Vikes thread!

Daniel Jones could get them another comp pick next year too, unless they sign another player that counts against the comp guys they lost. The 1 for Darnold is projected to be a 3 Rd pick, the 1 for Jones would probably be a 4th Rd. The 2 D lineman they signed were both released by their former teams, so they don't count in the comp formula. The RB, Mason, was a trade with SF too.

Read a thing yesterday whilst in the big city about the Vikes possibly getting Will Levis from the Titans.  He won 3 games last year.  I don't want him even close to us.  He had such an attitude in the draft last year.  Thought he should have been taken high and got kind of pissy when it didn't happen.

I don't know why they would want Levis. He wouldn't fill the role of veteran quarterback. Maybe as a #3 but certainly not as the primary backup for McCarthy.

I would rather have Mullens than Levis. 

[dutchboy]

I see your point although we know what Mullins is. Do we know what Levis is? I don't think the Vikings would go after him but coaching helped Darnold maybe it would help Levis.

Very interesting Gunner.  Makes sense to wait then.

Yep!  Crazy like a fox.  Man, I hope it ain't Rodgers.  But if it is...  and for as much as I'm goona hate it... I'm going to trust KA-M and KO'C seeming to go all-in this season (hopefully with the window remaining open next as well).

On paper, they seem to have added more talent via free agency than they lost and teams can never count on getting too many immediate impact players in the draft anyway. 

Everything seems to hinge on McCarthy that a) he won't get happy feet, b) he'll be able to at least manage games and not turn the ball over, and 3) is strong enough to chuck the ball down field where only JJ and JA can go get it.  If KOC can teach him how to throw guys open, that will be icing on the cake.
