Why am I jonesing for Davis Mills?

Unknown quantity with great upside.

I'd rather get Kellen Mond if we're taking a QB today.  I don't see it with Mills, but I've been wrong before on QBs.

He's an intriguing guy I didn't know much about. I spent the better part of a day watching all the 2nd and 3rd tier QBs and he wasn't one of them. Didn't even notice him until I watched Fehoko, whom I love as a middle round receiver target. 

Watched some clips this morning and he throws a beautiful ball. Good poise, OK mobility. Also like that he's a former 5-star recruit.

Sounds like Trask, MIlls and Mond are neck and neck as the next three QBs. But I don't think all three go in the 2nd round. 

I predicted the Vikings would take Darrisaw and then move into the 2nd to take their QB. I hope that's the not the case though. If the Vikings move up, I hope it's for a starting edge, wide, or even a guard. If they keep the picks they have, they're going to add a ton of talent to this roster.

Because of the better athleticism? I get that. More modern NFL QB-ish, although Mills is not a statue either. I like Mond also.

Both are a huge risk. Is it worth to go after in the 2nd round with so many quality players there in the 2nd? I lean no

I like Trask's ascending numbers. 69% completion rate, 43/8 TD to INT ratio is crazy. Yeah, he's not gonna run a 4.5 40, but if my QB is regularly running 40's, he's going to be carrying a clipboard in 5 yrs.

I think the Vikings need to see how the 2nd round starts and go from there.  Lots of good players left.  Honestly, if they are looking for a QB they should probably just get him as quickly as possible before the next run starts.  They have plenty of picks to go up and get a guy AND still select 4-5 players in the 3rd and 4th round. 

It just feel like all the homework they did on these QBs this off-season means they are in the market for a guy to develop behind Kirk.  If that's true, don't mess around.

It'll be interesting if they make a play for Monds or Mills.

I don't think they're going to trade up for a QB unless they love a single guy, doubt its Davis Mills. If they spend the draft capital to move up into round 2 it'll be for either a DE or DT I'd think. 

QB is the face of your franchise. If you have strong feelings one way or another its probably worth it to go get your guy. If they have several rated similarly then we should generally have more then enough picks to get whoever we want. 

I am not a Mills fan.  I do like Mond.  But if Trask falls (no move up for any of them) I would take the shot.

Like Guru said - If we move up into the 2nd I would love guys like Levi, Basham, Weaver, and maybe even Cisco but I am hoping we can wait for him to fall.
