Your solution for the QB situation?

[drectors cut]

Not one of the options, but I would try and trade down in the first to get a 2nd rounder back. Draft some OL and role with Darnold. Also, if possible trade CMC for another 1st. I would draft OL with our first 3 picks, getting a LT, G, and C. Get them some experience their rookie years.

Then when we end up with the 1oa we can have our pick of the QBs in next years class and we should have a decent OL to put them behind. 

I wouldn't go and spend money on any OL FA's until next offseason with this scenario.

Option 5 would be my first choice. Then option 2.

..I like 5 with Minshew only... option 2 would be Jimmy G turning into Sammy D....  Option one would set us back years especially if Watson got hurt.... he hasnt played in nearly 2 years... Fit said he wasnt gonna force it... he's lying .... none of those options will save fatboy rhule.... but they're gonna try anyway.

For 2022:

-mediocre cheap FA backup to the Darnold tank commander (Mullens/Dalton) or a 3rd-5th rounder IE Zappe/Glass)

-#6 OL or Garrett Wilson

-minimum 1-2 more OLs in draft 

-minimum 1 FA OL signing (proven starter for once)

2023: Jake Haener or CJ Stroud

because I started the thread, create you own if you want other options.

Actually I tend to agree with you and if I had my way I would have him go with Darnold and just start over next year but like i said that isn't looking like it is going to happen.  So the point of the thread was what would people prefer out of the options that are looking more likely.

So basically if you can't get your way what other option would you like of the ones listed.

Build the oline 2022

run it back with Darnold and get a top 5 pick

Pick Stroud, Van Dyke or whoever the hell you think is a top qb.  Roll with a qb on a rookie deal with a revamped oline in 2023

 

This isnt hard

6. Trading down would be ideal, but I don’t see any takers in this draft. Outside if that I’m good with either cheap FA or Willis.

let's ignore the fact I listed 6 choices, but next time I'll explain it a little more clearly 

The fact that you listed 6 choices does not make it my choice.  Maybe next time you should think about your thread title before you get all pissy with members on here because you didn't get what you were fishing for.

6. Move back take IOL in first. Sign another IOL in FA. Draft Carson Stong in second. 
 

[grimesgoat]

my preference.

trade back with philly: 6 for 16, 51, 83.

Greene (G) or Penning (T) at 16.  Strong at 51.  Tyler Smith  (T) at 83.

If we're being smart about this, the BEST move is retain Cam because Jimmy G, and Kirk C are not vaulting us to ''playoff'' caliber teams. When was the last time the Vikings were in the playoffs, two years, or was it three years ago with Diggs? Looking at SF they have one of the better running games in the NFL, a top two TE, and an Deebo solidifying himself; add to that a great defensive front (Bosa, Armstead, Greenlaw, Warner) -- we can't boast that atm. 

So that brings you back to why waste draft capital on a guy that isn't a ''difference'' maker? Cam is the bridge QB if he returns, Sam becomes tradeable while we eat cap space. Sign some real quality OL, and let Brady man the LT spot and give the team a puncher's chance with a vet QB in Cam WHO has won in this league, and have the rookie (Willis my preference over Pitts due to upside) waiting and learning, and if / when the team is out of playoff contention the rookie closes out the season, and we keep all our picks heading into 2023.

  We need to give this Darnold guy another shot....it might end up being his best rookie season yet!

The man is still younger than Joe Burrow after all.
