Y'all are about my favorite posters here, so I thought I'd drop this note here. I'm leaving Twins Daily. Brock knows why.

At least we didn't use pick 65 on Carson freaking Beck.

Early draft crushes heading into the offseason...  SS Caleb Downs - He feels like vintage Harry the Hitman to me. QB Fernando Mendoza - He was impressive against a loaded Ohio State defense.

I didn't care for Golday because he can't cover. Didn't they just replace Ivan Pace with Ivan Pace?

Just a truly mind boggling pick given EMW is there.

Wilson probably will be gone after this year, and good chance Cahsman is too. 

But definitely my least favorite of the LB options that were realistically draftable there.

He's a good 5 inches taller and 20 pounds heavier (6'4 240 lbs). I had him at the end of Round 2, another top tier athlete who needs development time. Probably backs up in 2026 and takes over for Cashman in 2027. I think it's a fine pick, but CB/S had better values and players who can contribute now.

Glad you like him and hope he's not the liability in coverage that many think.

But outside of Center, I don't think there's a player left in the draft that would get a significant role this year. These coaches just don't tend to play rookies..

Greenard for two 3rds? Prior to the off season I might not have thought too hare about it.

How is Dexter Lawrence worth the 10th overall pick and Greenard is only worth two 3rds?

It's ok but I don't love the deal.  I'm high on Greenard.

So we moved Greenard for what is essentially a high 4th round pick and a next year 3rd. Not good value there... I was hoping for a 2nd rounder this year.

The last two days have really shown what a terrible decision it was not to hire a GM.

The offseason is when a GM does the MOST work.

Weird how other teams keep drafting starters......

Weak armed and easily rattled system QB. Reports were that for some reason, whichever LeFluer is now coaching the Cardinals was really pushing Jimmy Garoppolo to follow him to AZ. Seems like he got his Garoppolo after all.

WTF, the Eagles are drafting again? How in the hell didn't the Vikings at least get this pick instead of the one at the end of round 3?

When KOC and Brazynski came up with this no-GM plan, the Wilfs should have said, fine, but under no circumstances can you have a conversation with Howie Roseman.

And there you go, the Vikings go for a NT and have 3 starters in Redmond, Banks, and Orange. I had Big Citrus in Round 3 so I'm fine with that... but they've passed on some guys I really would have liked to take.

Like who?

Big fan of the d-line infusion.

Greenard signed a 4/$98 MM extension with Philly. Not even $25 million AAV and that's the sticker price which is not the reality of the contract. What the actual F are the Vikings doing?

Holy cow, skill position reaches are flying off of the board.  

Edit: Zavion Thomas isn't on anybody's board because he's a gadget WR, I don't think he even runs routes. I bet Ben Johnson and the Bears try to make him a satellite RB.

Shows how weak this draft class is

I wouldn't be surprised if the next two picks for the Vikings are reaches at RB and WR. There's a few I wouldn't say No to, but they never like to pick the players I want.

The 3rd round has been dumba$$ pick after dumba$$ pick.

He's #327 on my board, legitimately a kick return-only player. Not even a good college WR.

And then the 49ers blow yet another mid-round pick on a bad RB prospect in a bad RB class, maybe RB10-12 in this class. Every year they spend a significant pick on RB in round 3-5 and never use the guy. It's so bizarre.
