I think McCarthy moves in to the top 10.

Post combine, McCarthy has absolutely moved into the top 10. I've even seen mocks that make him the #3 QB.

I don't understand him moving up post combine. He was very inaccurate in the throwing sessions. He weighed in good though at 219.

The consensus I’ve read is, McCarthy missed some throws but had a good workout.

His lack of production in college has not held him back - from a draftnik perspective - because he looked very good within the production he did have, plus his winning record including the championship.

For my money, I think he’s iffy along with Penix. Its almost like he’s a bit of a mystery but he’s been given the benefit of the doubt because of his reputation among scouts.

I’ll take any one of the top six QBs … I’d rather not give up an obscene amount of assets to get one but the sting of that is much less than not getting one period.

Desperate times.

Dallas Turner in the first and Nix or Penix in the 2nd. If not then we get the best QB we can in FA and draft a QB next year. Or maybe we really like Michael Pratt.

Waiting until next year … year #4 for this regime … to get a young QB would be an absolute fail by this gm hc and organization.

I know some things are out of their control but if they can’t figure it out while drafting 11 in a very strong year for QBs …

they should be fired.

We had Kirk Cousins the first 2 years of their regime. I think Kwesi should be fired regardless, but not getting a young soon to be star QB is not something I'm going to fault him for at this time. Good chance one of the best QBs will be available in the 2nd round. Just because we don't trade up or pick a QB at 11 doesn't mean we won't get a talented young QB.

Chris Simms is my favorite draft analyst when it comes to QBs. That doesn't mean I will agree with every one of his takes, but I will second guess my opinions when he explains his reasoning. He thinks Caleb Williams is far and away the best QB in the draft. I like everything he has to say about him. However, he's going to play for the Bears so his career could be over before it starts. He has Jayden Daniels in his own tier as 2nd best in the draft. Coming in 3rd is Bo Nix, 4th is Penix, 5th is McCarthy and 6th is Maye. He's guaranteeing that Maye will be available when the Vikings pick and believes we should NOT take him. This is a very in depth analysis of the top 6 QBs in his opinion in the draft. It's brand new. Just came out earlier today. It's 2 hours so will require some serious attention span, but IMO it's well worth it.

Nix reminds me of McNabb. Runs very hot or very cold.

Exactly, they had Cousins their first two years. That is a fireable offense as is.

If they dont land one of the first or second tier QB prospects this draft, off with their heads.

In case you haven’t figured it out..

kGB is a KFC Stan, and as a Stan, that gives management, a built tin pass for everything, and puts out the blame for mediocrity, everywhere else..

Poor playcalling?

“But we lost our franchise QB.. “…” 13-4…” … we beat SF with K Jesus F Cousins…”

Bad drafting?

“Horrific leg fractur on the #1 Cine..”..
“ we traded back to Gia in draft capital”.. while passing on real talent at positions of need who WERE available.

You are wasting your time..

Good point. I have nothing against McCarthy. If we pick him at 11 I won't bum out. If we give up assets to trade up for him I will bum out.

Kirk was playing at a near MVP level last year prior to the injury. This year it will be tough to get a first or 2nd tier QB. Chris Simms has the tiers Tier 1 Williams. Tier 2 Daniels. Tier 3 Nix, Penix, and McCarthy. Tier 4 Maye. A tier 3 should be doable if we use pick 11 on him. I take it you would not want us to take a Defender there and take the chance of one lasting until the 2nd round or trying to trade back into the first for one of them.

What if McCarthy and Maye are both there at 11?
I should try to place a bet on this while the odds are still decent. I bet Simms is right and Maye falls to pick 11 minimum.

You mean after starting the season 1-4?

Cousins helped us lose one playoff game during the Kwesi Kevin regime?

That equals a dead end. Period.

Cousins Mullens + Hall and our lack of planning has left us more barren than an Arrakis wormhole.

As far as as Simms ... I find him entertaining but nobody has any idea how this is going to turn out including the the teams drafting. He's no more authoritative than anybody else. Every year Simms tries to throw something provocative out there / to go against the grain. That's not being knowledgeable, that's seeking attention.

Knowing Queasy, he'll draft a TE.

Cousins didn't start 1-4. The Vikings did due to every reason other than Cousins. The national media announcers were saying Kirk was playing at an MVP level. It wasn't me. I'm predicting Simms is right and Maye falls at least as far as us. We could be wrong.

Just keep in mind, you and Sims could GUESS right or wrong. Its still a wild guess.

I get the feeling Penix will not be there in the 2nd. I'd rather have the QB than Turner. If they pass on Penix and he gets sniped by another team, it'll be just another draft failure by Kwesi should he go that route.

I agree. There isn't a free agent QB worth the investment and there is no way I'd trade for Fields. Maybe a cheap bridge like Wilson but really it just leaves the draft. A failure to draft one of the top QB's is a fireable offense. I've never had so little faith in a Vikings GM in my life. He just doesn't seem to have any "feel" for the job and I've been unable to identify or understand what his "plan" is to get the Vikings to the Super Bowl. Maybe I'm missing something and he's got a super secret plan to build a dynasty...but, that's just the fan in me hoping for the best.

I agree. There isn't a free agent QB worth the investment and there is no way I'd trade for Fields. Maybe a cheap bridge like Wilson but really it just leaves the draft. A failure to draft one of the top QB's is a fireable offense. I've never had so little faith in a Vikings GM in my life. He just doesn't seem to have any "feel" for the job and I've been unable to identify or understand what his "plan" is to get the Vikings to the Super Bowl. Maybe I'm missing something and he's got a super secret plan to build a dynasty...but, that's just the fan in me hoping for the best.

We are up against it for sure.

So much is out of our control.

Its not luck, we have put ourselves in this position.

Cousins Mullens Hall is no better than Cousins Mannion Mond.

I will keep hoping for the clouds to part and something dramatic to happen. I'm afraid it will have to be unintentional to turn out good.

Mullens is at least fascinating to watch as every single play could be a score or a turnover.

Give him his due – most QBs don't wait to throw the ball until after they've being sacked.

Just keep in mind, you and Sims could GUESS right or wrong. Its still a wild guess.

I don't think it's a wild guess. I really believe Simms is good at this.

Our QB position is a dumpster fire.

Any ungodly attempt to resign Jesus boy to an extension is like trying to use napalm to extinguish the Stinking garbage filled blaze.

But given the management inability to identify quality players in the draft, Queasy alway trying to be cute and prove how smart he is by trading picks..

I have ZERO expectations for this draft, except get the fn pick in on time.

I'm trying to remember if I have ever seen a QB intercepted by the guy who was sacking him before.

I feel the same way. I'm afraid he's going to Frick this up so bad we will end up the cellar for years.

Just about any team can be 2 years away from a complete turnaround.
