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

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
