JJ's press conference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKi2ck51EDE I was watching that and thinking either McCarthy is shorter than advertised or O'Connell is tall. I looked it up and O'Connell is tall, whew, McCarthy not a shrimp. McCarthy handles himself well, I always think of what I'd have been...

Dallas Turner Presser.

JJ's press conference.

Haven't posted on this board in quite a while. Love what I'm seeing from this semi rebuild. Andrew Van Ginkel AND Dallas Turner on the edge. That's quite the combo. I'm excited to see the 21st century version of the purple people eaters. Let's see who they get for the Alan Page/John Randle role. Lo...

What a first round. KOC got his quarterback … AND Flores got his game-wrecking edge. I don’t give a damn about value charts. Kwesi killed it. Exactly. Most of the Mock Draft world had the Vikings moving up and giving the 11th, 23rd, and next year's 1st to get him. Instead they just have to burn a 4...

One 4th rounder plus 2 x 6th and 2 x 7th is all we have left.

Yeah, but it's worth it. McCarthy and Turner should be difference makers. Later picks are usually just bodies.

You really need to look into McCarthy more than you have. His stats were sensational just not high volume. He was very strong in pressure situations. I'm so glad we took Addison last year instead of Levis and got JJ this year. What if it meant getting Levis last year, then Odunze this year? Kwesi d...

Here's an excellent evaluation of the Turner Pick. They only give it a B grade because of the high price we paid to get him, but they also call him the best defender in the draft. 17. Minnesota Vikings (via Jacksonville): Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama Strengths: Lightning-quick, fluid defender off th...

I love this Bleacher Report evaluation of JJ. 10. Minnesota Vikings (via New York Jets): JJ McCarthy, QB, Michigan Strengths: Nifty movement skills inside and outside of pocket, drives ball over middle of the field and outside the numbers, works well within pro-style structure, pressure doesn't faze...

Why? If you wait until you have nothing on the roster it's too late. He will need to sit a couple years so what. That's how you stop having nothing at QB. He'll make a great backup for a few seasons. Packers have been doing that for basically 1/2 a century. They just click the switch. We sit around...

I've been studying up on the draft for a couple months now and Turner was 9 times out of 10 the first defender taken. He is a defensive QB sacking machine.

I take all the credit or blame for us drafting McCarthy due to wearing my Michigan Polo for the draft . I'm super excited about getting him with very little more than just pick 11. He is a great prospect and might be that elusive franchise QB.

Turner was considered by most the best defender in the draft. Well worth it.

Vikings gave up a #### to trade up for Turner.

Vikings trade up one pick too late.
I bet it's Turner.
