Rumor I last heard:  Minnesota.  Discuss.

Makes sense, following in Favre's footsteps. If Brett could pull of a come back as a Viking after a crappy Jets stint, then so can Aaron.  My question is why did they draft McCarthy in first round?  Did he have a rehab setback or is it a long recovery?  I'm not sure Aaron wants to go somewhere just for one season if McCarthy is the 2026 starter.

Why in God's name would the Vikings want Rodgers??? They just spent a top 10 pick on McCarthy and they're letting Darnold walk who played really well for them. Rodgers would've been exciting five years ago. Not so much now.

To your point:

If the Vikings are legitimately interested in Rodgers, it tells me that the team has real concerns about McCarthy being ready for the start of the season.

Re-signing Darnold just doesn't make sense for Darnold, even if he knows McCarthy won't be ready to start the season, as the Vikings wouldn't be signing him to a long term deal, which he can get this year, no reason to take another 1 year deal just to hope he plays well enough again to get it next year.

If the Vikings still believe in McCarthy but that he won't be ready for the start of the season, going with someone like Daniel Jones wouldn't really make a ton of sense either, not if they still want to compete for the division.  So yea, someone like Rodgers, who likely only has 1 year left anyways and already said he is open to mentoring a young QB, makes a ton of sense.

Except in your scenario Darnold on the tag makes a lot more sense than the ghost of what used to be Aaron Rodgers

Taking Rodgers doesn’t mean they are worried about McCarthy. He’s a rookie QB coming off of an ACL and Rodgers is a Hall of Famer you could pair with Addison, Jefferson, and O’Connell for a year, as well as Aaron Jones. That gives him a better offensive staff than he ever had in Green Bay.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
