this team is going nowhere. Yes, the turnovers killed us and we'll probably clean that up but where does that get us? 6-7 wins? This team is not contending with our O line and front 7 on D. So does it really matter if we win 3-4 games or 6-7? The consensus seems to be that this is the best QB class in years and we need one. Kirk isn't coming back at 36 years old and his salary. Let's get a top 5 pick and land a QB.
Kirk, Hunter and Harry aren't going to be here next year. Maybe we can move them for picks before the trade deadline. We need draft picks to rebuild our depth. Those guys will be tough to move because of their salaries but a contending team might make the move for 1/2 a seasons cap hit.
When Harry comes off the book, we'll have about $60mm in cap space. Some of that will go to JJ on a new deal but we should have enough to sign 3 impactful guys for the lines. Get a QB in rd 1 and use the rest of the draft to fill holes across the roster.
Losing 12-14 games will suck but I'm tired of being stuck in this loop of mediocrity.
Of course, this all depends on KAM being able to use his cap and draft capital to get the right players and I have huge doubts but running it back has run its course.

This is not the best class in years that was '21. This '23 Vikings team is nowhere near as bad as the "20 team that started 0-5. That was the year to tank.

'21 really? Maybe that was consensus before the draft but besides Lawrence none of the 1st rd QBs have amounted to much.

Lawerence had a national championship win and took his team to another. He was the best QB prospect since Luck and some said he was better. Same will be said of the 24 QBs, most will be busts.

I hope Drake has a Marino like free fall so he will be there when we pick.
