Really appreciate the effort you make every draft year, and sharing it with us @Danchat! 

Are you doing your live picks on Google sheets again to follow along?

Excellent. I’ll be following along!

Those trades seem kind of light to the sellers. It's probably accurate, but in past years teams that move up have to overpay.

I'd do 12 for 29 and 30 (I think.....but, risky).

I'd rather do 12 and a mid round pick to Pitt for their 1st and 2nd....

Yes to both of these.

Tidbits I heard on KFAN this morning…

Paul Allen said that if Stingley made it down to around pick 8, he thinks the Vikings will trade up for him. 

If Sauce Gardner and Stingley are gone, be on the lookout for a WR pick. Sounds like Garrett Wilson is the top WR on our board. 

Trading down is a realistic possibility. Steam around the league is picks 11-14 will be the sweet spot for teams like Pittsburgh to move up for their QB. 

PA has been hyping up Malik Willis. Not sure if he’s prepping us for a surprise pick, or a smoke screen. 

 

Wow...you sacrificed time for Paul Allen.  Then endured his painful brand of obnoxiousness to bring these to us.

Hats off to you sir.  You're a hero.

Good thing I can't watch, I read it is straight up military propaganda again. The NFL sure has a bit....

[Vanimal46]

Doogie Wolfson saying the Cowboys are looking to trade up with us. 

[Mike Sixel]

I still imagine one of the crazy deals some pundit said could happen months ago, with the Vikings getting multiple picks from the Jets for Hunter (seems impossible)....

[Vanimal46]

Stingley off the board….

No surprise. 

[Vanimal46]

Both CBs gone in the top 5. I’m firmly on team WR or team trade down. 

[TheLeviathan]

Pushing down Wilson to us is going to make that KC offer a real possibility.  Or someone like AZ desperate for Johnson if he's there.

I didn't trust Stingley.

[Vanimal46]

Should be a run of OL starting now. Giants will take one, maybe Atlanta, maybe Seattle. 

[Danchat]

I think we're getting to choose between Jermaine Johnson and Kyle Hamilton - I'd pull the trigger on Johnson, didn't think he'd make it to 12.

[Vanimal46]

There goes one trade partner. Saints trading up to 11. For Willis I assume. 

[Vanimal46]

Trade down with Detroit 

 

[Mike Sixel]

Terrible trade. Awful value. Awful. Terrible. 

[gunnarthor]

Not sure I like this trade

The value isn't great but it reflects the draft.

[nicksaviking]

Why the hell would the Vikings have to give up #42?!?

Dumb. Should have been #32 and 2023’s 1sr rounder.

[gunnarthor]

Drop 20 spots in first and second round to get one extra 2nd rd pick? 

[Mike Sixel]

I'm already down on the new guy

[TheLeviathan]

If you see this draft as being basically a wash from about 10-50....the trade makes sense.  They didn't want to overdraft a dude at 12, so they took the best they could.

I can see why you don't like it.  At the same time....we absolutely could get two really good starters out of this rather than 1.

An extra 3rd… Move down 20 slots in the first, gain 12 slots in the 2nd then the extra 3rd. I don’t like the trade. 

[nicksaviking]

Nobody gets played by Detroit. Embarrassing.

At least they won’t end up getting a franchise QB out of it.

[Danchat]

Everyone is pissed off over at Purple Pain, and yes, it's a bad trade, but it's not the end of the world. I am frustrated they didn't go for a blue chipper like Johnson or Hamilton.
