NFL Draft Day 2024

Good lord, get Schefter out of the room. He's as grating as Gilbert Godfried.

But in no way hilarious.

Vikings trade up one spot looks like. No mystery here.

Paying the Bronco/Raider tax for sure.

[Parfigliano]

Vikes traded up for.....

[gunnarthor]

I've been a McCarthy guy for a while so I'm good with this pick. 

[Cap'n Piranha]

You have to think the Jets will take Bowers, and then the Broncos probably pounce on Nix, right?  First 12 picks all offense.  Crazy.

Right, but he's clearly being fed info that the teams have held close to the vest for months, he's telegraphing every single pick. It's not like he's some awesome journalist, this is obviously purposeful. Why is ESPN spoiling the picks?

[Aggies7]

Is Mullens still on the roster? I need more Mullens 

[Aggies7]

Well this is a bleeping downer before the pick JFC

Right, go follow that up JJ. Welcome to Minnesota.

[gunnarthor]

I really liked this pick. I think he's a prefect fit for KOC, who made Mullins look good. 

[nicksaviking]

OK, I'm satisfied. Didn't expect this but I'm happy they took the chance on a QB. Might not work out, but I'm happy for the effort.

Mullens* put some respect on his name

[Mike Sixel]

100% they trade down pick two?

JJ McCarthy! Without giving up 23 is huge 

[gunnarthor]

KOC looks really happy. 

[nicksaviking]

Looks like the Vikings traded their 4th and 5th this year to move up.

Making picks is fun, but that's fine by me.

No doubt this is a hand picked QB by KOC. I’ve got faith he continues to improve. And no doubt we have the best situation for a young QB to go to.

No way.

95% tops.

I think there will be too much defensive talent at 23 to trade out. This draft is insane with only offense going so far.

He's the only one I really cared to have an opinion on the QB, so that's good.

[Mike Sixel]

So much defense left. Unreal.

Yeah, I bet they trade back because that's their MO, but if any of Murphy, Verse, Turner and Latu are available, I want them running to the podium.

Not that their free agency moves made much room for another edge rusher, but long term, that's a spot I want them to nail down.

[Mike Sixel]

People laughed at me when I said they would all go round one....

[Vanimal46]

We’re going to see some defense studs at 23… Fingers crossed Byron Murphy slides to 23!

Fantasy draft.

Man, it really goes to show how desperate teams are for a good QB. From a WAR perspective, the 14th best QB provides more value than Aaron Donald, multiple DPOY award winner. We’re seeing teams take their lottery ticket because it’s so valuable if the QB hits big. 

[gunnarthor]

Atlanta didn't tell Cousins?  Wow.

I would 100% give up a pick in 2025 to move up for him. 

Not sure how far the team could move up with the picks they have left this year.
