The Jayden Daniels comment makes no sense. Last year, they were 4-13. How does he set them back further for a decade. If he is terrible and makes them worse, they just draft a new QB in the top 2 in 3-4 years. If that guys busts, they are simply stuck in neutral another 3-4 years- which still...
This case history undercuts your future arguments. Bradshaw was the first overall pick in 1970, after they were terrible in 1969. They did not pass on a QB, because the team was bad. They got their QB of the future when they had a chance. The improved, but were non competitive, the next two...
I think he actually finally did some homework. At first he was “We should be like the 49ers” then he realized they had mixed picks and were bad for a long time:
2016 1.7 DeForest Buckner (good pick, traded for a first)
2017 1.3 Solomon Thomas
2017 1.31 Reuben Foster (cut after 2 years)
2018...
This has been addressed- you keep things as they are. This happens in baseball and hockey regularly when you draft a HS player: they will have options other than going to your team. Thus, part of your decision to draft someone in those sports is that you must factor in the likelihood of you...
No one is forcing an NFL team to draft him.
He isn’t trying to circumvent the CBA. He is utilizing the specific language to his advantage. Sanders is saying that if my son doesn’t get drafted to team he wants to play for, he will sit out for a year and re-enter the draft. That is following the...
He has tons of family money and a rich dad who doesn’t want him to play for some teams and is willing to support him if he waits a year. That is a lot of leverage.
Sanders could sit out one draft and re-enter the next year. The Sanders family has plenty of money. Elway and Bo Jackson both used that leverage as well.
So you think they guys who do the incredible things that we love to watch, who put their bodies and brains on the line, who forgo normal old age with CTE and broken knees should have less power?
Teams trade stud Wr’s all the time.
Randy Moss, AJ Brown, Tyreek Hill, Stefan Diggs, Davante Adams and Amari Cooper all say Hi.
The position they don’t trade is stud healthy QB’s- with the exception of Matthew Stafford- who has rarely been seen as a top 3 QB in the league.
Not sure why a trade down seems like a given. The Vikings could just as easily trade with the Commanders or Chargers. I think the whole trade down idea and taking a QB is FF infecting people’s brains. If you think there is a guy who will start during his cheap rookie deal annd earn a second...
If the deal is as initially reported, 1 year, 4M guaranteed and incentives could make it 6 then that is a good deal, drops and all. Unlike many wr’s on the roster, he is a legitimate NFL wr.
He had a horrible drop in the January 2023 playoff game against the giants and that seemed to dog him all this season. I do t remember as many drops before. Hopefully, he can let go of that and get back on track.
I have watched a lot KJ Osborn and I think he is younger, better Josh Reynolds. My son is a huge Vikings fan and I have probably seen 30 Vikings games on TV as well as the playoff loss to the GIants in person.
Pluses: He can get open a lot against a weaker/slot coverage. Through his footwork...
It is not nearly the same value as QB. Historically, very few top QB’s are traded while they are top QB’s. Stafford was traded, but the Lions lost a lot of games, and he had never led them to a playoff win.
You can trade for a top WR. Off the top of my head- Randy Moss (Vikings 1.0) was traded...
No. If the Chargers approached Chicago, the Commanders and the patriots about trading Herbert- the question would be - what else are you sending in addition to this years pick. The conversation would not be- Hebert and what else for the pick. Take off your Patriots goggles for 5 seconds.
