Take Maye or McCarthy at 3. Its simple
That’s my desired outcome.
Leaving day 1 with one of the those guys.

Exactly.
If you have Maye and McCarthy ranked equal you take the picks and high five.
This draft is stocked in the middle rounds with Wr and defensive talent.
Plus you could use the picks to trade back up and if you really like a player or two.
This is how I would run the draft.
Force either Arizona or LA to take 3 for Harrison Jr.

I am OK with that as well!Take Maye or Daniels at 3, it’s simple.
Wolf isn’t really an inexperienced GM.I'd be stunned if Maye/Daniels are not a Patriot by the end of draft night.
I think everything from the front office is a smoke screen. And they probably have McCarthy rated below Maye/Daniels.
I also have to wonder if Minnesota, maybe others, are going to try to take advantage of an inexperienced GM and first time HC.

But can you? Like, what if Minnesota then calls Arizona with a dump truck full of picks to move up from 11 to take Maye themselves? If you like the guy, don't play games. If you don't like the guy, take someone else or move down for significant assets. We would kill them if they wanted Maye but tried to get cute and lost him to a team that leap frogged them.
lmao I think me and my friends discuss this movie at least once a week.Yup, someone just rewatched Kevin Costner's "Draft Day" filck...
Can't get cute on draft day. If your guy is there, go for it...if not move down aggressively....
Last time the Pats traded a #3 pick in the draft we got a #8 & #10 pick in return who turned out to be Chris Singleton and Ray Agnew. It’s ok if most of you are probably saying, “who”?? The #3 pick we traded was used by Seattle to select DL Cortez Kennedy who is now a proud member of the Hall of Fame. Let’s not have history repeat - take the QB you like best or whoever else you think would have the greatest positive impact. Also, not to put pressure on our de-facto GM, but I just read an article stating that while our owner is “encouraged” with E. Wolf *but* a GM “search” may still be coming. Sounds like making a decision that could set progress back another 3 - 4 years if the wrong choices are made is now part of his “job interview” while we’re all hoping for a “happy ending”! Is there an alternative universe where this makes any sense??Yup, someone just rewatched Kevin Costner's "Draft Day" filck...

I prefer the younger players like Maye and McCarthy that will have time to learn on the bench for a bit.That’s my desired outcome.

In 2003 the Vikings did not get there pick in on time (7th) Jags and Panthers leapfrogged them.That reminded of an incident a few years ago.
I don’t remember which team it was that failed to get their pick in on time, but a few teams subsequently jumped their spot before they got the pick in.

Vikings ended up picking (9th)
I am OK with that as well!
Just don’t want them to overthink this, trade down and not get potential franchise qb
Golden opportunity
Do not blow it

That is my recollection as well.If I’m not mistaken the Vikings did that twice with first round picks.
They made a trade with the Ravens with 30 seconds left and thought it went through. It did not and all hell broke loose.In a related irony the Jags & Panthers went with solid offensive picks while the Vikings came away with a defensive standout in All Pro Kevin Williams, an all decade team player. So they fell in the septic system and came out with a rose
Post above. Dallas screwed up but Vikings who were next got beat to the table by the ChiefsThis is something that’s largely been overlooked in this debate. There has been plenty of talk about his it’s risky taking a QB with a high pick, but little to none about the fact that you are still taking chances on the other first rounders as well, or when you have to trade up to try and get your QB in a future draft,,when the price tag is much higher.

Ironically enough, Minnesota still ended up with the guy they wanted after not getting the pick in time.This is something that’s largely been overlooked in this debate.

Bolded continues to get overlooked. I can't for the life of me, especially in the AFC, see why the idea of passing up a franchise QB in top three is a good idea.
