For example look at this proposed trade.  I personally would be upset and wouldn't agree with it unless it's for a devante Adam's caliber player.  We're already missing a 1st in 2024 and a 2nd in 2025, you want to cripple those drafts even further by more unknown caliber wrs??

You can acquire players cheaper in season than you can in the off-season. If the right player who can be a legitimate long term piece is there for the right price then go ahead and make a trade. But they shouldn’t go fireselling their own guys.

it’s a quick hit of dopamine for the fanbase to see the endless hope of a DRAFT PICK (while the player in question goes and becomes and MVP candidate) before reality comes missiling back to earth the following season when mid round picks play like mid round picks

This, people value pics a bit too much, once you're outside that top 15ish, the odds go down. 

If you're gonna trade, trade for LEGIT guys, and not fillers. And don't trade your best players for pics hoping to replace that All Pro talent when you could've just kept them. 

We need to ADD talent not jettison it. Hit FA, and I'd consider trading back at the top of Rd 2, to add a couple more middle round picks to address depth.

Depends on who we are getting and what we are giving up. I wish we did what the Falcons did for Jefferson. It was like a 6th/7th swap. I even kind of like some of the Sutton trade suggestions. It was like a 5th and future 6th. Basically late picks for an average WR or higher picks if it’s truly a great young WR which typically aren’t available.

This. The only players available at this point are from bad teams ready to fire sale or problem pieces on decent teams. Good teams are nosing around the potential fire sales and bad teams are trying to figure if they can get above market value from a team trying to find that key piece to make a run. It's not hard to figure out which group we fall into.

We need way more than just a wr we are 0-6 for a reason so why give up more draft capital that we really honestly don't have....

We have WRs on this team they are the best at what they do or they would not be in the NFL it comes down to coaching and play calling so if the coaches can't coach or coaches can't call the right plays they don't need to be here....

I miss the days of building through the draft and resigning our own players not this trading all of our draft picks for someone that won't work out, you have a better chance of drafting a great player than getting a super star from another team because who is to say he will do the same thing here with our play calling and after getting his payday....

I don't really have a problem with trading for guys if the deal is right. We used a second rounder on TMJ and he hasn't ever got over 500 yards so it doesn't really make sense to me to be against giving up a 3rd or 4th rounder for someone like Jeudy who has had 900 yards (give or take) a couple of times.

That's not to say I want Jeudy because there's clearly some issues there and his salary is probably more than you'd want to pay, but generally speaking trading for that sort of standard of player wouldn't be an issue for me. What are the chances of getting a 900 yards receiver with a 3rd round pick in the draft?

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.

      So you are just going by what these analysts are saying. So if come draft time they say Ward/Sanders is worth pick 1 you should be good. The future draft QB class is always going to be projected as the next great thing until these young players start playing the game and scouts can see some flaws. Think of all of the high school phenoms that didn’t look as good in college.  If Manning does turn out to be the next great prospect only one team gets to draft him. Odds are someone else could get the top pick, especially if go all in on building a supporting roster. I’m never going to be a just wait another year guy, because there are so many variables. If our staff loves Ward/Sanders then we should just draft them with our pick. It’s as simple as that. I also might go with Hunter over TMac as WR1 in this class.  The roster has the OL to help a young QB, young weapons in Coker, XL, and JT to grow with a QB, and a RB who can catch in Brooks as a safety net for a young QB. Sign a vet WR, extend BC and our offense would be set outside of depth. Let our young offensive core go through their growing pains while we iron out the defense. It’s definitely a path forward.
