What are you willing to give up for QB of the future?

[bigbone62]

Over the years there's been a lot of clamoring to pivot from KC and draft a legit prospect at QB. For those most vocally in this camp call it now. What's an acceptable give to move up to say AZ's pick and draft one of Stroud, Young, Levis, Hooker or Richardson?

Its only worth it if you hit on it, obviously. Then almost any comp gives the juice that's worth the squeeze. Risk/reward ratio is high in the scenario of moving up to do it. You REALLY need to love a kid to get the consensus necessary internally to make the play. It could very well be that Minnesota does not feel strongly enough about any of these guys to consider it. All of these 'rumors' can be complete horseshit. And even IF they feel that way about a certain candidate, they still might not be able to pull it off. I think things would need to fall a certain way and even then, its not like the Vikings are operating in a vacuum.....other teams could feel the same and have slightly more to offer. 

The odds are against it. But the odds were also 99.8% that Minnesota was going to lose the Buffalo game. Shit can happen.

I don't want them to give any future drafts capital.  This year's draft seems lost with so few picks.  See what we can do with what we have this year. Cook, or Hunter should be available if they can get great, not good value

I'm not one clamoring to replace Cousins. You gotta have a QB to compete in this league, and Cousins is one of the best. Not worried about his age either. He's got another 4 or 5 years in him. 

That said, you do have to take your shot on a QB to see if you can't get lucky and land a superstar on a rookie contract. 

I would give up nothing. I think they're all crap shoots and the odds of hitting on the 5th QB are not really that much lower than hitting on one of the top 2.

This is actually a pretty good point. Although there's no denying odds are better, although not majorly significant. I'd rather have the #3 prospect than #5.

If they move up, I hope they can hold onto all of their most valuable picks in 2025. Don’t get wiped out obviously but 2023 and 2024 picks are on the table, as are the rumored trade candidate players.

I’m only ok if the go for AR. Its for the obvious high ceiling. 

Id like to see it done for 
‘23 1st and 3rd or 4th
’24 1st and 3rd or 4th
’25 2nd

Id be willing to part with veterans for assets. 

If one of the others gets really close to #23 and we need to grease the wheels to get it done (not our 1st) with a pick from ‘24 Im ok with that as well.

I'd say Will Levis has a pretty high ceiling as well. CJ Stroud is a good looking athlete and accurate. I think you have to temper what is the highest ceiling (AR) with what is realistic and can be achieved. Its what makes this group interesting at least. AR may have the highest potential but he's also the most likely to bust out.

I also like AR’s age. He’s 20. I’m well aware of the bust factor. I’d guess he’s somewhere in the 30/70-20/80 range? (low number = success). 

What we’ve been doing hasn’t done anything for +63 years. Its time we try something different. Swing for the stars. If it all goes to crap then we get a shot in ‘25 (which is why I don’t trade the ‘25 1st) to try again.

I would not move up into the Top 5 for this draft - too much.

But, we have enough ammo to move into around 13.  We would give up 23,87 and next year second rounder.  

So if the QB they like is still thier at 13 then I want us to strongly make that move.  I like Levis the best, I see a more accurate Josh Allen!
