NFL Network Insider Tom Peliseero revealed on the Pat McAfee Show (with Ian Rapoport filling in as host) on Wednesday morning that Minnesota was making the attempt to swap with the Carolina Panthers, all to nab the first overall pick.

 

“They were making calls about moving up very high in the draft,” Pelissero explained. “But my understanding is that was for one player, and that was Bryce Young, who ended up going No. 1, and so there went any possibility for Minnesota to go get him.”

Minnesota eventually took Jaren Hall at No. 164 overall on the draft’s final day. Pelissero didn’t add what the Vikings were willing to surrender to land at the top spot of the draft. But the team has had notable names like quarterback Kirk Cousins, running back Dalvin Cook, and outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith as trade candidates during the offseason.

I doubt either of those players would have moved the needles much.

Would’ve been funny to see everyone complaining about losing DJ Moore to then get Justin Jefferson.

That’s the only thing they have valuable enough to get up to #1 unless they were willing to do 5+ firsts.

Yeah, mediocre qb or injury prone rb anyone? We just traded CMC; don't need the jv version of that back.   Sounds like the clear consensus was Bryce Young no. 1.  Houston blew it.

A lot of post-draft reports of Bryce being the apple of every QB-needy team's eyes. Which makes sense. So glad we got him and screw the size nonsense this dude is gonna be an absolute stud. Peyton Manning 2.0

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
