I think we’re fine. Winning a Super Bowl will smooth over everything.

I think there will always be those negative people but they will be quiet for a little while after this draft

Then we need to win a superbowl. I’ve been a fan since 1969, my clock is ticking.

@@williemclean3224I think you mean your clock is ticking 😊

SKOL Baby!!! It's a new era in Minnesota with these great picks!

I refused to even watch Turner's highlights in lead up to draft because I figured he just wasn't going to be an option if they got a top QB and I'd just be making myself jealous 😂 Can't wait for his Vikings highlights. Skol!

When do the rookies get their future number? I’m wanting to order a jersey

@@JakeHamm-nc7xk You can pre-order and they don't send it to you until after they get their numbers (obviously). Hopefully soon!

A grown man wearing another mans name on his back. Bah ha ha

@@northsky5629shut your corny ass up - fellas is it gay to be supportive now?

​@@northsky5629 a grown man caring about what another grown man does. Bahahaha 😂

He was shocked kwesi pulled off that move. So was I. That trade and pick made me jump out of my seat.

Why? You think a had been QB or a rookie is going to lead them to the superbowl?

@northsky5629 this our future... you think Cousins a 36 year old qb coming off an Achilles injury is going to?...

You know ball

Thanks coach!

Two of them - Darnold is agile and strong in the pocket and can run too.

@@robe2504 If Donald plays like he did with the 49ers we will be fine.If he plays like he did with the Jets it will be a long season

@@mikeblasterock3841 The Jets was a very dysfunctional outfit. Darnold actually played pretty well with a very limited Panthers roster too. He started 3-0 in 2021, and led the league (including RBs) in rushing TDs for 7 or 8 weeks. In 2022 he finished the season 4-2, after CMC had been traded, AND Baker had started the season 1-6. So Darnold went 8-9 in his two seasons with the Panthers - while Baker, Bryce Young and others went 5-28 with the same team. Kirk went 26-30 with Washington before first starting for the Vikes as a 30 year old. Darnold is still only 26. I think most Vikes fans will be very surprised at how competent he is. He did look good with the 49ers, and looked better against the Ravens than Purdy did, when he finished that game.

@@robe2504 Let's hope you are right about Donald.

Not to mention we should have 2 third round compensatory picks next for for Kirk and Danielle

U win and lose in the trenches. Need more emphasize on our lines

Yep, their continued reliance on Bradbury is my biggest disappointment with the team now.

I can see Sam winning the division and JJ sitting out the season. Then what do they do? At worst, they should convert Sam into some serious draft capital.

@robe2504 hhheeeyy I like the way you think. Selfishly, I want JJ to start. Your scenario isn't a bad idea. If Sam balls out, that's at least a 2nd rd pick if not first.

That 1st draft might look better at the end of this season. Some of those young guys are starting to get clear of their early injuries.

Don’t forget Flores

@@confusedwarrior4495 true true

Byron would have been amazing!! Guessing they were watching him and turner at equal value to see if could have one at 23 and once Seattle removed an option they decided to get who they wanted

I think Darnold could play well enough to make it a real problem. What if he wins the division and a playoff game or 2? Wouldn't they have to extend him? And as you said - he would at least be a great trade asset.

@@robe2504 the only way I really us being motivated to extent Darnold long term come in the form of three different scenarios. 1. Darnold plays like a damn MVP 2. He plays extremely well and McCarthy looks like a bust to the coaching staff. 3. Darnold plays well, but is pretty much just mid. And the coaching Staff sees him more valuable as a back up than a trade asset.

@@MichaelRucker-ns5po Darnold wins the division, makes a playoff run and plays like a 3rd overall pick?

@@robe2504 that would be nice

We have one of the most solid LT and RT combos in the league man… I’m more worried about the interior D line

@TheOneAndOnlyUrl A solid tackle who isn't in the lineup because he's injured doesn't help win games. They ought to draft the best O-lineman available every year until they find five men who can play 17 games in a year.

and 6 of those 9 picks are busts 90% of the time so not bad

we got the better deal

Like Spielman never left😮

@@spindog9600 false spielman would gotten all 7th rounders

Difference making moves. It’s all a process. Not random. We’ll fill in our future draft equity voids and supplement that with deep free agency pockets. All good!

