Sure would be nice to have had him sitting behind Cousins about now. He looked GOOD today in his first start. I know we had some Levis fans on here

I was a big Levis proponent as the Viking pick.  But we passed with what we all said was insider information from a former coach with ties between Kentucky and Minnesota.  Not sure what to think now because he looked awesome today.

When our pick was on the clock, I wanted Will Levis to be the pick.
Seriously, I think some of these draftable players tell some teams they don’t want to play for them.
No press on it cuz, it sets a bad presentation to the next draft.

I thought we were lucky to have him fall to us and with no future QB on the roster was hoping we would take a shot on him, Levis was projected by many to be a top 5 pick, he reminds me of Herbert a little.

I literally still can’t believe we didn’t draft him

What are the odds that we lose Kirk the same day the rookie that many thought would be a Viking has his flash game for another team?..
...pretty good since its the Vikings.  He may never play that good again,  but kinda stings for now.

For what it's worth, I still want nothing to do with him.

He probably did a double squirt of mayo in his coffee after today...

We'll see what Levis does, it's too early to say if we made a mistake passing on him or not.

Its so funny. We have some ready to crown Levis after one game.....and others who STILL think Jordan Love is a NFL QB. I can't remember the last time I watched a Viking's game and was more confident that the opposing QB would mess up than with Jordan Love. He's brutal.

I wanted us to take him when he was there for us but, oh well.

Levis is one big strong dude.....with an arm to match.

I was on the Levis train, but got talked out of him by the late push of negativity.  If he goes on to be a star for TN so be it.

And some loved Manziel's potential and Fields and Trubisky...

I was expecting us to take Levis or Hooker. If i remember correctly, Levis was being compared to Ryan Leaf in the maturity department. If that's so, we may be glad we dodged that bullet.

I'm not crowning anyone but he looked pretty darn good for a rookie playing his first game.  

I am fine with us passing on Levis even though I was an armchair proponent.  

But the next draft we need to draft a first round QB and we will be in the "need" category which can lead to pressure to settle (Ponder).

I am a big fan of drafting QB's when you don't "need" one which I have been posting for years.

Last year drafting Levis would not have been a "need" when you have Cousins.  The next draft is different but good thing it looks to be a QB loaded draft and we will probably be drafting middle upper of round one.  My concern is our drafting has not been stellar under Kwesi and crew.

Loved Levis, but just like the news about him being overtaken by Malik Willis, I wouldn't jump on this news as any sort of confirmation that he is now a franchise QB. It's a very good sign though. 

Zero regrets about taking Addison over Levis.

I dunno, it remains to be seen. Like Addison but if Levis balls out, I still take the QB.

Well the thing is, Addison has already balled out. Levis is still an unknown. But yes, if both end up franchise players, you take the QB every time.
