www.tankathon.com/nflThis site updates every week with the current draft order. Right now there are 6 teams with an 0-3 record, so we're firmly in the mix. I was cheering for a Bengals/Eagles the yesterday when I saw it went into OT, as an 0-2-1 record knocked both teams into the 7th and 8th spots in draft order. 1. Atlanta 2. NY Giants 3. Denver 4. Minnesota 5. NY Jets 6. Miami (from Houston) 7. Philadelphia 8. Cincinnati

Normally I think the tanking mindset is for losers and I prefer the dignity of scratching out a few wins and preserving some kind of winning culture. But these are not normal times. There is an off-the-charts QB prospect available and it is clear to everyone that Cousins will never rise to the level that is needed for anything more than the occasional "feel good" season of a moderate to deep playoff push that ultimately ends in humiliating defeat.

Fields will also be a highly ranked qb as well as the Minnesota kid from ndsu if the ever get to play.

that damn 2nd round pick we traded for Ngakoue is looming pretty damn large right now. We almost HAVE to extend him to justify it.

and 5 out of 8 of those teams aren't taking QB's. I can see Minny, ATL and the Jets considering it.

Denver could easily take a QB and I would not put Philly out of the question. Wence has had health issues and he has cooled off greatly. |

I think the only way that Minnesota gets a Top-2 selection is if Cousins gets hurt & Mannion has to play. They have enough talent on the roster to catch lightning in a bottle for a few games and play themselves out of the top of the draft board. The schedule also gets easier, for the most part, as the season goes on.
I'm not rooting for injuries or anything here, just giving my thoughts.

I've never been a firm believer in tanking but this year is very, very, very tempting.
Just imagining a new Vikings world with no Spiel; no Zimm; a Trevor Lawrence at QB; and a new GM & Coach that believe in an offensive line.
Oh crap. Just woke up.

I donโt see where they have to tank the formula is basically the same for beating this football team run until the safeties have to come out coverage then hit the young corners deep. Defense make Cousins read and hold unto the football or bull rush up the middle and Make him move in the pocket. Heโs terrible when he has to go off script

Elway loves Lock and he's played well when given the chance. I don't think the Eagles draft a QB before giving Hurts a fair shot. and 5 out of 8 of those teams aren't taking QB's. I can see Minny, ATL and the Jets considering it. Lawrence is going #1 if we are not #1 and we want him we will have to pay a kings ransom... Denver could easily take a QB and I would not put Philly out of the question. Wence has had health issues and he has cooled off great |

For all the posts about other crappy teams that aren't looking to draft a QB, you are missing the obvious: they will simply trade down to QB needy teams and collect a nice haul. So yes, they are still huge threats to us in the draft order. Even a team like the Bengals, who just took Burrow and are very happy with him, are still problematic if they get ahead of us on the draft board.

What happened to the thread? Only way I can find it is by going to "participated" It says it is in Archives but it is not visible.
At this point people must realize it is a real possibility

As long as we don't fire Zimmer before the season ends and we keep Cousins healthy it's a good possibility
