RUMOR: Vikings actively trying to trade up with Arizona

We’ll see where JJ is at after the draft when there’s a new QB on the roster. Trading him is stupid. 

Who would they be targeting at 4? They must think a team or two behind them wants to move up to get the guy they want. 

JJM, Nix, or Penix. One of those guys must be the guy they want. If it was Maye, Daniels or Williams, 4 wouldn’t guarantee you get him.

4 will definitely get you the one of the other 3 that you want.

Cardinals just traded Rondale Moore for QB Desmond Ridder with ATL. Ridder I assume will be backing up Kyler unless ARI is thinking of getting nuts and drafting a QB and trading Murray. Unlikely though. Ridder is a poor man's Kyler so I see the appeal for him as a backup.
Kinda funny Atlanta's 2 QBs now are both former Vikings. Kirk and Heineke.

That said i went back and looked at that draft a few times and it would not have been easy to nail it. There were alot of misses in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. 

Allowing the Lions to trade up 20 spots without having to give up an additional first round pick alone is a reason for banishment.

They better be damned determined that JJM is the guy. Our ‘25 pick is going to be a high one. 

You do what you have to do for a QB but if he fails Kam is out of a job.

I want a trade way up and I want a JJ extension. But if I have to choose only 1, give me the latter.

The absolute only way I consider moving JJ— and still probably decline— is if it’s for #1 overall. Now if JAX wants to trade us Trevor Lawrence or we can get a proven commodity like that with upside, then I’m listening.

But for the 4th overall pick? Heck no. 

I dont think anybody would suggest JJ for the 4th alone,  there would have to be other picks involved IMO.

So, if we let Kwazy walk at the end of his 4yr contract, do we get minority hire supplemental draft compensation…?  ;) B)

JMO, but I think Minnesota stays put unless someone they like slides a bit. IMO, most likely trade partner is Los Angeles at #5. And that would be for Drake Maye or Daniels, who I think are most likely to 'slide'. I think Minnesota would be happy to take Penix at #11.

I'd love to know who your little birdie is who says the team likes Penix. I guess they're all risky, but he seems like a real reach at #11

Falcons now have Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Rondale Moore at WR, Cousins at QB, Pitts at TE, Bijan at RB, the 2nd best pass blocking line in the NFL, and the 8th pick in the draft.

Penix at #11 would make me barf.  I just don't see it with him.

in a normal year he would be top 5 easily, the only thing that makes him potentially there at 11 is the depth of the QB draft this year.

Smoke & mirrors.  Sportsmedia and pundits have spent the last two months talking about "blockbuster proposed trade".  They're just creating content clickbait.

The Vikes are not moving up for Penix or Nix.  It’s  JJM.   I’ve heard people just raving about Penix, but it kinda feels like you’re drafting an old beat up QB for some reason, but a guy who can really flick it.  His deep ball is a thing of beauty.

That would make my day. It wouldn't redeem KAM yet though.
