Don’t stay up for the first round draft in 23 I say there’s 100% chance that will trade that number one for more picks.

That's okay. Pick 32 is pretty late anyway.

And the trade looks even better now.

Vikings’ TE Irv Smith is expected to be sidelined 8-10 weeks with his high ankle sprain, per source.

TJ could be a stud for years to come.

Red zone threat, a matchup night mare in motion, very good blocker. Fantastic deal and will add another layer to this offense.

Can we start sending KJ deep and have TJ demanding safety coverage, leaving a lot of one on ones for Jets and Adam

Kwesi, well done

You get the TE you thought you had with ISJ...50-60 catches. ISJ is out virtually the remainder of the season (and the remainder of his contract). Somebody will likely pay him and the Vikings will likely net a 3rd / 4th in compensation in the 2024 draft.

There must be more than just a high ankle sprain. Aren't those typically 4 to 6 weeks? Now they are saying 8 to 10 weeks. Looks like his Viking career is over.

Although Iowa is a house divided for NFL loyalty (Vikings, Bears, Chiefs)...the vast majority in central Iowa where Hockenson grew up are Vikings fans. It's going to be an easy drive up 35 for his family.

The one thing we were missing on offense was a weapon to keep defenses honest rolling coverage to Jefferson, and a big bodied red zone target. I think that was the thought with the Claypool flirtation.

Kwesi must think we are real contenders this year, because this upcoming draft is loaded at TE.

Wow...I guess I underestimated the high ankle sprain!

Kwesi swinging for the motherF****** fences. LOVE this deal way more than adding another WR when KJ has done pretty good.

Spielman would have sent a 3rd round pick for some no name #3 TE. Hockenson is a young Top 10 TE with arrow pointing up.

For only a 2nd round pick in 2023 and mid rounders in 24, outstanding deal for us.
