Could Minnesota trade up to #1??

This is one of the teams I could see trading into the #1 spot. There are a LOT of QB hungry teams early in the draft like the Bengals, Bills, Cardinals, 49ers, Titans, and Redskins, all potentially waiting to snap up a QB early in the draft. I'd put the Cardinals and 49ers at the top of that list. Minnesota is sitting at #12 and in all likelihood the best two QB's in the draft, Cam Newton and Blaine Gabbert, will be gone. Not sure if they'd consider a trade to #1, but if they were sold on one of the QB prospects, I could see them doing it. No team is more desperate for a QB this offseason than the Vikings.

But hell, no football next year is looking more and more likely, so there could be no trades at all.

I don't see them spending so much to move up for Cam, since he's just a bigger, inexperienced version of Jackson.

I don't see anyone moving up to #1 for Gabbert.

I can see them making a move for Palmer. They have gone after big names more than once.

To piggyback on these thoughts, Minnesota has a lot of needs. Moving up to trade with us would take more than their entire draft. They don't have a third rounder either.

I don't see Palmer because I don't see Minnesota having anything Cincy needs or wants. I see Palmer possibly coming to Carolina as part of a deal to get the first pick, but not without a CBA.

My guess: Minnesota will trade for or sign Donovan McNabb.

Forgot about McNabb. I could see them going after him over Palmer. And you're right. Minnesota is getting old in a lot of spots and need to rebuild. Their win now window closed last season.

At least the Panthers have Clausen, or would rather have Tavaris Jackson and Joe Webb...?

Apples/Oranges I guess

Both had better QB ratings than Clawsome.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.

      This is the right move even if you think Bryce isn't the future. Everything except signing him to a long term deal until proven otherwise. There's a decent chance we have a shot to draft a QB next year that we like.

      If we're still bad enough that Canales gets fired, especially if it's during the season, there is no way we could ever attract any HC worthy of the job if we told them they had to keep Bryce their first year. That would be 2 coaches he's gotten fired and 4 years of not performing up to par. I still say replace both of them next offseason.  I like Canales the man and I think he's done an absolutely outstanding job at fixing our locker room issues, as it was really bad before he showed up.  But I just don't see it from him with his in game decision making, I think he's held us back just as much as Bryce has, just in different ways. Canales was our Dan Campbell, the coach you hire to turn the franchises culture around for the HC after them to inherit and take to the next level.   The difference was he had some elite coordinators early on and really let him focus on his "leader of men" role as opposed to the X's and O's that Canales does himself and it's turned out well for him.
