I think that KAMβs plan has been pretty clear for the past 26 months in lining up salary cap, with a QB change, starting in 2024 and moving forward.
There is a lot of buzz about a number of teams looking to trade up. Considering itβs the season of draft mis-direction; I think there are about 3 scenarios the Vikings are looking atβ¦
- The Vikings are in the drivers seat with two 1sts and the Vikings donβt βblinkβ and make their draft trade for a QB
- One of the top 5 draft pick trade partners bluff and get the Vikings to βblinkβ to overpay due to perceived competition
- Raiders, Broncos or Giants out-pay the Vikings offer and they are left scrambling
If the Vikings spend three 1stsβ¦ I donβt care as long as they get an actual franchise QB since itβs the far most important position in sports. But, if the Vikings lose out on their QB target I will be upset will be ready for a change at GM.

This 4 1st round picks traded is just crazy. I would have felt uncomfortable trading 4 1's for Williams let alone the other guys. 3 1's I guess I could see. I will say it on draft night if it happens that it is an overpay if the spend 3 1's on #4 or #5. 3 1's they have to get up to #2 or #3. 4 1's would be the biggest pay out ever and would put extreme pressure on the player, KOC, and the front office.

depends on how the draft plays out.
If they are willing to spend 3 1sts on McCarthy and NE takes Maye at 3 then it is not an overspend. It would be like saying it is fine to give 3 1sts to move up for Maye even if you don't want Maye but you cant do it for McCarthy at 4 because it is a slot later. Faulty logic IMO.
Identify your guy and try hard to get him. Leave yourself other options.
KAM left us one other option already. Darnold if we don't get anyone. It was a solid move.
My picks would be move up to 2 or 3 for Daniels.
Move up to 3 or 4 for McCarthy
Get Penix at 11 or move up a few spots to guarantee him if a run on QBs.
I would be fine with any of those scenarios and if it doesn't happen we keep KAM because you give GMs more time than he has had.

Penix stock rising theathletic.com/5440564/2024/04/24/nfl-draft-rumors-news-latest/Itβs been assumed the top four QBs are Williams, Daniels, Maye and McCarthy, but donβt be surprised if Penix enters the discussion come Thursday. Recently, Penix has benefited as many offensive assistant coaches have spent time studying University of Washington players, including the Huskiesβ starting offensive tackles and top three wide receivers. Though analysts and reporters have not mentioned his name at high volume over the last month, one GM told me, βHeβs the best-kept secret in this draft.β |
