It is really important to do their due diligence and get it right if the opportunity presents itself
On a side note, we as a team are horrible.

? Ok. So now that the Vikings are 0-3, every thread needs a random reminder of that fact regardless of topic? The topic is Zach Wilson.

And sometimes that isn't even enough, as the drafters of Wilson, Trub, Fields, Wentz, Darnold, Lance, Rosen, etc, etc can attest. I would assume they did their due diligence. Sometimes ya just gotta get lucky.

yes its luck, but as a GM would you rather have a top 5 shot at the lottery in each round, or somewhere in the late teens to early 20s each round? in neither scenario are you a legit SB contender the previous year, so why do we always think a middling season is a success when in reality nobody will remember in 2 years about another meaningless division title, but people always remember those top draft picks years after they either boom or bust. If you were the Vikings GM right now, and you know that your job is safe for another year or two, are you really going to be focusing on turning 0-3 into 8 or 9 wins, or would you be looking at the draft for next year and be thinking about how many lottery tickets you need to try and turn this thing around? Because you are in year 2 of what was going to take at least 3 ( now likely 4) years to turn around, how many years will they give you without getting the ship righted with a real outlook for the future? ( trotting half assed free agents and aging immobile QBs out there isnt going to be the answer )
at least a top tier QB, and could still add other top players by moving Cousins, and Hunter in exchange for draft picks, adding relatively cheap and younger talent now give optimism, I dont know to many fans that look at our roster right now and are honestly optimistic for this year, and even next year the way things are looking.
even if we cant get the #1 pick, I would think getting one of the next 1 or 2 QBs off the board, as well as adding a DT and C in the first 45 picks would give reason for optimism for 25, and a reason to tune in for 24, especially when you think about the FA coin that we will have available to try and add some mid 20s top talents.
Takes a good QB coach more than anything, I feel like even with all these staffs with more specialty coaches it is becoming a lost art.
