That the draft actually replaces the sport, and any "Vikings news" all year long is limited to dips**ts doing mocks all year long.

Lastly, Kirk is good enough to win a Super Bowl, just need his team to be.
Kirk is only good enough to win a SB if his salary is low enough to permit the Vikes to build a great team around him. He can't be paid as a top 5 QB, perform like a top 15 QB and expect to win a SB.
He can't perform like a top 5 QB (though in many metrics, he does) with an o-line always rated in the bottom 20% of the league.

If there is a bigger myth in the NFL than this whole notion that paying a QB top dollar prevents you from putting quality players around him, I don't know what it is.

I don't think anyone is saying you can't put quality players around a QB you're paying a lot of money to... but there IS plenty of evidence that you aren't winning a Super Bowl unless you have 1) Tom Brady or 2) you're paying your QB less than 14% of your cap space in a given year. Read VikingOracle's post again... Key part is "expect to win a Super Bowl".

Super Bowl winners since 2010, with cap percentage:2020: Patrick Mahomes: 2.4% (Rookie)2019: Tom Brady: 12.4%2018: Nick Foles: 1.0% — Carson Wentz 3.6% (Rookie)2017: Tom Brady: 8.9%2016: Peyton Manning: 12.2%2015: Tom Brady: 11.1%2014: Russell Wilson: 0.6% (Rookie)2013: Joe Flacco: 6.6% (Rookie)2012: Eli Manning: 11.7%2011: Aaron Rodgers: Uncapped season2010: Drew Brees: 8.7%
also, https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2019/1/2/18164980/nfl-playoffs-quarterbacks-salary-cap-kirk-cousins-patrick-mahomes. "It’s overly simplistic to say that paying a quarterback a lot of money prohibits a team from being successful. New Orleans’s Drew Brees, Indianapolis’s Andrew Luck, and Seattle’s Russell Wilson each make over $20 million a year. We’re dealing with a small sample size, but what is clear from the 2018 season is that there are too many quarterbacks being paid like superstars. And it’s very bad for team-building if your highly paid quarterback doesn’t play like a superstar."
And https://www.si.com/nfl/chiefs/gm-report/do-massive-quarterback-contracts-limit-teams-in-the-long-run. "The one thing that does remain consistent is that there seems to be a max amount of salary cap space a quarterback can take up in the last nine years, and that’s 15%. Only Aaron Rodgers in 2019 passed 15% and that was just barely. How many times do quarterback contracts pass this 15% threshold, exactly?"
My worst fear is RS trades any of the following picks-
Third-Round Pick, 78th overall
Third-Round Pick (from Ravens), 90th overall
Fourth-Round Pick, 119th overall
Fourth-Round Pick (from Bears), 125th overall
Fourth-Round Pick (from Bills), 134th overall
Fourth-Round Pick (compensatory), 143rd overall
Fifth-Round Pick, 157th overall
Sixth-Round Pick, 199th overall
