I'm still rolling with JJ or Nix. I liked Fields coming out of college, but it'd be hard for me to wipe the stench of Chicago off of him.
I get some Colt McCoy vibes from Nix. Wide range of opinions on him

Good to see Loadholt get the gig, after his playing career was cut short by injury. In fact, he's still 4 years younger than the still-playing-somehow Jason Peters.
But just looking at those 14/15 depth charts, godDAMN those were crap offenses. Mike Wallace and Charles Johnson at WR, Kalil, Charlie Johnson into Brandon Fusco, the mysterious Mike Harris and TJ Clemmings starting at RT after Loady retired and the Vikings gave Andre Smith a go. Yuck.
Minnesota Mike Wallace made Bernard Berrian look like Terrell Owens. Laughs… cries.
Let's talk about some more "ick" speaking of Berrian. I remember specifically heading into the 2008 offseason with DeSean Jackson being the guy I badly wanted us to draft. I felt we needed speed opposite Sidney Rice and someone who could open things up a little for Peterson. We started the offseason signing Berrian to fill that role (which I hated) and trading our 1st round pick for Jared Allen. I thought that squashed our chances of landing Jackson. Draft day happens and Jackson inexplicably drops into the second round. The Vikings jump on the clock and I'm literally screaming at them to take Jackson. Instead, we drafted some scrub safety named Tyrell Johnson from Arkansas State who never did a damn thing. Jackson was drafted by the Eagles six picks later and the rest is history. This is the immediate memory that pops into my head when Berrian comes up in conversation

I could see that. Definitely see lots of differing opinions on him, but I like his fit in KOC's offense.
So long dreams of Jayden to JJ.
I still like quite a few of the others though, will be an interesting March and April.
Matt Miller at ESPN released his new mock draft today. He's got this for the QB's;
1. Bears- Caleb Williams
2. Patriots- Drake Maye
4. Giants- Jayden Daniel's
7. Raiders- JJ McCarthy
And in what would be the most Viking move ever, he has the us taking Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins with the 22nd pick.

That will most likely be the pick. And Viking nation will justify it somehow.

From the pick range, to the position drafted, to the school drafted from....standard Vikings

Honest to God, I'll lose my fucking mind if they draft a CB. I think the odds are extremely low that happens.

I'd agree. Murphy, Evans and Blackmon are a pretty good trio. That other Clemson corner we have on the roster....who knows
Caleb Williams and Marvin Harrison Jr/DJ Moore looks formidable on paper. Maybe not year 1 but if those rookies are the real deal Chicago is going to be a problem for a while. If they decide to really load up on offense and draft a rookie RB to jump in there, plus Kmet who’s solid at TE and Mooney who seems like a great field stretcher number 3, an offense-focused Bears squad would be a big deviation from the norm for them.
And yeah I almost don’t care if CB is where the “value” is. DL and OL are much more pressing for us. 4 QBs going in the top 10 means we’re going to have to trade up probably just to get the 5th or even 6th best QB if we want one. That sucks.
EDIT- I shouldn’t say 5th or 6th “best” because anything can happen but I mean 5th or 6th off the board.
