I hope not in the NFL Picture for this year it had Darnold and Maye up front the new Picture has Kamara and Waddle of the Dolphins are at the front

Saints? Super Bowl? Just can't see that happening. But, I would've said the same thing about the Seahawks and definitely the Patriots this time last year too.

I just saw this I really hope we don't have a Saints/Dolphin Superbowl he is saying Malik might go to the Dolphins and look at the picture

It has GOT to be awkward in that Vikings front office right now. You won 14 games with Darnold just to let him walk to hand the reins over to McCarthy who looked like absolute trash while Darnold turns around and wins the SB. Oof. Everyone clowns on the Jets and Panthers for the Darnold stuff but he didn't play well at those stops. He DID play well for the Vikings. The Jets and Panthers decided to move on from a bust that wasn't working out. The Vikings decided to move on from a guy who was playing at a legit good starting QB level to go with the guy they drafted to be their future. They're the ones who made the bold move with Darnold. The Jets and Panthers did what pretty much every team would do in that situation. Yeah, they failed organizationally around Darnold but they didn't choose to move on from a good QB.

I’m here haha. The 2 most coveted spots are QB and a premiere Pass Rusher. I have a hard time seeing him go outside the top-5, definitely not outside the top-10. It shows how highly they’re thought of when Mykel Williams and Shemar Stewart go as high as they did. Bain would’ve easily been ahead of them and Carter last year.

The only counter point is a legit pass rusher will make Derrick Brown and the rest of our defense way better. I think they sat Crosby last year. Of course the price can't get insane but he'd make a huge difference

We gonna start giving out gold medals for doing push-ups and polishing boots, too?!?

You’ve got some safe picks at LB and Edge at 19, unfortunately DT as well (sigh). Monroe Freeling is the home run or strikeout option. 16 game starter, limited tape, but it’s good against high level competition. You’ve got a chance to pick a guy who just has a foundation built for his game, but it’s solid, sky is the limit, but 16 games isn’t a lot of proof. If he hits it’s huge for the future, with the Ickey injury, with Moton at the end of his career.

You can't just say stuff without reasoning. What exactly could the attorney say that would place fault on the officers in this situation, when it will ALL be on the dash cam? Respectfully, it feels like you are just overlooking the details and just assuming because he is an athlete, it will be okay. This isn't an ordinary DV situation. This isn't he said, she said situation. He hit a cop with his car. And it was on camera. That literally happened. Realistically, how could the cops be blamed? Yes, I get it. Athletes get a lot of leeway with crime. But this isn't going to be one of those situations. Feel free to come back to this thread a year from now and throw it in my face if I'm wrong. But he's 100% going to eat at least one or two of the charges.

Agreed that I highly doubt he falls out of the top 5 unless some character issues or bad medical history arises.

Last thing we need to do is be trading up in the 1st round of this draft, unless we are talking like 1 or 2 spots if somebody good like Styles falls. I can very easily see a good talent like Peter Woods being there at 19. I would like it if we trade back in the draft to the late 20s (a QB needy team might want to trade up to our spot and take Ty Simpson) and take Mesidor. I know he is old, but I think he might be one of the best edge rushers in the draft and would arguably be top 10 if he was 21 or 22.

Hate to ruin the vet QB idea but were stuck with Dalton next year as our backup. His 5.8 mill contract is basically entirely guaranteed. We cannot cut him therefore he will be on the roster next year, if we had a surplus of cap I could see us making the move but we simply are middle of the pack in cap and have glaring holes on defense that need to be addressed. Mark my words its a slim to zero chance we sign another vet qb for a vet standard 5-10 mill backup contract. Drafting a rookie is definitely in play in the later rounds, and could be a cheap contract to be the QB3 this year and take over QB2 the rest of their rookie contract. Would be nice to have a backup QB that could play in short yardage packages, would be interesting to see a player like Taylen Green in the 6-7th round to get a developmental prospect and our rushing short yardage QB option starting next year.

My guess: Jets, Dolphins, Browns, Steelers will be very interested in Willis. Falcons (if they think Penix isn't the answer) and Vikings (if they think JJ isn't the answer) could possibly be interested.

There is no way this nasty motherfuger is on the board at 11. And if he were, we better trade up. It’s not like football with Bain, it’s a shotgun blast or a car crash, pure havoc. No one man should have all that power. He goes pick 2 or 4 and this is a non story.

The half-dressed guy who got on the field had more yards than the Pats.

Not sure I want to pay a king's ransom for him. Back to back years now where he has missed games because of injury (yes, I know it is debatable that the Raiders intentionally benched him to tank this season). Would I love to have him, sure. Is 1 very good pass rusher gonna make us a Superb Owl contender, no.

For free agent QBs, I think you have to look at a cheap vet. Mariota would be ideal, but I could see him being pretty costly. Tyrod Taylor is somebody I wouldn't mind. Trubisky and Zach Wilson are also worth a look.

I suspect that too but McCarthy Should be interested.

Yeah you never see an attorney try to blame the cops for anything.

they are moving to the side where weed is illegal.

I just can’t believe he was a 1st rounder. Albeit pick 32 but ooof. Who knows, maybe he turns it around but there’s something that is so off with him.its his whole games… His pace, lack of short area quickness, poor awareness, a lot of stuff that going into year 3 is pretty much make or break. It’s wild because our FO seemed soo intent on the guy but he really doesn’t fit with the team well. I just don’t see a guy that positive when you put him in. You hold your breath when he’s the first or second read.

good point. 6.5 it is but if they roll Yosh out there week 1 as LT then I get the opportunity to move it down

I would be indifferent to the trade honestly. Unless we’re landing a 3-down guy somehow via trade, edge rusher is a huge hole that has a trickle effect when bad/good. Critical position, so if we think there’s a legit immediate starter talent then it is tempting. Gut says to stand pat and target an ILB if value aligns. But I have a strong inkling that and OL are getting addressed at minimum FA. Problem is, edge rusher is sparse as hell in FA. If Bain is within reach, I wouldn’t be mad. But I always prefer an even pick package swap. IE send a 1st, 3rd, gain a higher 1st, 5th type thing.

The Hornets should have been more aggressive about the Center position at the trade deadline. Instead we're making moves like giving Connaughton another contract.

One of the victims is the cop. How are they going to blame him? Again, this isn't a he-said, she-said situation. He assaulted a professional athlete and a police officer. And all of it is on camera. There is only so much an attorney can do when the evidence is on tape.
