Not that bad, it is what it is. If they decide to maneuver upward, they can do it from this position. Or stay put and grab a tier 2 QB. Or stay put, grab a player of need other than QB and maneuver up to get a QB in late round 1/early round 2. I'm guessing the plan with or without Kirk Cousins will be decided by Draft time. 

A garbage year full of injuries. Ready to put it in the rearview and see what the Draft/offseason produces....should be an eventful one in Vikingland.

The way the draft board fell, the top 3 QBs are likely unavailable at any price.

Couple weeks ago we were at 22. We finish at 11 by losing our last four. Still, I think you'll find some Viking fans who wished we'd somehow done more to move higher.

After Kirko went down and we Passtranught came crashing down, I think it was obvious to everyone watching that we weren't going anywhere.

Tweets never past well for me but Luke Braun says:
Looks pretty locked in that the #Vikings pick 11th. So. If you
wanted to trade up with whoever ends up 4th, you’d need to pony up the
equivalent of the 41st overall pick. using historic data, that trade
could be completed by sending MIN’s 2nd and 4th, or a future 1st

And if the right QB was there? I would do that in a heart-beat.

That syncs. Vikings don't have a 3rd (or any comp picks) so their 2nd pick would be the other 4th. Still, I think that's a price the Vikings would be willing to pay for their QBOTF if'n there's a QB at 4 worth taking that high. Right now it seems like a reach.

Williams Daniels Maye  Pennix?

 I dont know how they'll stack these guys, but I suspect they would try to move up for one of em.

Yeah right now it's hard to say, but from where I'm standing there seems to be a gap between the top 3 and the 4th guy. McCarthy is young, has questionable deep accuracy and can be reckless. Penix has had 4 season ending injuries that are pretty hard to overlook. I really like Bo Nix so he could factor in as well, but I just don't see those three quite on the same level as the top 3.

I'm like a teenage girl --- if Pennix or McCarthy blows-up tonight, I'll have a crush on em.

Damn, where can I find that? Love to know what Robby Benson's saddest moment was. Guessing when he was miscast as Native American gold medalist Billy Mills in Running Brave.

If they resign Kirk but Flores walks I can see Vikings being middle of the pack of a competitive rebuild still. If Flo stays resign Kirk and about to draft well and pick up key FA then Vikes might have a pretty decent team.

It's early in the evaluation process & I could very well be wrong but I don't see Penix going in the top 10. I think there's enough questions about his injury history & age that he won't be drafted that high. First round yes, top 10, no. Remember at this time last year, the mocks had Levis going in the top 10. I do think though that Penix is a better prospect than Levis was.
