QB please.
Cut Kirk and get out of that contract. Play the rookie QB or get Fitzpatrick, Newton, whoever to hold down the fort for a bit until the rookie is ready. If we “reach” for a QB and he doesn’t work out, then try again the following year. Arizona got Kyler this way, and that’s working out just fine for them.
all depends on who is left, I have seen mocks that have 4 QBs going in the top 8 to 10 picks and I see us ending up picking around 15 to 20 or so, with no second it will be tough to move up 10 spots to get in on the end of the first round QBs, especially if its for a guy like Lance who will likely need 2 years before he is ready to challenge for a starting roll.... put yes, I agree on moving on from Cousins after this year if for no other reason than to avoid that big hit in 2022.

That doesn't make any sense? Why take another receiver if he wouldn't be utilized?
unless they are preparing for life after Theilen, but if that is the case they should be more concerned with who will be throwing the ball, but primary concern should be who will be blocking for Dalvin and that new QB.
Maybe but they also need to look at life after Cousins. If they are going with the run heavy philosophy, why another receiver? Jefferson is valuable but not used enough. Definitely would be helpful to beef up the OL.
hence my comment on more concern with who would be throwing the ball, its looking more like the Vikings will be drafting outside the range of the top tier QBs, so IMO they need to be looking at DTs and OL for this years first round. then be looking to double down on those guys again with their thirds, we need to add a ton of talent to both lines and then we can look to add that QB next year. I would like to see Rick turn at least 2 of this years day 2 picks into higher round picks next year to give us more ammo for a trade up to grab a QB of the future if we dont have one of the top 4 fall to us this year.
Curious who your Top 4 are? Obviously Lawrence/Fields but who after?
the little I have seen would then include Wilson and Lance. I have seen a few others that I would look at but I will need to see more tape on them after the season is over. I havent been watching as much CFB this year as I would have liked so it will be a youtube fest once the season is over.
Lance reminds me of Jordan Love with the small school, arm and running skills. Not a lot of tape on Lance because they only play one game this season. That scares me. His only game he had a 50% completion. He threw the ball 30 times and also ran 15 in that game. He runs too much. He does first read and run. The 2019 he was lights out with 25 TD's and 0 Int's the whole season including Bowl. In the final game he ran the ball 30 times and threw it 10 times, is that because he wasn't reading the Defense? His arm looks to be a little better then Jordan Love IMO.

I have said all along that Lance scares me the most. Small HS, Small College, Small sample size. He has the tools, but does he have the experience, this is why I say 2 years riding the bench should be expected.

I really, really like that kid. I think he's going to be a GREAT NFL WR. Its not the greatest team need but man what a BPA he'd be. When I watched LSU highlights, that's the guy that was the most impressive to me on their roster even more than Jefferson.
The only thing that would make me puke with our #1 pick would be a DB or a LB.
He is (on paper) the best of those great WR's coming out of LSU. NFL All Pro potential.
Jamaar and JJ would be amazing.
I agree with MB, it's going to be QB, 3t or OL Rd 1. I'd love to see em move up for one of the QB's if they had a good bead on one of em.
I think if we end up with a pick in the top half, we'll do everything we can to move up for a QB with our extra picks. If we don't, I think there's a real chance we'll trade Hunter for a high 1st.
I think the team we'll target is the Bengals, a team who just drafted a QB #1 last year. So if the Vikings fall apart the rest of the season, root hard for the Bengals to lose. Shouldn't be hard with Burrow down. It's also somewhat possible that Lawrence pulls an Elway (or an Eli Manning) and refuses to go to the football hell that is the Jets, and we can pull off a trade with them. Dealin' Rick will have to figure something out.
I've been kicking around the same idea. I put extreme value on Hunter but assuming health, he could be in play for the Jets pick. Something akin to Hunter + Vikes 2021 1st for Jets 2021 & 2022 1st's. That being said, I believe the Jets are going to be looking to accumulate picks rather than players. Don't think I would move Hunter for anyone but Lawrence.
