. An SEC failure. Stats-smats. Pass for Rattler except we don't have a second rounder.

We need draft picks. No 2nd last year. No 2nd and 3rd this year. No 2nd next year. In a few years that is going to show as a huge void unless they draft great. Free agency just isn't going to cover the omissions and lapses. The money didn't go far this year. A couple of guys who haven't played full seasons, some injured guys, and an ok RB.


I'm kind of the opposite. Kwesi keeps trading down for more picks, yet diminishing returns. 10 bad picks isn't preferable to 6 bad picks...

I'm ready to see him consolidate picks to trade up. Maybe he can get an impact player that way.



Thank you Kwesi!!!
