Texans trade Vikings the #23 pick and a seventh to get Vikings #42, a 2025 second, and a sixth…

Yeah, this is a pretty head scratching trade for both sides. You almost never see trades like this made until you know who's available. You're gonna feel like a jackass if you're the Texans and #21 comes up and there's a guy you had rated as a top 10 prospect sitting there. Seems like a safer bet for the Vikings, honestly. Gotta be thinking that there's no way you make this trade unless you're DAMN sure there's gonna be a guy who you think is worth it there.

Exactly. They didn't even wait for the opportunity to see which players would be available. Seems like a trade that should have happened on draft day.

Unless the Vikes are staying aggressive and now looking to use two first and next years to move up very high.

Yes, it makes sense for the Vikings. But why would the Texans make that deal?

My guess is teams may not view a dip between 12-45ish this year. They maintain that, get ann extra flyer, and gain a second next year.

I see a big drop off early and then a lot of similar value for a bit. Not a deep first but decent late 1st to 3rd talent pool this year.

I really don't get this move by the Vikings. Why trade away assets to move up when you are still not gonna be able to get any of the top 3 guys in Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels because it's pretty much a lock that all of them will go in the first 3 picks with MHJ going at 4. I mean are they really gonna package 11 and 23 and probably more to get to 5 to jump the Giants for jj mccarthy?

Maybe packaging a deal to trade for Herbert?

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
