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. 

That was my feeling, until you have one, keep taking them.

Atlanta didn't tell Cousins?  Wow. 

Ha, awesome. I hope it's a big fat unexpected disaster.

And if you don't, keep trying. It is the cheat code to winning.

Like he can keep a secret.

Saw this on Twitter and got a laugh 

 

[Mike Sixel]

The best defensive player is still sitting in the green room. Unreal

[nicksaviking]

More offense. This is insane.

There can't be another offensive pick. The OT Mims and WR Thomas are like end of the 1st round values per just about everybody and they're the next best guys.

[nicksaviking]

No way Murphy slips past the Rams right? They're going to see him as an Aaron Donald replacement I'd think.

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?

Hey .  Didnt trade up to get

How does CBS Sports reconcile this I wonder:

[Mike Sixel]

Barton, powers Johnson, or defense next for Minnesota?

I want front seven defensive players, but only true DL players have any room to play this year. So, yeah, interior OL seems like a real option coming up.

 

[nicksaviking]

What the heck, another trade up?!?!?! I wanted Murphy but what are we getting here?

[nicksaviking]

Also, they thankfully have cut off Schefter.

[nicksaviking]

Dang!!! I'll take it!

[nicksaviking]

Traded a 5th this year, a 3rd and 5th next year. 

Fine by me, quality over quantity.

[Vanimal46]

Kwesi is COOKING! Love the pick of Turner. The rest of the draft is late round darts then I hope they go wild in UDFA. 

[gunnarthor]

Turner this late is a steal.

Yeah, can't judge the results of the draft yet obviously, but I'm way more excited than the last two. I had thought a 'rebuild' draft would look completely different than a 'keep the boat floating' draft.

For sure. Had the Vikings not gotten a QB at 11 (10) Murphy than Turner would have been my choices.

A+ draft. The anti spielman draft. If you'd have been told this before the draft, you would not have believed it.

No one has hit the field yet.  A+ ?

Nope, I was on a roller coaster today reading different reports. This is pretty close to best case scenario.

So much better than the passive, trade back and take what's given to you approach if there's actual guys you like. I'm fine grading on effort now and grading on results later. 

[Parfigliano]

Kwesi is GM. Always grade on results.

Then I guess you might as well hold off on opinions of this years class until next year.

So you won't comment until week 17?

[Danchat]

Was busy with a party, but wow! Only had to move up to #10 to get McCarthy, and then another aggressive move to land Turner. And in the top 20 picks only the Vikings have moved up? Twice?! Weird.

The Penix to Atlanta pick blew my mind... never in a million years would I have predicted that. Makes zero sense, Penix can replace Cousins in 2026 when he's 26?! What?!

[nicksaviking]

So we have a long time until the next pick so I figure if I post my prediction now and nail it, I'll earn bonus points. 

Sataoa Laumea. Interior OL. Mark me down.
