Vikings tried to trade up for Bryce Young?

Recommended Posts

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

    • The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.  
    • I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.
    • lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
