Draft Day Discussion

[Cliff]

Lots of good defensive players left.

[psjordan]

All the QB's,WR's and OT's selected so far are doing great things for our #23 pick. We are going to get a real potential stud anywhere on D or even at C.

[VikingsVictorious]

I am so freaking happy.

[VikingsVictorious]

I think a fourth and fifth. Not that bad. They still keep the 23rd pick, so good going, getting what they want without paying a steep price. Also I think good that they can let McCarthy sit for a while behind Darnold.

People ragging on Kwesi for this need to just stop. There was a ton of speculation that the Vikings would trade away 11, 23 and a first next year to take McCarthy at either 4 or 5. To get him at 10 and keep 23? That's good work.

I said we didn't need to trade up for McCarthy. I guess I was wrong. One spot LOL. Seriously I was on record being OK to trade up to 8.

Hoping for DeJean or Murphy at 23. I don’t think Murph will make it

I'm hoping for Turner at this point...

[VikingsVictorious]

See above. I'm listening to radio in Denver, they are crushed that Vikings got McCarthy.

I’M crushed the Vikings got Mccarthy. I’ll be mad for a week, then start watching the highlight reels of him throwing 3 passes a game at Michigan when the opposing defense was keying on the dominant run game, then I’ll get mad again. And then maybe a month from now I’ll start drinking the Kool Aid. I’m a glass half full guy at heart, I just need some time. Like it or not, he’s our guy now… so I’m rooting for him! All he does is win, right? ….. right?!

He didn't pass a lot, but when he did he was sensational. Right up there with Nix. And he's so young. He has so much room to improve. You should be thrilled we got him for practically free.

[VikingsVictorious]

Murphy gone. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[VikingsVictorious]

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

[psjordan]

Holy cow! Turner looks peeved he had to wait that long - I love it!

Yup Dallas Turner

[VikingsVictorious]

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

[Cliff]

They really invested in the 1st round this year. I'm guessing that cost them the other 4th.

Haven't seen one of the big names report it yet. Early chatter on twitter is:

#23
2024 5th (this year)
2025 3rd
2025 4th

to get the #17 this year

I think our FO is figuring on the compensatory picks we'll gain next year. And maybe very low probability we'll get some comp for Kirk's ATL tampering. I LOVE the trade, I think Turner will be an absolute stud and that we had zero shot at him.

Turner is a top 10 talent and exactly the type of player Flores will maximize, so while they gave up quite a bit to get him I'm ecstatic they got him.

Also fine with the move to get McCarthy. I think the Falcons spooked them with Penix at 8 (puzzling move to say the least) but I think the Vikings got who they wanted at QB and an immediate impact edge player on the defense.
