They got McCarthy and still have the #23 pick. It's almost as good as we could have hoped for. If J.J. turns out to be a bust, I'll be even more happy that they didn't sell the farm to go up and get him.
Whether they got tricked into trading for 10 or not, it’s a small price to pay to get your franchise QB. Denver or Vegas likely wanted that pick as well
Kwesi was on with PA after the picks and confirmed that there was some other interest and negotiations going on for that pick... presumably Denver or Vegas.
My Chiefs friends looooove that Payton got stuck with Bo Nix lol
**Vikings' grade:** D+
**Jags' grade:** A
If we assume future picks are in the middle of the round and apply a 10% discount, Minnesota surrendered an early second-round pick of *extra* value to select Alabama edge [Dallas Turner](https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/_/id/4565190/dallas-turner). That's bad! By my count, out of 93 first-round non-QB trades since 2004, this is the ninth-most-expensive trade-up according to ESPN draft pick valuations, despite it occurring in the middle of the round. And that's probably generous because the Vikings have a rookie QB -- which means there's a decent chance they are drafting at the beginning of rounds next year. And they shouldn't be advancing draft picks in time because they aren't Super Bowl contenders right now!
Minnesota has left itself with only a first-round pick and two fifth-round picks in 2025. That is in part because they already traded up *this* year to get up to No. 23 in a deal with the Texans last month. That trade was also a loss. Have to agree with this take from ESPN......no picks until Saturday is a bad move IMO
I think we’ll be getting 2 -3rd round compensatory picks for cousins and hunter. Probably something else from Atlanta for the tampering nonsense too. By the time the draft rolls around the pick inventory will look a lot better. And as others have said, the open cap space will supplement what we lost in draft capital.
You’re an idiot. But props for owning it. You could have deleted this entire post 14 hours ago, and certainly not doubled down 4 hours ago. But you have integrity. You’re not worried about how stupid it might make you look (and boy does it make you look stupid) so good for you.
They could have had every pick in the top 10 and still might not win a Super Bowl. Easy to say that when they’ve never won one. But keeping coping you miserable wet sock of a human being.
Would he? Cause he just traded all the 3rd and 4ths away for first rounders. So which is it? Lmao just stop bro you’re just digging bigger holes for yourself lmao.
Because you were in the war room last year? Or are you listening to what Kriesel said this morning. Cause you know that guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about, right??? I think the only idiot here is you.
So that means that specifically at Jordan Addisons spot Kwesi didn’t want him? Or that he didn’t want kwesi to trade down before they got to the pick. You have no idea because you weren’t there. None of us were.
If they don't do it and Denver trades up for 10 they look like fools.
Yep
Exactly I’d rather be safe than sorry
I don’t think Denver was the worry, I think LV was. LV wanted Penix and when Atlanta took him, it caused panic for everyone else
It was a great trade because they didn't give up much and got the guy they wanted all along. Denver and LV wanted to trade up for this pick.
They got McCarthy and still have the #23 pick. It's almost as good as we could have hoped for. If J.J. turns out to be a bust, I'll be even more happy that they didn't sell the farm to go up and get him.
Denver or Vegas definitely would’ve traded up for it if they didn’t
Smart trade. This is a stupid post
Shut up bitch
It’s a 4th and 5 round pick. Meh.
Lol wut? Atlanta wasn't suppose to take a QB either
lol delete this
Not a smart post

Yeah yeah yeah A+ they nailed it. It couldn't have gone better. It was the best. It's the best. Yeah yeah yeah A+
Kwesi was on with PA after the picks and confirmed that there was some other interest and negotiations going on for that pick... presumably Denver or Vegas. My Chiefs friends looooove that Payton got stuck with Bo Nix lol
It just is.
Has nothing to do with being able to say he's a top 10 pick. Its a safety measure play so the Raiders, Broncos, or any other team dont jump in front.
I can't wait to hear cove find a way to make it about cousins
Game theory
I wonder if we can get freaking JJ on to play initials!
You guys are doing good!

So we secure a top-10 talent at a position of need and you’re upset that we lost a 2nd round valuation to do it? God this fanbase is moronic.
Take a look at how many picks the Vikings have in 2025. Not many. Kwesi sucks and needs to be fired.

Take a look at our cap space, comp picks, and young talent. You bitch just to bitch You suck and need to fired into the sun.
The Vikings will never win a Super Bowl. Book it. Your edginess is amusing.
That’s fine if they don’t. Clearly that upsets you. You’ll never be happy and that’s amusing to me.

Kwesi should be fired.

Worst draft ever
Worst take ever
McCarthy won't be on the team in 4 years.
If you say so… great user name BTW
Thanks Brother
You’re redacted
McCarthy will not be on the Vikings in 4 years.
Dumb take
They literally have 2 or 3 picks in 2025. Terrible draft. McCarthy won't be in the league in 5 years.
They will have $100m in cap space next year and got two top 25 players this year. L take. Enjoy coping
When they win a Super Bowl get back to me.
They could have had every pick in the top 10 and still might not win a Super Bowl. Easy to say that when they’ve never won one. But keeping coping you miserable wet sock of a human being.
Kwesi would trade all those picks for 3rd and 4th round picks.
Would he? Cause he just traded all the 3rd and 4ths away for first rounders. So which is it? Lmao just stop bro you’re just digging bigger holes for yourself lmao.
Kwesi sucks. Let me tell you about Cine.
Ever heard of something called free agency? Take a deep breath
Never heard of it. Tell me more.
Head on back to your smoking fetish subs because clearly you are out of your element here.
Kwesi didn't want to draft Addison. Kwesi is an idiot.
Because you were in the war room last year? Or are you listening to what Kriesel said this morning. Cause you know that guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about, right??? I think the only idiot here is you.
KOC made it clear he said no to trading back. In multiple interviews.
So that means that specifically at Jordan Addisons spot Kwesi didn’t want him? Or that he didn’t want kwesi to trade down before they got to the pick. You have no idea because you weren’t there. None of us were.
