Stefanski is gonna be quick to move on from him too. The 2024 draft wasn’t gonna go 6 for 6 on 1st round QB hits. McCarthy and Penix look like the early busts of that class.
-
Today is DBs and TEs working out. Guys I’m keeping an eye on… Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq and S Thieneman (visited with Vikes) The Toledo safety that’s been mocked to us a couple of times S Caleb Downs
-
My hope is we see Walker Jenkins called up in early May, or whatever the date is that gains another year of control. -
Chris Johnson was one of my early draft crushes. Glad to see he's met with the Vikings as well.
-
Those lineups are just begging for any one of Jenkins, Rodriguez, Gonzalez, and Culpepper to come up and take a spot. There's a reason Larnach was pushed to full time DH last year... We saw a Larnach - Buxton - Wallner OF 2 years ago and it was not good. It's not going to be any better in 2026 with Buxton's declining abilities in CF.
-
Couldn't have said it better myself. Anthony Richardson isn't pushing anyone for a starting role in this league. If he wants to prolong his NFL career after this season, he should learn how to play TE or WR.
-
You can say that again... He just had the best scouting combine performance ever for a LB. Are we sure his Ohio State teammate Arvell Reese should be drafted ahead of Styles? That's the question I would ask the draft experts in the media. Since hybrid safety/LB roles are becoming more valuable in the NFL, I'd rather have this athletic freak than a traditional edge rusher like Reese.

Twins Add Zak Kent to Bullpen Mix with Waiver Claim

This changes everything -
Vikings have met with him in Indy
-
Not really… shortest arms since 1999
-
Oh no… I was really excited about him
-
Oh baby... He just might go top 10.

Spring training game thread: week of Feb 21
Vanimal46 replied to mrtwinsfan's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I've never heard of a mid 20 year old player getting hurt running the bases as much as Royce Lewis. It really is something. -
This is going to be a major problem for Bain and spark a lot of debate... Do you trust the tape enough that he can overcome T-Rex arms in the NFL?
-
If the foot injuries are behind Caleb Banks, we should seriously consider him at 18. Hell, he might go before 18 if the medicals are clean.
-
His nickname is Big Citrus. I'm in on that.
-
There was a lot of steam about us wanting to trade up for Drake Maye too. I'm sure KOC had a few of "his guys" just like me throwing out I like Hunter, Banks, and McDonald at DT. What changed? McCarthy getting hurt and getting his mechanics all out of sorts. It could also be having experience with him in the building for 2+ years. I've hired a couple of people who told me everything I want to hear in the interview, good resume, and ended up not working out.
-
KOC could have bought in on McCarthy during the draft process, but going all-in on him after he missed the whole season with a significant knee injury was bizarre. In hindsight, it's pretty clear who pushed ahead with the plan of building a roster around a rookie scale contract QB. He's now in San Francisco just sitting around in their building. Role and job title TBD. I assume KOC is not an idiot and thought McCarthy was ready for primetime last season given what we saw with our own eyes.
-
Very smart of the 49ers to keep Kwesi away from anything draft related
-
Me too... We had the solution in Sam Darnold and let him walk out of the building like it was nothing.
-
I agree and that's easy to say as a lifelong fan. I assume KOC likes his job here and wants to keep it. He's gonna get fired if the QB room isn't upgraded from the previous season.
-
I'm not trading for him and that current contract he's on. I'm waiting until Arizona cuts him loose because no one is trading for that contract. Then sign him cheap a la Russ Wilson contract with the Steelers after he was cut by Denver with a ton of guaranteed money.
-
Derek Carr is probably the floor of veteran player who's an upgrade over McCarthy...
-
I get it, but options aren't great this offseason and I anticipate them acquiring someone who will either be the outright starter or legitimately push McCarthy for the starting job. Jimmy G might as well be Sean Mannion during the Kirko Chainz years. He's lower on the list than Carson Wentz IMO.
-
Their intention is going to be pretty clear in a couple weeks. If I had to make a guess today who the week 1 starter is in 2026, I would guess Kyler Murray after Arizona releases him. He’s the most realistic option and a clear upgrade over JJ today.