Rick Spielman? Is this you?

Lmao dude who fucking cares… these late round picks never usually pan out anyways and the two guys we got are what we needed most lmao.

turner is worth more then bunch of low picks

“Late picks” lol. Unserious.

That's a pretty simplistic take. They didn't do that to get Turner - they did that to give them options and opportunities which included the possibility to trade up for another QB. Many, many folks thought they would need both firsts to get McCarthy. They got both those foundational players for those picks. Go back and look at a few draft classes and you'll soon see that most teams only get one or two quality starters each class. You are just being a drama queen. Taking risks is the opposite of settling for mediocre.

Debbie downer

Overreacting? We’re all just excited dude. Finally steering our own ship.

Nix would have been my second choice.

I think the Broncos could be drafting another QB in 2025. Nix reminds me of Ridder and Pickett - older, low ceiling, below average arm.

technically 4 if we speak in volume alone.

Sort of, but getting the capital was for the opportunity to trade up for a QB. So it's really JJ and Turner that cost those picks, and most folks expected that they'd need both 1sts to get JJ, so from that point of view Turner really only cost the 2025 3rd & 4th, and 2024 5th and 6th. I don't think anyone would trade out of the 1st for a 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th.

Cry some more

so u wanted bo nix..

we got 13 wins easy

Dude. Take a breath. This regime won the division in year 1, and stayed in contention in year 2 without their QB1 and the league's WR1, for much of the year. If Jared Goff and Amon Ra had gone down last year Campbell would be looking for a new job. It sounds like you'll be very disappointed if they win the division again.

Lmao we couldn’t even lose more than 7 games with having to play 4 different qbs . The notion that we will only win 5 games is laughable.

@@saraxiong Exactly Sara. It feels like most people around the league look at last year and see the Vikes as a 7 win team. Yeah, sure if Jettas misses half the season, and Dobbs and Mullens are the starting QBs, and Flores is down to starting 3 or 4 backups to finish the season, including several players that have already been farewelled in FA. Even Vikes fans don't rate Darnold, but he was able to do just as much with that Panthers roster, as Cousins was able to do with Washington before he got here. I'm expecting Darnold to operate this Vikes offence very efficiently. Have all the Lions fans forgotten who Goff was when he arrived in Detroit and how he couldn't win a game with their run down roster? Darnold is walking into a much better situation, and could easily step in where Kirk left off. We all wanted a QB with Kirk's arm, that was agile and strong in the pocket, and could run. Well he's here. No need to rush JJ at all. And look what Flores did with the guys he inherited last season. Now he has added a bunch of his guys - Greenard, AVG, Cashman, Tillery, Griffin, Turner, Khyree - even arguably - Williams, McGlothern, Gabe Murphy. These guys have all been acquired with his scheme in mind. Some Vikes fans give up early on players, but I'd also argue that there is a strong case that Cine, Booth, Asamoah, Roy, Carter II, Akayleb and Blackmon all continue to develop/improve and start to contribute on defence this season as well. I don't see any reason why the Vikes couldn't win the NFC North with Darnold and have a good problem at QB going into 2025. Skol!

Who cares how much another team liked or didn’t like someone you selected as long as you get the person you’re happy with?

@@RaoulDuk3 agreed. I was happy really with any of the possible options minus Nix.

jj was 2nd bezt qb of the draft

@@christopherlorenzen8941 he may be. If that was consensus, he’s should’ve gone number 2.

@@Selling-McCarthyismIt dont matter what other teams want its what is best for ours Hes young smart all a a winner

Based on what data?

@RedTideRTS my eyes but it's only an opinion that I hope to the football gods I'm wrong about!

@@RAnixon gotcha! Yeah, no one really knows until that pigskin has been tossed around the field! ✌️

What did they think about Tom Brady when he was drafted? You never know

Jj is a beast! He Possesses all the right stuff to blossom into an elite nfl qb. His football iq is off the charts and he makes good decisions. Mark my words he will only get better and better.

nix is a bust
